\"Charlotte<\/p>\n

Time sure does fly when you’re having fun. Isn’t that what they say? I can attest to this during my day of being the Director of Photography for the Rough N Rowdy event<\/a> with Barstool Sports<\/a>. I drove in the day before the event as it was a six-hour drive ahead of me – Charlotte, North Carolina to Morgantown, West Virginia. I needed time to go over specs with my other cameraman, David DiFalco<\/a>, from Washington, DC. Timing and organization is everything in this world. Let me take you through my schedule with them!<\/p>\n

\"Charlotte<\/p>\n

We drove back to our hotel in separate suburbans after a long day. I woke up the next morning, packed up my bags, ate breakfast, and hit the road. After another six hour drive, I was back to home base. I treated myself out to eat that night, and found myself looking at what was next up on my calendar to go shoot. Barstool Sports<\/a> is one of my favorite clients to work for. Never a dull moment! I can’t wait to see some highlights from the night!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Gear: Sony F5, Panasonic HDX900<\/p>\n
