DeLaite Films Freelance Filmmaking and Productions. DeLaite Films is an independent filmmaking business. I believe film is the best medium for capturing life itself.

I specialize in promotional videos, weddings, events, commercials, real estate, and lifestyle film. As a creator, I promise to continually be a student of film so I can give my clients the most authentic and original content.

Long dance floor cuts >>> everything else.

I had the FX5 pre-order page open Wednesday night. Then I slept on it and asked: what in my last six projects would this have actually fixed?

Honest answer, for me.. not much. Not a knock on the camera. But where I am and probably where many are.

If you’re in the same spot, what has moved my work most:

Light first, recover second. RAW gives you room to fix underexposure. A practical and a bounce card means you don’t have to.

Match your color temp. A lot of “cheap camera look” is 3200K and 5600K fighting in one frame. Free fix, huge difference in skin.

Know your base ISOs. 800 + variable ND for daylight, 12800 when it’s gone. That’s carried whole jobs for me.

Nail exposure in camera. Beat every post workflow I’ve tried, on every body I’ve owned.

The FX5 raises the ceiling. It does not raise your floor.

Still might buy it. But it’ll be a decision, not a reflex.

Almost 10 years of owning this thing.

If you’d asked me at the start what would build it, I’d have said the work. Be good at the work and the rest follows.

The work matters. But what actually built my business was relationships. Clients who came back. Other clients who sent people my way when they didn’t have to. Vendors who became friends. It turned out to be less about who I know and more about who knows me, and what they say about me when I’m not in the room.

Word of mouth built this. Referrals built this. People vouching for me built this.

Do I still want it to grow? Yes. Faster, some days. But there’s a stewardship you continue to learn as an owner, and I don’t think it gets taught as much as it’s learned through the experience. What comes quickly is usually the hardest to hold onto.

So I’m grateful for the ten. Curious about the next ten.

If someone sent you my way once, thank you. That was the whole business.
