I spent this last weekend in Primm, NV shooting the Las Vegas 300 for the show Desert Racing on Outdoor Channel. Having worked with the producer on some online edits last season, I was fortunate enough to get the call to operate one of the field cameras for this off road event.
It was a really cool experience and I’m hoping I can do more of these in the future. I really have to admire the racers who can do these long off road races in the desert with all the conditions and obstacles that they face. It was really nice being out in what felt like the middle of nowhere with nothing around me for miles and miles… until of course a race truck or buggy came zooming by me.. and then back to nothingness for a few minutes.
Check out the Las Vegas 300 on Desert Racing on Outdoor Channel in the coming weeks. I’m not sure exactly when this specific show will air.
Here are some pictures that I took on my camera phone from the shoot.
This past weekend I spent working in Kansas City, MO for the NPPL live webcast of their Super 7 tournament event. I worked with friend and producer Jayne Romyn formerly from Outdoor Channel shows “Inside Paintball” and “Inside RC”. She was running a really tight crew of about 10 people that worked to get the live 8-hour a day streaming webcast running on www.nppllive.com.
This was my first time working a paintball event and my job was to go out and shoot, capture, edit and deliver small 3-5 minute segments that could be played during breaks in the action that gave people a taste of the flavor of being at a live event. I had a really good time working with the crew – they were all really talented individuals and incredibly efficient at their jobs. Here are some pictures from the event, followed by a short 2-minute hightlight reel of what I shot during the weekend.
Most of you who know me are very familiar with this project that I am working on, but for those of you who don’t, here is a link..
I invested A LOT of my time into this project. I traveled to Sri Lanka with Eric Klein and James Sicignano in early 2005 to document the tsunami that happened in December 2004 – and spent countless hours, with the help of Eric Klein and Matt Bieler, cutting this trailer for a movie that we are still in the process of making.
