What I've Been Up To Lately
So much for staying warm at home and watching reruns! I did live shots for NBC News Channel in the blizzard from wonderful Worcester, Massachusetts for two days.
Gotta love the Aadyntech JAB Hurricane!
The NBC Nightly News team practicing with their drone for their 2 camera live shot-o-rama for tonight's show. If you look carefully at the garage door, to the left of the shrub, you'll see the white DGI drone. Look for its red lights:
I've worked in TV and video production since 1995.
Since 2005, I've been a freelance D.P. (Director of Photography - i.e. cameraman) based in Boston. Previously, I worked in news, where I learned to work fast, light when necessary, and shoot for the edit.
My career has given me a wide range of hands-on experience in many aspects of video production. My specialties: DP, lighting cameraman, shooting video, lighting, ENG audio, linear and nonlinear video editing, field producing, still photography.
I've shot all kinds of projects including documentaries; network programs and news; live shots; travel, home improvement, reality, fishing, and cooking shows; as well as surgeries; corporate videos; and multi-camera events. I also work as a field audio technician.
Note that I can light and shoot for many different styles. Often I do all the camera work, lighting, and sound while working with a producer.
I am comfortable working as a one man band, in a small crew, or with a large group. I am familiar with nearly every camera available from high end full-size broadcast HD cameras to DSLRs and HD palm-corders.
I'm available with or without my own gear.
