I’ve been fortunate enough to be a part of many media days throughout my career, and our shoots with the Denver Nuggets are always special. For the 2025-2026 season, the Nuggets wanted a set that was dynamic, something that looked great scaled from smartphone all the way to jumbotron. We came up LED pillars, staggered in a way that we could stretch graphics across them to create panoramic scenes. Around the pillars we built a full 30 x 30 feet black box, ensuring we could perfectly control the light for maximum effect. Additionally, our friends at ARRI let us test out the new ALEXA 35 Xtreme paired with the new Enso lenses, leading to a beautifully cinematic result.
