\"Shooting<\/a>
Shooting a slider shot of one of Clint Bowyer’s first race cars.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Another NASCAR related shoot?\u00a0 Yes, please.\u00a0 I headed up to Clint Bowyer\u2019s hometown, Emporia, KS to shoot a feature for SPEED.\u00a0 Race Hub has been doing this great series called \u201cHome Again.\u201d\u00a0 Our Charlotte cameraman shot one on Ricky Stenhouse Jr. a few months ago.\u00a0 I was lucky enough to get booked on the Clint Bowyer one.\u00a0 I couldn\u2019t wait to get up to Kansas.<\/p>\n

We pulled all the stops for this shoot.\u00a0 I was shooting on the Sony F3 with our set of Arri Ultra Primes; 14mm, 24mm, 50mm, 85mm, and 180mm.\u00a0 I was also rockin\u2019 the MYT Slider.\u00a0 Needless to say I had a blast working with this gear.<\/p>\n

I used the 50mm Arri Ultra Prime for this shot.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Our first day started with shooting b-roll of the dealership Clint Bowyer recently purchased.\u00a0 I shot all the slider b-roll while the other camera guy shot hand held b-roll.\u00a0 After the dealership we headed to the Clint Bowyer Community Center.\u00a0 Our b-roll adventure ended at the towing shop Clint worked at prior to getting the call from Richard Childress.<\/p>\n

\"Clint<\/a>

We headed over to Clint\u2019s parent\u2019s home to set up for some interviews with family and friends.\u00a0 To save time we set up for two interviews at the same time.\u00a0 I worked on the parent interview in the living room while the other cameraman set up for the brother interview in the garage area.\u00a0 We only had my gear to use so we literally emptied my truck.\u00a0 I used some Kino Flos and a couple of Arri lights for my set up.\u00a0 We used Arri lights with Chimeras for the other interview.\u00a0 The day ended with me shooting childhood pictures of Clint.<\/p>\n

The second day was a bit crazy.\u00a0 It was all about following Clint Bowyer around.\u00a0 The second cameraman shot that footage while I focused on getting more slider b-roll.\u00a0 Our day started at the dealership again where Clint did a ribbon cutting.\u00a0 Afterwards people gathered in a huge tent where they could enjoy food and drink and get autographs with some of their favorite Michael Waltrip Racing drivers.<\/p>\n

For the interviews the subjects directed their answers to the camera for a more intimate feel.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We once again made the stop at the community center and the towing shop but this time with Clint.\u00a0 At the end of each shoot location we did a slider shot with Clint.\u00a0 We also stopped by the old Emporia fairgrounds with Clint.\u00a0 He shared some more stories with the us.\u00a0 Eventually we said goodbye to Mr. Bowyer and focused on shooting some more b-roll.<\/p>\n

After almost two days of rain the sun finally came out.\u00a0 We jumped on the opportunity to shoot some pretty scenics of Emporia.\u00a0 To make the most of what daylight was left we split up.\u00a0 I took the MYT Slider into the heart of Emporia and got some town shots.\u00a0 I then headed over to the Veteran\u2019s Day Park.\u00a0 Did you know Emporia is the home of Veteran\u2019s Day?\u00a0 Yup, neither did I.<\/p>\n

Overall it was a pretty cool shoot.\u00a0 I had a lot of fun working with Clint Bowyer.\u00a0 I volunteered to play DIT and copied over all the footage to the producer\u2019s hard drive.\u00a0 Later that night I handed it off to the producer and called it a night.\u00a0 The next morning I made the trek back to Dallas.\u00a0 I\u2019m really looking forward to seeing the finished piece air on SPEED\u2019s Race Hub.<\/p>\n

I used the 24mm Arri Ultra Prime to get this shot. Love those lenses.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
