In Loving Memory of LeFrancis #OutWithTheOldInWithTheNew #AboutTime
Our favorite rebel rouser, Frank LaSpina, (aka LeFrancis) has stepped down as Director of Operations here at F11 Rentals to pursue a bright and sunny opportunity beyond these hallowed halls. While he will be greatly missed, we will persevere and carry on with full hearts and heads held high. Operations will continue as normal, and you may still contact us through the normal avenues, i.e. email us at rentals@f11rentals.com, give us a ring at (702) 703-5400, or send us some good vibes through the power of telekinesis (no guarantees there).
My name is James Moore, I was the one behind the camera for all of Frank's wonderful video appearances, and I will be the new Director of Operations here at F11 Rentals. I can't promise I have the same, wonderful, flowing hair as Frank, nor the winning smile, but, I will do my best to offer the same, top-caliber service you've come to expect from us.
As a tribute to Frank, here are some nice photos to remember him by.

Streaming live from Las Vegas! #streaming #wirecast #isthislive?
F11 Rentals recently provided gear to FiveSix Productions when they worked a job streaming a four-day educational speaker last week. The speaker held a four-day, eight hour educational session that was attended by about thirty people, and then viewed by an additional dozen or so more online.
FiveSix ultimately ended up utilizing the wirecast software from telestream to stream online, and was very impressed with the ease and dependability of the product. Our mighty Panasonic HPX 500, along with a Blackmagic converter made a great trio with the new streaming software used by FiveSix.
Future streaming jobs will now be much smoother and more efficient thanks to the wirecast software.
Next time you're up a creek (or stream) without a paddle, give us a call and we'll get you all situated with the right gear to get the job done right.

Dana Dolly. . . It's a beautiful thing.
Dolly moves are cool.
You want your project to be cool.
I want your project to be cool.
You want the Dana Dolly on your next project.
Seriously though, the Dana Dolly is the perfect combination of dolly and slider. It's smooth and beautiful, but sets up in a snap. This bad boy is rocking a C300, a 70-200 and a Ki Pro Mini, powered by Dionic batteries. All of which are available at f11 Rentals. If you prefer a more conventional dolly setup though, we can accommodate that as well, that's out dolly in the background.
