Recently, I had the pleasure of serving as assistant camera operator for a shoot for PopSugar at their San Fransisco offices.  The shoot was for PopSugar’s TV show I’m A Huge Fan.  And the celebrity associated with this particular episode was Ms. Emma Stone!  She was pretty awesome, I must say.  Not only was I fortunate enough to shoot Ms. Stone, but I also had the opportunity to shoot The Amazing Spiderman 2‘s director Marc Webb.  And, yes, I’m happy to say many of my shots were used!  Not too bad considering it was a 4-5 camera shoot.  I suppose being the newb on set made me step my game up…..Just thankful for the work!  We shot on Canon C-300s.

This particular episode was in conjunction with the release of The Amazing Spiderman 2, for which Emma and the entire cast, along with Mr. Webb, were going around the country to promote at the time.  Although the other members of the cast were there at the PopSugar offices the day of this shoot, my job was only to aid in the sit down interview shoots with the young starlet, her director and the winner of the I’m A Huge Fan contest, who was a sweetheart.  Below you’ll find Parts 1 and 2 of the shoots I served on.  Notice Jamie Foxx and the rest of the Spiderman 2 cast throughout the videos!  Dang, would have loved to have met the Foxx man!  Oh, well.   Gotta keep it professh!

About B

Hey everyone. If you wanna know, I reside in the place of sun, silicon and superficiality. Ahhhh, my home sweet home...how I love the! Sarcasm you smell??? Well...perhaps just a bit. But, truthfully, the West is where my heart is. The world itself is a wonderful place if you let it be. That's why I like to say I give my heart to the West, and my soul to the world. Call it what you will. Living to be the best person I can be is my goal in this life. That doesn't necessarily mean being the best though. It's my belief if you do your utmost personal best, giving whatever you go for your without-a-doubt all, and make smart decisions along the way, awesome things can happen and you'll achieve what you set out to do. There can be no excuses. There can be no giving up. You must use your opportunities and develop the natural abilities you've been blessed with. And, in the end, if you stay focused, you will find your happiness. Competitiveness is great. It drives us. But we can't let it cloud our vision, dirty our good nature. Eh, take it for what you will. This is just what I've come to live by through personal experience. We are all different. Find what works for you. All in all, I hope I can provoke some sort of thought through my work, as well as provide some sort of emotion. Not every person will like it, nor will every person appreciate it. But I'm okay with that. No ego or pride here....well, okay, as little as possible at least. :) Through my art, I give my all to the world. And that's the best I can do. Thanks for your time.
