3/15 – 4/15

As supervising producer for this Verizon/Samsung commercial, I assembled a simultaneous dual-location video shoot where pro skateboarder Trevor Colden (in Denver) and pro snowboarder Scotty Lago (in Aspen) duked it out on live phone video feed for an action sports trick-off. I was based in Denver with the director. We were in constant contact with the Aspen crew. This was truly a simultaneous dual-location live production. The shoot was a huge success and came in under budget. View the spot here: http://keithcarlsen.com/PRODUCER/1
