This was a great shoot with a really great crew. We shot this for two days on location in Philadelphia - almost all those shots are some form of Steadicam. Studio was a large set up... with a swing. That was something new for me. Special thanks to Dan Glas for rigging the swing, Doug Franz for lending us the bike, and the Scene Shop for creating the swing. I had a ton of fun with this.

Bug cover - Indoor/outdoor

This was a QVC shoot for an upcoming TSV (Today's Special Value... the key selling item of the day). Because of rain, we were forced to shoot indoors and I was very pleased with the look. We abandoned all the existing set lights and went with a 12x12 silk with two 5k's punching threw. The was an additional 2k raking the background to add to the sun light feel. Two 2k's going into a 4x8 sheet of foamcore filled out the scene. When the video is available - I will post it.
