27. Network Television Camera Setup at Fenway Park - S…
1 year ago
Please check out my Television Production Blog at tomguilmette.com/wp/my-blog/

A college professor who teaches television production asked me to shoot a short step-by-step video of my set day at Fenway Park for the television network I freelance for.

I shot this video with a Kodak Easy Share v705 digital still camera set to movie mode. For this project, this video is content driven, not visual. Sorry the picture is less than standard definition.

I voiced this video in a Fenway bathroom using my new Zoom H4 four track stereo handy audio recorder. I used the built in stereo pair on the unit and I am very happy with the results.

I also shot a short video about the Sony HDC-910 that is available to view in my videos on Vimeo.

    Very nice Tom, any chance of a step by step from inside the truck. How about inside the Green Monster and the guys who work in there. Great job.

    I wish you all could have heard Jesse the technical directors' comments during the fax. That is often the most entertaining part of our day at Fenway!!
    Nice job Tom !! , but you forgot to mention the nice 3 hour lunches you guys get!

    Nice!! I've used studio cameras on pedestals before, but setting this up and breaking it down each day is much different! Didn't realize that focus mechanism was actually mechanical. It feels so smooth.

    Once again, a stellar educational video! It is amazing seeing everything come together with such detail.

    I almost like these videos more than your own cinematic works... (maybe not--those are phenomenal!)

    Thanks again for another insider look!

    Awesome, that camera setup is truly amazing. Just one thing I do not understand: do you use mechanical zoom with that huge lens? Why? I just though you would use servo driven focus. Do you prefer mechanical focus?

    I was just curious about what the price of the camera was.
    The price I found on the internet was $94,700. No wonder you take so much time fastening it down to the ground.

    Tonsil Cam? Now that is a new one. An acquired skill to be sure. Loved the insider look into sports television. Too cool, Tom.
    Do you get to follow along with the game much from there?
