As of August 2019, the United States has had over 255 mass shootings. The mass shooting that occurred this past Saturday in El Paso, Texas is the deadliest shooting this year. Our hearts go out to the victims and those affected by the mass shooting.
Go To Team’s Texas DP, Roger Woodruff, captured live updates for CNN following the national tragedy. CNN correspondents, Josh Campell, Rosa Flores, and Sara Snider were on scene to cover the breaking news.
The crew set up equipment outside, across the street from the Walmart store where the shooting occurred.
The crew used a Sony F5 camera to capture live close up shots. To compete with the exterior lighting, the crew used an Astra Kit and 3 lite panels to illuminate the reporter. A power inverter was necessary to power the equipment outdoors.
Thanks to CNN and to all of the hard-working correspondents who helped report the heartbreaking news to the public. May we always remember the victims that lost their lives in the El Paso shooting.
