\"Jim<\/a><\/p>\n

Whenever you get a call from The Weather Channel to work a shoot\u00a0with Jim Cantore you already know what to expect.\u00a0 This was going to be my third time working with him and I knew we were going to be seeing some interesting weather!<\/p>\n

We were\u00a0tracking Tropical Storm Colin so our first stop was in Clearwater, FL. \u00a0The Weather Channel was watching the tropical storm as it had the potential of turning into a hurricane early on, however that turned out not to be the case.<\/p>\n

By the way, Jim loved my boots!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I drove up from Fort Lauderdale on that Sunday before the storm made landfall\u00a0since my call time was at\u00a06:00 a.m.<\/span><\/span> for The Weather Channel’s show AMHQ. Usually when I shoot with TWC crew\u00a0we’re on the beach but to my surprise we were under a giant tent that was\u00a0permanently fixed to the hotel.\u00a0I was able to use my Diva lights to light Cantore as he stood out in the rain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I used HMI’s to light the background and we had a large monitor for return so that Cantore could see the program and graphics! He likes to mix things up so we constantly tried to change the shot to give us a different look. I found out during this shoot that The Weather Channel has a partnership with Facebook to do live hits and I was able to\u00a0make a\u00a0cameo appearance in one of them!<\/p>\n
