It\u2019s been awhile since I\u2019ve written a blog so bear with me.\u00a0 A lot of things in my life have changed but one constant is my drive to visit all fifty states.\u00a0 A couple months ago I was lucky enough to get flown up to Anchorage, AK for a client that produces a crime show.\u00a0 I\u2019ve shot for this client a number of times before but they hadn\u2019t flown me somewhere yet.\u00a0 Needless to say, I was excited and ready for an adventure.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I traveled up to Alaska with a ton of cases.\u00a0 I think ten in total.\u00a0 Lots of lights, my slider, lenses, and the Sony FX3 got checked with United Airlines.\u00a0 My carry-on was the Sony FX9.\u00a0 I never check the A-CAM.\u00a0 I\u2019m too paranoid.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The schedule was tight so there was little time to explore but I snuck in a quick hike to take some pictures of Alaska\u2019s beautiful landscapes.<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I spent most of my time in two different air-b\u2019n\u2019b\u2019s shooting multiple 4 hour long interviews.\u00a0 My Sony FX9 was paired with the Zeiss Batis 40mm f2.0 and the Zeiss Batis 85mm f1.8 was on the FX3.\u00a0 There was an interview or two where I used the Sony 100-400mm on my B-CAM instead of the 85mm.\u00a0 It just all depended on the space I had to work with.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I\u2019ve had Nanlite\u2019s in my kit now for a couple years and I absolutely love them.\u00a0 I\u2019m usually using the Nanlite 300 and a Par-120 soft box for my key.\u00a0 This trip was no different.\u00a0 The look of the show is super moody and dramatic so most of the time I\u2019m ND\u2019ing windows, dial in a nice key light, and maybe use a Nanlite 60 to hit the background somewhere and I\u2019m good to go.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On top of running cameras and lights I\u2019m also getting my \u201cZoom\u201d on.\u00a0 Our producer was working remote so I had to set up my laptop and connect both cameras to my computer so I could show her the shots via Zoom.\u00a0 It\u2019s easy to do at this point thanks to Covid and the world being on lock down for awhile.\u00a0 Remember that?\u00a0 Yeah, I don\u2019t want to talk about it.\u00a0 Anyways, one positive that came out of all that is everyone at Go To Team is a \u201cZoom Ninja.\u201d\u00a0 We can show you exactly what the shot looks like via Zoom, plus we can hit a switch and you\u2019ll hear what the audio guy hears too.\u00a0 It\u2019s pretty cool.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
After a couple long days of shooting long interviews it was time to shoot a ton of scenics and locations related to the crime scene.\u00a0 The biggest challenge was the rain and keeping the gear dry.\u00a0 Other than the rain we had a really smooth day jumping from location to location with the FX9 and MYT Slider.\u00a0 All the b-roll was high-speed \/48fps.<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Oh, by the way, I literally saw a mamma moose and a baby moose walking through a parking lot.\u00a0 Yes, I got that b-roll.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I had a great time out in Alaska.\u00a0 I still can\u2019t believe clients trust me to not only tell their story but on top of that they will fly me thousands of miles from home to do it. That\u2019s really cool and it never gets old.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On to the next one.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
