This week, Chris, Jordan, and Jaron are joined by filmmaker Levi Holwell to discuss documentary filmmaking and all of the details that go into a successful production. But before that, the four talk about the biggest camera ever made, Nikon's huge new camera robot, and how despite getting a new firmware update last week, Sony didn't give filmmakers everything they were looking for.
