» First Fire of the Year!
02/04/12 10:53 AM from beFrank
Hey! I just realized I\'d started this post in the Blogsy app on my iPad, but had stopped using Blogsy, so I never actually got around to using the app. Dang. Oh well, for your blogging pleasure, here\'s what I was doing at my first big fire of the year. My day had been pretty slow. It was getting close to the end of my shift-- (Gee, I just realized that happens to me a lot. It\'s almost time for me ..
» The Journey: Go To Team’s LA Apprenticeship
02/03/12 9:00 AM from Go To Team HD Video Crews
The Go To Team apprenticeship has been quite a journey so far. The adventure began as I loaded up my belongings and left South Carolina and headed for sunny California. I was very excited to have the opportunity to learn from the LA crews’ Skip Clark and Dan Lowrey. My first few days with Skip and Dan were spent learning everything about the newest and best gear. Hands on training with the Ar..

» Nashville Crew Hits The Campaign Trail With Fox News
01/30/12 9:00 AM from Go To Team HD Video Crews
Political season is in full swing, there’s no question about that. I headed to Spartanburg, SC for Fox News to cover the tenth Republican debate. With an early morning drive under my belt I set up for live shots all day at Wofford College. I was shooting on the Panasonic HDX 900. I used two 400w HMIs to light my correspondent, Carl Cameron. A 200w HMI provided some backlight. Througho..
» New Years Resolutions
01/26/12 4:29 PM from beFrank
Okay, so maybe I am a little late in getting around to committing for 2012. It\'s my understanding that resolutions are for people who want to improve in some way. That usually relates to getting rid of bad habits. Sure, I got tons of bad habits. I\'m just not positive that I have any I\'m ready to get rid of. The plan is to eat better this year. No more donuts (or doughnuts either). Stop ..

01/25/12 9:00 AM from Go To Team HD Video Crews
Skip Clark, one of Go To Team’s two Los Angeles crews, was recently in the studio with comic impersonator Frank Caliendo as he shot his ‘Frank’s Picks’ segment for the Fox Sports NFL Pre-Game show. Frank was playing his characters David Letterman and Paul Shaffer. As Fox isn’t going to get to shoot on the real Letterman set, they used a green screen for the shot. A desk, complete with Letterma..

On Monday morning this week, I was greeted by the news that one of my photographs was selected to be a Daily Deviation on the Deviant Art web site. That was insanely cool for me. I can\'t show the picture here (NSFW, NSFW!), but these are shots from the same set. Deviant Art is a web site where some pretty amazing artists from all over the world show their work. I started submitting my shots to the..
» Nashville Crew Spends Thanksgiving in Baton Rouge
01/23/12 9:00 AM from Go To Team HD Video Crews
Life as a cameraman can mean working during the holidays. Last year I spent Christmas with the Weather Channel. This year I spent Thanksgiving on the road for The Music Initiative. The best part was that my sister came along for the shoot down in Baton Rouge. It was nice to be with some family on Turkey Day. The shoot it’s self was pretty cool too. Armed with an HVX 200 and a nexto, I spent ..

» Losing Great Ones
01/20/12 1:56 PM from beFrank
The father of one of my friends from work passed away this week. The guy I work with is a man of character and I guess that\'s because of the way he was raised. Now today Etta James has died. I know the clock is ticking for everyone, but I can\'t help feeling that we\'re losing some great people here and that\'s bringing me down. I\'m listening to Etta James music and trying not to dwell on it. My reso..
