Visual Story Telling

ShaBiron S. Shockley journey to filmmaking is a story of perseverance and passion. Growing up in a small town with big dreams, he nurtured his love for storytelling through poetry and creative writing, eventually evolving into visual mediums. Filmmaking started for me by writing stories, Shockley shared. I wrote books and poems before I even knew what a script was.

This passion led him to self-fund projects that demonstrated his talent, ultimately opening doors to commercial cinematography. His work today reflects his narrative-driven style, which balances technical expertise with emotional depth.

Flyers Charity Project

The commercial, a collaboration with Pel Productions, sought to depict the journey of young hockey players, beginning with street hockey and culminating in NHL-level dreams. Josh Pellegrini, owner of Pel Productions and Director for this commercial reached out to me with a brief from Flyers Charities and the mission was clear ,Shockley explained. We wanted to show how the Philadelphia Flyers Charity can support the community to help rebuild and refurbish rinks, encouraging kids to dream big.

The project required a mix of dynamic action shots and intimate portraits, emphasizing both the sport and its impact on young players' lives. The one-day shoot at Philadelphia's Scanlon Recreation Center demanded efficiency, creativity, and meticulous planning.

Getting the shot with the ARRI Mini LF, powered by native DIONIC 26V batteries.

Premium Power, No Compromise

One of the key tools in Shockley's kit was Anton/Bauer's native 26V Gold Mount Plus batteries, specifically the DIONIC 26V 240Wh. The batteries powered his ARRI Mini LF camera, SmallHD Cine 13, and Teradek transmitters throughout the shoot. Native 26V batteries have lower source impedance, which means they generate less heat and are more efficient than regulated batteries. This means they last longer, perform better, and respond to high power demands more effectively.

When you're working with bigger cameras that draw a lot of power, having reliable batteries is critical.

With the 26V batteries, Shockley was able to utilize 20A peak and 12A continuous power to shoot continuously for up to four hours, even with multiple peripherals connected. They give me flexibility on set, he noted. Time is money, and not having to pause for frequent battery changes makes all the difference.
