6 May – Mid-term elections are coming and with that, comes political spots. Saturday, we shot a spot for Measure G.
Brent set’s up our last shot.

My “jenky” rig – it was a last minute request, so we didn’t have all the right stuff, but we did have enough to make it work. It’s made from four C-stand arms, three Cardellini clamps, a couple of mini Cardellini clamps, some Card-a-links and some ratchet straps. It’s a great shot.

Our actor looks on during rehearsal.

Our client and the farm owner look at some photos of old tractors.

The other location from our shoot. Custa College – the farmer’s daughter learns engine mechanics.

Last shot of the day – Justin directs the tractor driver.

Just before this shoot, I purchased a new digital still camera. I wanted something smaller and lighter than what I was using. I found the Panasonic Lumix LZ2 at Costco for $150! The price is right, but the best part is that it can shoot a photo in 16×9 aspect ratio. Some of the photos above were shot in that mode. Great for location scouts.
