An episode of NOVA about neutrinos that I helped shoot in 2020 will finally start airing!
NOVA: Particles Unknown
Outnumbering atoms a billion to one, neutrinos are the universe’s most common yet most elusive and baffling particle. NOVA joins an international team of neutrino hunters as they try to capture an elusive fourth form of neutrino. Their results may force scientists to redraw their blueprint of the subatomic world, the Standard Model of physics, and change our understanding of how the universe works.
I'm a TV cameraperson. Here's my "pro tips" for video chats on the web.
I basically treat them like I do a live shot or an interview:
1: If you turn the brightness up on your computer screen, it makes a nice key (main face) light. Avoid bright lights or windows behind you. The computer's camera will try to expose for that, and then you look dark if not silhouetted. Make yourself slightly brighter than the background, but not so much so that it looks like you're sitting in the dark.
Spent some time in Manchester, NH for the Presidential Primary. Shot various events around town in the lead up, then shot live anchor hits for the PBS News Hour on primary night.
Yesterday's crazy last minute shoot on the island of Nantucket filming two remote interviews for PBS's FRONTLINE. There and back the same day!
