As a freelance videographer and cinematographer, I bring the expertise and equipment needed to handle projects of any scale—from corporate promotions to broadcast productions. Recently, I contributed to a high-profile project: filming interviews and b-roll for a crime and drama show set to air on A&E Network.
Filming for Broadcast, Freelance Style
This project was unique in its approach. A production company in New York hired me to capture interviews with prosecutors and detectives in my area. What made it especially interesting was that no one from their team needed to travel. Instead, the director, producer, and interviewer directed the entire shoot remotely via Zoom.
I handled everything locally—including setting up a dramatic and moody lighting scheme to ensure the overall look matched the show’s tone. Using my professional-grade camera, I connected to the laptop so the production team could see the exact shot in real time. The result? A seamless collaboration that bridged the 1,000-mile distance between us.
Creative Problem-Solving in Action
The production required a courthouse or courtroom backdrop, but local construction made that option unavailable. The production company found a creative alternative: the lobby of a hotel ballroom. Its dark wood finishes and elegant design created the perfect dramatic setting. With careful lighting and attention to detail, I transformed the space to meet the client’s vision.
For the interviews, I positioned a laptop at the ideal eye-line so the interviewees appeared to be speaking directly to someone in the room. It’s these thoughtful touches that make a remote shoot feel personal and natural.
Delivering Results
After the interviews wrapped, I provided the raw camera files to the production team, ensuring they had everything needed for post-production. The success of this project highlights my ability to take on broadcast-level work, handling every aspect with professionalism and precision.
