This was a shoot for the Sports Car Club of America at High Plains Raceway, a road racing facility located near Denver. I documented the Colorado division of the SCCA Majors Race Tour. The SCCA Majors is a championship motorsport race series that spans across North America and features several car classifications. My coverage at High Plains Raceway was focused for the Formula Race Cars. Formula racing is cars are single-seat, open wheel racecars that have incredible power to weight ratios.The cinematography challenges on this project were finding the best positioning on the track. Often the best locations to shoot are also the most dangerous to stand, so I had to keep that in mind when setting up my shots. Pulling focus on these racecars driving in excess of 120MPH is also no easy task. I was operating the Sony FS700 Camera while on this assignment, shooting mostly high frame rates on telephoto lenses.

Mountain Men | History Channel

Mountain Men is an American reality television show created by Warm Springs Productions for History Channel. Mountain Men documents the lives of several mountain men living off the grid in rural mountainous areas of the United States. Tom Oar and his brother Jack Oar, pictured above, paddle the Snake River in Montana as they set beaver traps for the upcoming winter. Tom Oar resides year round in the Yaak Valley of northwestern Montana. My role on the production was Camera Operator and I filmed the project on the Panasonic hpx300 and hpx3000.
