This blog is no longer being updated. It's here as an archive of some of the work I've done. The Vimeo videos will continue to update automatically as I add more videos to the FishVidz channel.

(Older updates:)
A documentary-style television show that airs on TV5 in Quebec has requested some of my Ft. Lauderdale footage for an upcoming fall episode. Victoria's Secret TV (2008) recently won 2 Telly awards for our unique online behind-the-scenes coverage! The Extra Action ("Marching Madness") video was expired by Current.com and I cannot at the moment find another version online. Finally, Macy's Satellite Network was closed by Macy's, Inc. and the studio website is no longer available. If I can find my own copy of the control room and studio pictures, I will update the post.

Behind the Scenes: Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

CBS Mobile Technical Director - Chief Engineer

Miami, FL -
This trip for CBS Mobile was not just a week of behind-the-scenes coverage of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show for CBS Mobile and MediaFLO. It was also the grand re-opening of the Fontainebleau Hotel on Miami Beach, and it was a huge party and a great event.




One of the unique features of our workflow for the final two evenings was the use of P2 cards and a video-over-IP connection to FloTV in San Diego for quick-turnaround, near-live production. While this may have been done by other production companies for other events, I'm not so sure that anyone ever got their connectivity via the mini-bar network before....


Yes, we were sending video over the same hub normally used by the mini-bar to tell the front desk that you've taken a beer or a can of Pringles!

While there, I had a chance to take advantage of the underwater scene as well, spending two days diving and shooting video off the Fort Lauderdale, FL coast on local wrecks and reefs...




Like my other underwater videos, this clip is available with more description and in HD on my page on Vimeo.
