About Derrick

- What Camera and Equipment have you worked with most?
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.
- Do you specialize in any shoot style?
I’m in my element whenever I’m lighting a pretty interview or doing run and gun style sports. But I am confident in my skills to do any style of shoot that comes my way.
- How long have you been filming?
I have been in the video world for the last 7 years starting in Portland, ME. The last 3 years have been apart of Assignment Desk. In those 3 years I have shot in Florida, Georgia and now my new home Minnesota.
- Do you have a favorite project you’ve worked on?
I’ve gotten the chance to work on a lot of cool shoots over the last 7 years. But my all time favorite shoot has to be Super Bowl LVIII where I got the Taylor Swift entrance shot.
