\"\"Back in Ohio my friends and I have an expression that we hold dear to our heart.\u00a0 We like to say, \u201cBlow it up like ham.\u201d\u00a0 I\u2019m not even really sure how that saying came to be.\u00a0 Anyways, I feel as though that best describes my latest shoot in College Station, TX.\u00a0 I was shooting for the G4 Channel.\u00a0 We were doing a behind the scenes shot for a GFuel short film. I was working with the talented Kristin Adams again and yes; there were plenty of things blowing up.<\/p>\n

Shooting some slo-mo on the Sony FS 700 with the Canon 30-300mm lens.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I was shooting on two cameras for G4.\u00a0 The first was the Sony F3 accompanied by the new Fujinon 19-90mm PL mount ENG lens.\u00a0 This combination is pretty sweet.\u00a0 The depth of field, rich look, and ENG lens feel make this lens a must have when shooting a run and gun shoot like this one.\u00a0 The other camera I was shooting on was the Sony FS 700.\u00a0 This camera was brought on the shoot to capture slow motion footage of things blowing up, guns discharging shells, helicopter blades spinning, and anything else that looks cool at 120, 240, 480, or 960fps.\u00a0 At 120 and 240fps you get slo-mo in full 1080p glory.\u00a0 At 480 and 960fps you get an above SD quality.\u00a0 The image is a bit soft looking but it\u2019s pretty cool when you need extreme slow motion but have a smaller budget.\u00a0 To get close to the action of explosion, etc I used Canon\u2019s 30-300mm lens on the FS 700.\u00a0 I also had the Tokina 11-16mm PL mount lens standing by to be used on the F3 or FS 700.<\/p>\n

Kristin and the crew obviously had a pretty awesome time on this shoot.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For two days we captured all the action that goes into a short film involving a National Guard Special Unit.\u00a0 On top of capturing behind the scenes stuff we also followed our talent, Kristin Adams, as she learned how to fire weapons, interviewed cast and crew, and even flew in a Vietnam era helicopter.\u00a0 This was probably one of the coolest and most intense shoots I\u2019ve ever been on.\u00a0 Juggling two cameras was a task in it\u2019s self but my audio guy was cool enough to help me out with that.\u00a0 Since we were both able to get in the helicopter we brought both cameras along.\u00a0 I had him operate the FS 700 with the 11-16mm while I handled the F3.\u00a0 When time came to blow up the big base we had both cameras on it as well.<\/p>\n

When it was all said and done we walked away with some really cool footage.\u00a0 I can\u2019t wait to see how this all gets cut together.\u00a0 It\u2019s pretty cool when your job allows you to ride in old school helicopters, work with Special Forces soldiers, and shoot on the latest and coolest gear.\u00a0 All and all, I\u2019d say we blew it up like ham.<\/p>\n
