Definitely one of the coolest shoots we’ve done. For The Golf Channel’s production of “Breaking 90”, we flew out to the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln for two days and a night to chronicle the show’s subject Juston Cooper during his “normal” life. Working around the tight quarters of an aircraft carrier is a challenge, but the “coolness” factor of the shoot made it easier. Pictured left to right are Dean Reinmuth, Justin Cooper, Jeff Landie, Bob Sloan, and Jay Kossof, producer for the Golf Channel.
Using Proper Tools
Using fundamental tools for lighting a scene yields a more deliberate and artful picture as opposed to the “light it up and look at the monitor” approach. Jeff Landie of Sloan Productions uses a light meter to determine the key to fill to backlight ratio.
Production Administration
Cost effective production is facilitated by detailed notes and logs that are passed on to the editor. Jeff Landie marks individual and keeper takes during on location interviews for one of Sloan Productions corporate services clients.
Attention to Detail
High end corporate production requires the same amount of discipline and care that goes into a network television program. Jeff Landie focuses a Sony Digital Betacam Camcorder on the subjects of a corporate video for Terminix Pest Control.
