I have covered Katie Taylor stories many times over the years when working for national news networks, It’s always a pleasure. Recently I got a rare opportunity to spend a full weekend with her and her family when CNN approached me to film a feature package about her career and home life. You can watch the final piece in the link provided above. It was a minimal crew and a hectic weekend schedule.
Dinner scenes with Katie & friends. This was a 3 camera setup, the Sony A6300 with external recorder was used as a stationary establishing shot. 2 X FS7 cameras picked off coverage of the conversation around the dinner table. Our lighting solution was to rig a Falcon Eyes light mat above the table with a pancake diffusion for even light distribution around the table. This was a small team with a hectic schedule, being able to move fast and efficiently in jobs like this keeps the producer/director happy.
