This summer and fall I had the pleasure of shooting a bunch of new content for 6 ABCs news intro montages. I received access to some pretty cool locations like the Phillies game, the Philadelphia Zoo (Gus made me fall on love with giraffes) and Reading Terminal Market. It's a completely different run and gun filming experience in that usually when you're filming random things in public, people shy away from the camera. But when you have a 6 ABC shirt on.... People jump at the chance to be on TV. It makes my job a whole lot easier when your subjects are excited to be filmI guess being considered the "unbiased, nonpolitical" news station has it's benefits. Shooting the Phillies game with a Canon 400mm on RED Epic using a monopod (they didn't allow tripods in the well) was a learning experience. But shooting Ryan Howard crack one at 300 fps made working with that cumbersome rig well worth it. If the project calls to avoid phase issues then stay at 240 with a 180 degree shutter.
