800 Red Sox Games Later – How I Remain Creative as a Sports Cameraman

I am a professional broadcast sports television camera operator. That is what pays the bills and I enjoy it. Most of the time.
I am about 80 percent television technology guru and 20 percent sports fan at the moment. I love using the top of the line high definition camera equipment that costs more than my [...]

Skate Newport Cox Communications TV Spot – Letus Ultimate and Sony EX1

I was hired by a good client of mine out of Rhode Island, Cox Communications, to DP a short spot for the Newport Skating Center. I had a few rough storyboard emailed to me and I was asked to shoot the project using my EX1, Letus Ultimate and my PVC skateboard dolly system. We [...]

2010 Winter Classic – NHL Network experiments with Phantom and 3D

The 2010 NHL Winter Classic is finally over. Time to thaw out. Strike was just under three hours, not that bad.
The Bruins beat the Flyers in overtime at Fenway Park today 2-1. Not the best hockey, but a storybook ending for the Bruins and all the hockey fans that packed the ballpark.

I had a great [...]

Winter Classic NHL Hockey at Fenway Park – Set Day Behind the Scenes

I just got back from Fenway Park and threw together a quick video blog from earlier today. I only shot video when it was snowing during a break in the setup. The day was long and the Canadian CBC show I am working on is quite large. We ran a bunch of cable today, [...]

Boston Bruins Puck Follow and Winter Classic at Fenway Park

There is a huge difference shooting sports at a high frame rate and playing back the action in super slow motion. We are all use to seeing sports covered at 30 frame per second. The jagged frames look like a strobe effect when played back instant replay. Take a look at some footage I shot [...]

One Year Sony SR11 Timelapse using fixed mount made of “Fast Steel” Putty

Currently, I am working on a few timelapse projects with the Canon 5dmk2. One of them is capturing the four seasons in New England from different fixed locations. This is not a new idea, it has been done before. But I might be one of the first to use an as-seen-on-tv invention to make a [...]

Astro-Timelapse Project Preview

I have been having a lot of fun lately. “Late” being the key word. And I am working on a new project.
I am very excited about the Canon 5Dmk2 DSLR, but not just because of the shallow depth of field people have been raving about. I am very excited about the low light capabilities of [...]

“Filmy Flavor” – Sony EX1 and Letus Ultimate at Fenway Park

Looking for the video “Fenway Flavor”? You can find it here.
I work as a professional sports camera operator high up on the left field roof at Fenway Park covering the Boston Red Sox. I have seen countless games from my perch next to the foul pole and pointed my $100,000 high definition camera with 75x [...]

Canon 5dmk2 Mounted to Downhill Mountain Bike Helmet

Two of the guys I work with at a Boston television station joined me for a “business meeting” at a New Hampshire ski mountain. But we would not be skiing! We will be taking a “Daycation” (one day vacation) from work to have some fun with gravity.
Over the next two days, I am working with [...]

Canon 5dmk2 Helmet POV Camera

I will be testing a demo version of the ContourHD “wearable” HD video camera. But I have not received it yet from the company. I have a shoot this weekend with a World Cup downhill mountain biker. So I had to come up with something!
I am going to be the “chase bike”. I will be [...]
