These are my favorite assignments, innovate a way to make it work. On this assignment for ESPN‘s E:60 program, the producer asked for a dynamic shot of a bull charging the camera in High Definition. Combining research, technology, and innovation Bob used an Iconix HD-RH1 camera with a 2.2mm lens mounted in a custom camera mount to shield the camera from the impact and protect the bull from harm. It worked flawlessly.
Camera Perspective
The ability to get the camera and operator into elevated perspectives adds a tremendous amount of production value and can be achieved in many simple ways, from simply bringing a ladder on location to renting construction equipment as in this case. For this production of “The Harvest“, produced by Bob Cording of San Diego, cameraman Michael Griffith gets a birds eye view of the subject and the surroundings.
Corporate Video Production
To produce effective corporate video it’s important to understand all facets of a company or organization; it’s products, clients, business model, strengths & weaknesses, and most importantly it’s mission. By understanding a client company in depth, it is then possible to craft each project from an accurate and supportive perspective.
Mickelson
For the opening to a Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year television special, renowned golfer Phil Mickelson addresses the camera. For this shot we used a Sony F-900 High Definition Camcorder mounted on a 25 foot jib arm for long time client Intersport of Chicago.
