Go To Team covers the country for NBC’s “the Last
Mile” Election Coverage |
| |
 In
the 16 days leading up to Election Day Go To Team's five video
crews traveled daily, shooting in 28 cities and producing
over 50 live shots.
Working with MSNBC Anchors Ashleigh Banfield, Chris Jansing,
and Gregg Jarrett, the crews were shooting from 4AM to 4PM
then traveled to their next location. Following the candidates
meant crossing the country several times. In the first three
days A & B Crews were in Little Rock, AK, Nashville, TN,
and Davenport, IA. All five crews ended up in Nashville, TN
or Austin, TX for election night coverage.
"It
seemed more like a Rock n Roll tour than news coverage. However,
at every new location we asked ourselves what can we do to
make today's live shots fresh?" said Cameraman Dwaine
Scott.
In addition, to their standard ENG packages (consisting of
Sony D600's), Go To Team used several Sony PC100 mini DV cameras,
Robo Camera, and a pencil camera, to add life to the same
old live shots. For several shots in Austin, TX they used
an 80-foot scissor lift.
However, the story doesn't end there… the Thursday after
the election Go To Team turned its resources to the Election
recount.
Operations manager Patrick Bryant, "Our crews quickly
reloaded and headed out for Florida and Texas. And, shortly
after arriving they bought a Christmas tree."
