I recently was involved in a music video shoot. My friend Anthony Frederick was camera operator, and I was camera assistant. We went to Becker at noon on Tuesday to pick up the RED camera to use. On the way to the Mansion we were shooting at we both weren't too excited for the project. I thought it might just be the band and a few guys at an average house that the crew called a "mansion." We pulled into the driveway, and we were blown away. The house was huge. It was really a mansion. Suddenly I got pretty excited about the project. Then two cars arrived that we would be using for the shoot. A corvette convertible and a 1960's Camaro. This was shaping up to be a high value production. Anthony and I were teamed up with Remedy Live a company from Fort Wayne. They were directing and producing the film. We were just there to run the camera. The guys from Remedy were very relaxed and made it fun to work on.
All the expensive locations
and vehicles we had there just showed me that if you know people and
make some calls, anything can happen. I'm trying to get to know as many
people as I can. Friends in high places can really help in the film
business. The shoot went really well and I learned a lot. I'm really
glad I went.The Mansion
This really was a great experience. That picture doesn't do it justice!
