Vertical Interval

As a director/ technical director, it’s not often I get to have a dedicated TD working alongside me, so when Producer Tony C and Paleyfest gave someone to button mash my panels while I directed..I had the pleasure of having a seasoned TD John Powell cut the two show.
The rest of my crew covering “Scrubs” & “Friends And Neighbors “ made the production flawless.

Just in time for the Holidays, nothing says celebration, gifts and caroling like Tick Tock’s Holiday House. Influencers from around the globe, including Speed, along with Brands from 88 Rising, came together for a six-hour Christmas QVC with a festive array of games, magic, makeovers, and music. With a mix of 31 roving and robotic cameras at a beautiful location in the Los Angeles Mountains. Thanks to David Thies of Tvacom for having me switch this entertaining event. His crew of professionals pulled off a technical holiday miracle.

Directing and switching a seven-camera event is always a pleasure, but when it evolves into a dual-production scenario, that is when the excitement begins. This past week, I was invited to participate in the Chapman University Investiture ceremony for the incoming president. In addition to covering the live event, I was also tasked with creating a secondary production for the video projector behind the stage, which would enable the audience to follow the events as they unfolded. If it were not for the exceptional support of Full Blown Events and their team of skilled professionals, the production could have encountered significant difficulties. Instead, we successfully engaged the faculty abd staff for several hours.

I haven’t been involved in motor sports for several years, but when Chris Jennings of PRIIME approached me to direct and switch the “Gridlife Laguna Festival,” I couldn’t resist the challenge and opportunity. PRIIME assembled a skilled production crew to support the event, along with their broadcast mobile trailer to cover the three-day event.
