On set... Four Days on a Plane and a Few Hours in a Hotel

Working it out in Basic Economy. Spent a few more days on a plane recently. Can’t wait to see the selects so I can start pushing through the post production

Nothing crazy on this shoot. It was interesting spending time in a hangar outside of the usual DFW hangar we have been to in the past. Same kit, different city. Run Around works best in these tight spaces. Add a couple iPads and a 16” OLED. That’s about all it takes aside from making sure you fit in while also being out of the way.

On set in Washington DC

Airport shoots are always interesting. Security is obviously tight. Real passengers on a mission to navigate through the airport can be troublesome. Plenty of rules to follow and lets not forget that when we move all this gear to the terminal, it all has to go through TSA just the same as if we were flying.

We keep the kit light for these very reasons as we make our trek from the check-in lines through TSA to the club and then over to the gate. Production is tight on these jobs for a good reason; there’s no time for inefficiency when you’re working in a live location (especially an airport.)

The kit was basically a Run Around kit but we added the cart to the mix to help navigate the long walks between shooting areas. Sony A7rIV tethered to an MBP M4 with 30’ of tether cable. Casting a signal to a 16” OLED display on wheels for client and photographer review keeps me out of the way but just within earshot.

Selects are trickling in for post production. Looking forward to receiving the rest

Runners for Toyota shot by Jonny Miller

Here are a few of my favorite running shots taken by Jonny Miller on a shoot highlighting the Toyota and Vail Resorts partnership. Can we skip winter this year? I’m ready for spring.

For these images the photographer is strapped into the back of the “camera car’s” trunk or truck bed. I sit shotgun with a laptop on external battery power, running a tether cable through the car to reach the camera. I put an iPad mini in back for Jonny to review at the turn arounds. When hotspots and cell service are available I’ll put another iPad near the turn around and set up a Capture One Live Session so the client can see what we are capturing as we drive down the road.

There is a ton of coordination and communication between everyone involved to achieve these types of shots. It’s important for me to having everything running smoothly and the client able to easily review in order to insure we got the shot and can get off the road without making excessive passes back and forth which could hold up traffic.

Hangaring Out... waiting our turn

Hanging out in the hangar wrangling some video files while I wait my turn to jump on the Run Around kit for some stills. M3 tethered to a Sony “something” casting a signal out of the plane so the client can enjoy the breeze and extra leg room.

On Set in Richmond, VA

Brought the Power+ Common Kit to Virginia to work around a couple hospitals recently. A Bluetti AC200Max powers the Common Kit all day and more. Wireless 16” display floating around for anyone watching. LVNA tethering me to a Nikon Z9.
