Behind the Scenes: Encompass Testing shoot Production in New York, New York

There's something special about rolling into New York, New York for a production day. When Encompass called on Assignment Desk to bring their vision to life, Roger Woodruff was ready. As the DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY (DP) on this project, I knew we had the talent, the gear, and the drive to deliver something exceptional.

The day started at 09:00 with a call from Shawn Moffatt, our producer, who laid out the game plan. The shoot centered on Testing shoot — the kind of project that demands both technical precision and creative storytelling. Every frame needed to count, and with Encompass's reputation on the line, there was no room for anything less than our best.

On the technical side, we built our setup around the Fx8, supplemented with Labtop. The lighting conditions in New York presented some unique challenges, but that's exactly the kind of problem-solving that makes this job rewarding. Every lens choice, every camera angle was deliberate — designed to capture the story Encompass needed to tell.

The energy on set was electric. From the first setup to the final take, every member of the team bt their A-game. It's that kind of collaboration — where everyone is locked in and working toward the same goal — that makes Assignment Desk crews stand apart in the New York, New York video production market.

By 12:00, we had everything Encompass needed and then some. The footage will speak for itself — clean, compelling, ready to be cut into a story that resonates with their audience. This is what video production in New York, New York looks like when you bring the right crew to the table.
