Black friday is a big day for the TV news industry. It’s a day that really sets the tone for the upcoming retail holiday season. Which in turn is an economic indicator,that gauges where the US economy is in regards to the consumer. All that being said there is great interest from many news organizations throughout the country and Canada. NBC hired Motion Inc., to do live shots at a mall outside Chicago, in Oak Brook, Il.. to help tell the story to the viewer. Below is a shot with reporter Kristen Dahlgren, for “The Today Show”.

I had Kristen walk torwards the camera, covering about 50 feet, navigating her way through the crowd in an attempt to show the viewer the shoppers were out in full force. It takes a 4 person crew to pull off a shot like this. Reporter(talent), producer(coordination), cameraman(visual, audio), satellite truck operator (technical). Every story you work with a different crew,. this particular day,  I was lucky to work with the best.
