Over the last five or six years, video has become a major part of what I do. I shot my first commercial video back in 2009 with a Canon 5D2, one of the first cameras to put professional videography in the hands of anyone who could afford a D-SLR. Since those early days, I’ve upped my game and now usually shoot a two (or sometimes three) camera setup with a Canon Cinema camera and an R5 or R3. I love to tell stories through video.
Ten days ago I received a somewhat frantic call from one of my clients; their staff photographer was sick and couldn’t make it for a four day video shoot they were doing the following week… and would I be available to be the on-set stills photographer? I couldn’t do all four days, but fortunately my schedule worked out to make it the last three days.
The client is a large healthcare provider in Illinois and they were shooting a community benefit video to show how they’ve partnered with healthcare organizations and churches in some of Chicago’s poorer neighborhoods. We interviewed healthcare CEO’s, doctors and pastors and shot in clinics, community centers and inner city churches.
I’ll post link to the video when it comes out…
