Lucas Gilman is one of the leading adventure photographers and filmmakers in the industry. His powerful and incisive images run in top publications & advertisements worldwide. A love of adventure and an addiction to color creates his distinct style of photography and filmmaking. Lucas documents subjects ranging from expedition kayaking in India and Costa Rica, Surfing in Brazil to backcountry skiing in Colorado, Alaska and South America. In this interview Lucas talks with us about the portable & rugged G-Technology G-DRIVE ev ATC.
About 70% of Gilman’s business is still photography (usually Nikon’s NEF RAW format), but the rest is 1080p MOV format video transcoded to 4:2:2 or 4:4:4 ProRes, depending on the end application. All stills and video save to pro-grade SD and CF cards, which then copy via MacBook to two G-DRIVE mini portable hard drives throughout shooting in the field. These are 1TB USB 3.0 drives, and the transfers are simultaneous to ensure data redundancy as soon in the workflow as possible. When those drives fill up, two more get brought in. At the end of the day, the drives are geographically separated, often with Gilman taking one set and his assistant the other, taking care that both data sets are never in the same place at the same time.
When he returns home, Gilman takes one of his mini drive sets and copies everything either to two G-SPEED external hard drive enclosures or to two G-RAID Thunderbolts, so there are two copies in this location, as well. Gilman uses the G-SPEED units for photos and archiving while the G-RAID Thunderbolts fuel all of his video editing owing to their exceptional bandwidth and performance.
