I was lucky enough to spend the day at the Titans Training Facility in Nashville, TN. It was there that I shot a PSA with quarterback, Jake Locker. I was shooting on the Sony F-900 utilizing the Nano Flash which records to CF cards.
We were shooting on the indoor practice field. Above is a skylight that lets in plenty of sunlight. No scrim was needed because the sunlight was very much diffused. I used one 400w Kobold HMI as a key. The skylight made for a great natural backlight.
The camera was mounted to a doorway dolly on track. This gave the shot a nice slow moving motion.
As always, I had a great crew to work with. When we finished shooting I took the CF card from the Nano Flash and quickly plugged it into the Nexto. As we packed up, the footage was copied over to the Nexto. This way I had a back up just in case. By the time we were rolling out of the facility the footage had already been duplicated. I’m definitely looking forward to more NFL shoots.
