This position is designed for photographers that  want to gain enough experience to shoot, run audio, and light at the  highest level. We have successfully run this federally accredited  apprenticeship for eight years and six of our former apprentices are now  full-time Directors of Photography for Go To Team.<\/p>\n<p>Roger Woodruff is the apprentice to Charlotte Director of Photography, Skip Clark. When Roger first found he was chosen to be Skip&#8217;s apprentice he nearly exploded with excitement. This was one step forward to becoming a skilled cameraman.<\/p>\n<p>Roger has worked with Skip for past  nine months. He says it has been an amazing learning experience. \u00a0 Aside from being introduced  to the world of ENG audio, he assisted Skip with lighting and camera  support.<\/p>\n<p>Roger and Skip have spent the majority  of their shoots on the NASCAR circuit working for Fox Sports and now TNT.\u00a0 Roger expected to learn about new equipment and techniques, but Skip has taught him other helpful tips like the media discounts that airlines  offer, learning how to pack efficiently, and how it is to live your life  on the road.<\/p>\n<p>Roger says, &#8220;The apprenticeship is about  embracing the experience and the learning opportunities it presents.\u00a0\u00a0Everyday  I grow and get more familiar with the culture and attitude of Go  To Team.\u00a0\u00a0The more assignments I complete, the\u00a0more  confident I feel about taking the next step. This is all due in large  part to Skip.\u00a0His guidance as a supervisor and mentor\u00a0builds, and  continues to build, the foundation for my future professional\u00a0success.  Thanks, Skip!&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Go To Team offers a unique opportunity to Chief Photographers and local TV Cameramen.
