Four Days at NBA All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles

Director of Photography, Jack Gaertner covered four days of NBA All-Star weekend in Los Angeles on an FX9.

All-Star weekend is a moving target for a camera crew. The subject matter is spread across a city, the schedule shifts, and the crew has to be ready to shoot whatever actually happens rather than what was drawn up in advance. Jack Gaertner ran the FX9 across all four days and handled the audio himself with a stick mic, which is the practical setup when you need to move quickly, grab a comment, and reposition without a full audio package slowing you down.
