I would buy the celebrity talent their lunches, and coffee. In-between time I would assist on set, and help prep the kitchen, to ensure each competition would move smoothly. I would go on runs to acquire items needed for production, or drive competitors to the air port after elimination.

I was in charge of, and utilizing all camera, and lighting equipment. Lighting the scene, and making artistic decisions as to tell the story appropriately.

Assist in production. Drive EPs and crew to and from location. Help load and unload the trucks and vans. Including pick up, and return rentals. Maintain a stocked, and presentable craft table.

My responsibilities were to assist the production where ever needed. Drive equipment to and from location. Ensure the public filled out image releases if they appeared on camera and photograph them for post-production.

I am required to go into the field to capture footage and interviews for the stories that are given to us. I edit the footage to match the script that is written. My responsibilities include the camera, accessories, car, footage quality, and the lives of the reporter and myself.

Build and care for the Sony F65. Pull focus, change filters, and clean lenses. Spot the camera operator for hand held shots through the woods. Make sure all components were returned to the rental house.

Build the HDX900, and maintain a clean lens. Spot the camera operator when doing hand held shots. Keep camera reports for post production. Reload the camera with tape when the roll is out. Label the tapes for post production.

Unload the travel truck and set up the production office, set, and master control room. Assist the crew where ever needed. Drive around Brooklyn and NYC to pick up materials. Drive the truck up to Boston for the next location.
