A Redrock tutorial showing some of the many ways you can configure the microShouldermount with your camera.

I previously built a tripod car mount, but I was disapointed with the high angle/limited angles I could obtain with it. Also, it wasn't very stable.

So, after some research I came across the Australian Cinesaddle from the makers of Cinekinetic. They are priced at $370. I'm no fool because the cinesaddle is pretty much a beanbag that comes with a "mounting kit" (nylon rope and stirrups). It was very easy to make, and the bill came to around $50.

Disregard the blown out shots as this is just a test.

I shoot the Red Sox for a living in HD. I enjoy working with expensive and state-of-the-art television equipment.

A few people emailed me recently and asked me if I could shoot a video blog of my very expensive HD camera that I use to shoot for the networks at Fenway Park. Well, here you go!

I use a Sony HDC-910 camera head with a 75x (9.5mm to 700mm zoom 1:1.7) Canon HD lens with an optical image stabilizer. The camera head new has a retail price of $94,700.00 and that does not include the viewfinder or the lens! The lens is almost as much! The camera is mounted to a large fluid head on Miller sticks. The fluid head is the Vinten Vector 70 and I would ague that this is the best hard camera pan head ever made.

I brought my PMW-EX1 to work today and during my lunch break, I shot a quick video explaining the camera the best I could. I had a million other things I had to do that day. I did not spend much time on this, but this short little film should answer the questions I was asked.

Keep watching until the end. I got a shot of the moon rising over the right field seats and I think you will like it. I shot this during the game a few days ago and TV color analyst Jerry Remy even stated that it was “the best shot he has ever seen on NESN” (New England Sports Network). Now keep in mind, this shot had nothing to do with baseball or sports for that matter. Go figure.

I see shots like this on the Discovery channel all the time!

The moon shot I added to this video was off a dvd copy of the clip. In crappy standard def. I up-converted it to 720p in Final Cut. I did not have a chance to get a HD version yet.

Email me any questions. My website is tomguilmette.com

A mixed audio/visual documentary on the production of handmade fillm, featuring yours truly (*blush*) and created by Kathryn Postema and Jacob Jensen (posted here with their permission). Jake and Kathryn are students in the School of Communications at Grand Valley State University, and they have produced a wonderful audio project here with an innovative use of sparsely integrated visuals. I am deeply flattered and proud.
