Into the Wild - My Houston Excursion

Phillip Barnhard

In case you missed me, I was down in Houston recently. I did a quick overnighter for a video shoot at one of our client's Houston office. On this trip, I decided to drive rather than fly. The last time I flew to H-town with video equipment, I got to hear my name paged over the airport's PA system while I sprinted through the terminal carrying 70 pounds of camera equipment. After I missed my flight, I buried myself in the tallest beer at the Chili's Too. It was as beaten as I've ever been. On this trip, I sailed down in a rented Chevy Malibu — the yacht of Interstate 45. 

When I arrived, the weather was a putrid 102 degrees, so obviously I chose to wear black to the shoot. Luckily it was mostly indoors, but when it wasn't, I paid dearly for that decision. Overall, the shoot went really well. One of the marketing guys was kind enough to snap a few shots of me filming. I love behind-the-scenes looks but rarely remember to ask someone to snap a few pics. Here are a few moments from the all-day event:

The slider. Always fun to use the slider. 

The shoulder rig with optional wheelie chair. Classic setup.

Being very invasive during closeups.

Sometimes you have to sit back and admire the satellites.

The lab was very bright. Easy on the ISO.

In the lab, the shoulder rig proved vital to mobility.
