Although I have no personal experience to base this on, I always hear how different my apprenticeship has been compared to others.\u00a0 When I moved to Charlotte to work with Skip, I was supposed to be running audio for him and only him.\u00a0 That changed rather quickly when Skip moved to LA.\u00a0 This move left me to run audio with other camera guys in the Go To Team family.\u00a0The dynamic of my apprenticeship changed quickly, but it changed for the better.<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead of only working with Skip and Fox Sports, I got to work with a variety of different clients and shooters.\u00a0 In doing so, I saw the big picture\u2014I understood what Go To Team does on a large scale.\u00a0 I worked on live shoots, corporate videos, and even ran audio for a few Dateline interviews.\u00a0 The outstanding talent of every Go To Team cameraman is a given, yet each cameraman has a unique approach and distinct workstyle.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prior to the NASCAR season,\u00a0\u00a0I spent most of my time running with Dave Baker.\u00a0 In a lot of ways I was unofficially Dave\u2019s apprentice.\u00a0 I asked a lot of questions at first and Dave answered all of them.\u00a0 One of the coolest shoots I ran audio for was working with Tom Wells.\u00a0 We met up in Charleston, SC to spend the day with Jenny Sandford for a Barbara Walters\u2019 special. We shot b-roll of her morning routine and headed to Columbia where she gave us an incredible tour of the Governor\u2019s Mansion.\u00a0 The only thing that would have put the icing on an already delicious day is if Barbara Walters had actually been there.<\/span><\/p>\n

Every shoot, no matter who it is with, whether it is Skip, Dave, Tom, Jimmy, or Nick, really helped me become comfortable and familiar with Go To Team\u2019s work culture.\u00a0While it wasn\u2019t originally in the plans, working with multiple cameramen from Go To Team enhanced my apprenticeship experience, provided me with greater variety, offered depth, and prepared me for my future with the company better than anything else could.<\/span><\/p>\n
