I am selling a house to buy a camera. Well, a second house I built with my friends in New Hampshire. I work way too much to enjoy it and find myself camping out under the stars more than under a roof! I am a professional broadcast sports television camera operator. That is what pays the bills and I enjoy it. Most of the time. First of all, they guys at VholdR let me borrow the 720p version ContourHD camera. I liked it so much, I paid $330 at BH Video to buy the 1080p upgraded version. I am not being paid by VholdR to write this blog.

How am I going to [...] VIDEO BLOG: The “on-air mention”: All professional sports camera guys love this. Even if they say…ahhh big deal. I am talking about the “on-air mention.” It does not happen very often, but when it does, it usually follows a sick camera shot or replay. I captured another sweet puck follow to glove [...] Finally, after many years of reading trade magazines drooling over cutting-edge equipment, surfing the internet for new gear leaks, and listening to countless television engineers talk about it… I AM GOING. I can remember the days when I would rent gear (or use my own), shoot in a location near my home and Fed EX the tapes overnight across the country to an editor for a major client. Today I worked as a lighting director and a director of photography for Turner Network Television (TNT) in Waltham, Massachusetts. I was asked to help setup and shoot a sit down interview with John Thompson Jr. (former Georgetown University coach) and Paul Pierce of the Boston Celtics. I recently got to operate the high home camera position at Fenway Park for a special project we shot with one of the richest people on the planet, Warren Buffet. The shoot was cool and exciting, but what I sat in was even better than meeting a billionaire. |
