3 Day Shoot in Palm Springs. Operated one of 4 cameras for several pressers sent to Facebook live, and acted as 1st AC for sit-down interviews each afternoon.

2 Day Shoot of Top Golf event at Safeco Stadium in Seattle. Acted as 1st AC as well as collecting B-Roll on 5D, OSMO and GoPro cameras. Also set up a 5D for a moving time lapse on a motorized track.

1st AC on a "commercial" for a prototype car for Mercedes-Benz. Wasn't a true commercial because my understanding is that it was only to be used internally by the company. Set up an FS7 on a jib car and shot along the Pacific Coast Highway south of San Francisco, plus beauty shots of the car on the streets of San Fran. Rigged up suction cups with go pros, too, as well as car interiors shot on OSMO.

Ran the equipment room, plus 2 studio spaces with white cycs. Put together every kit that went out for Video Dimensions. Lots of corporate videos, SMTs through skype, EPK packages and BTS shoots on many shows and movies shot in NYC, plus red carpets and event coverage. Regularly dealt with Audio (sound devices 422, 633, 552, 688) and cameras (Varicam 35s, FS7s, C300s, C300 Mark IIs, Sony PDW-800s, Panasonic HDX3100s, Panasonic HDX900s, plus the occasional RED or ARRI camera, though those weren't in-house cameras.) In total we had about 25 different cameras, and some days I'd send them all out. There's no job this company wouldn't take, even if we had to rent gear from all over town to pull it off. I learned a lot.

Ran scripts, took phone calls, did runs to rental houses, kept production office organized, acted as interim producer's assistant to Jane Raab in some of season 4.
