Nothing says Portland quite like a mural that says Portland.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I think it’s safe to say that I’m a bit of an expert when it comes to home renovation shows.\u00a0 This is what happens when you work on Fixer Upper for three years and DP about 45 episodes of HGTV’s biggest hit.\u00a0 With that said, it’s no surprise that a producer is willing to fly me to Portland, ME for a two day sizzle reel shoot.\u00a0 It should also come as no surprise that I was super excited about the opportunity to put my stamp on another potential HGTV home renovation show.\u00a0 Armed with my trusty C300 and every L-series lens you could want, I hopped on a flight to Maine.<\/p>\n

I felt right at home doing a sit down interview in the middle of a demoed house.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I met up with Director of Photography Apprentice, Jacob Satterfield, who by the way is awesome.\u00a0 Jacob ran audio for me in Portland.\u00a0 When he didn’t need to have a Sound Device 664 strapped to his chest I put a Canon 5D Mrkiii in hands to shoot some additional scenics.\u00a0 This was incredibly valuable because we only had so much time to shoot interviews, walk throughs, and scenics of Portland.<\/p>\n

Our first day consisted of shooting interviews with the designer and her contractor.\u00a0 We shot the sit down interviews in the house they are currently working on.\u00a0 It had just been demoed so the house was nothing but bare bones.\u00a0 I used three Lite Panels to light my subject.\u00a0 The C300 was rocking a 85mm prime (the majority of the time) and the 5D had a 35mm prime attached.\u00a0 Jacob ran audio and the secondary angle (5D) while I manned the C300.<\/p>\n

Afterwards the designer and contractor did a walk through of the house and talked about the design plan.\u00a0 Once we wrapped talent Jacob and I shot b-roll of the house.\u00a0 We ended our day with scenics of Portland but unfortunately that was cut short due to some rain.<\/p>\n

The Portland designer featured in the sizzle reel went shopping at a local antique shop.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On the second day we shot a shopping scene with the designer.\u00a0 She took us to one of her favorite antique shops in Portland.\u00a0 The lighting was all over the place so it was essential to have a camera light ready to go to her a little pop when needed.\u00a0 Once we wrapped there we went over to her house to get some b-roll of her in her \u201celement.\u201d\u00a0 She has two adorable dogs that made for some great b-roll shots.\u00a0 We ended our time with her at a park by the ocean.\u00a0 We shot some \u2018hero shots\u201d and said our goodbyes.<\/p>\n

We were way ahead of schedule on day two, which is always awesome.\u00a0 We spent the rest of the day shooting scenics all over Portland.\u00a0 Jacob traded out the audio bag for a 5D and shot supplemental b-roll\u00a0 while I rocked the C300.\u00a0 We even managed to shoot a couple time-lapse including one with a Go Pro Hero 4.<\/p>\n

It was so much fun to shoot in Portland, ME.\u00a0 I had never been there although I\u2019m no stranger to New England.\u00a0 I use to live on Nantucket.\u00a0 My main goal, aside from delivering awesome footage to the client, was to eat as much New England clam chowder as possible.\u00a0 I\u2019m happy to report that I accomplished both goals.<\/p>\n

I would say this is one of the better crew selfies I’ve been a part of.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
