About Derrick

I have been in the video world for the last 7 years starting in Portland, ME. The last 3 years have been a part of Assignment Desk. In those 3 years I have shot in Florida, Georgia and now my new home Minnesota. My camera package consists of the Sony FX9, Sony FX3 and Fs5. I have shot with other cameras such as Sony F5, C300, Arri Alexa Mini, BM URSA Mini and BM Pocket 6k. My current lighting package includes Astra LitePanels, Nanlite Forza 300s and 60s, Bi-Color Quazar tubes and ARRI Tungstens. I'm in my element whenever I'm lighting a pretty interview or doing run and gun style sports. Notable project: Super Bowl LVIII where I got the Taylor Swift entrance shot.
