Dropkick Murphys Live on Lansdowne DVD and CD World Wide Release

Last year, I directed the photography on a DVD concert project with the Dropkick Murphys – Live on Lansdowne. We shot the seven shows in six days around St. Patrick’s Day at the House of Blues, in Boston Massachusetts.
We used Boston area freelance camera operators and rented six Sony PDW-355 XDCAM cameras from Rule Broadcast. [...]

A few clips from RED ONE in Boston Shooting 120 FPS

I have a RED ONE for the weekend and I have been shooting non-stop since I got it. The sensor is heating up as I rip through 120 frames per second at 2k resolution. I tired to shoot 4.5k, but the RED hard drive wont support it!
I will be shooting a skateboarding short Sunday and [...]

Casio EX FC150 Camera – The Poor Man’s High Speed Phantom

A lot of cameras can shoot “time lapse”, but few can shoot “time warp”. That is what the Discovery Channel people like to call it when using digital technology to slow down a high speed event and make the invisible, visible.
I purchased a small Casio point and shoot camera to replace my beat up Panasonic [...]

What camera would you buy for $60,000?

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!
My clients are demanding gear and I am tired of renting a camera for [...]

UPDATE: January 6, 2010 – Download 1080p version of “One Week at Newfound Lake” at bottom of this page.
The winters in New Hampshire are brutal and many people die each year from exposure. They get lost hiking or their car breaks down on a lonely mountain road. I have been experiencing the raw power of [...]

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, [...]
