Working the week leading up to the Super Bowl is always cool.  But, it’s even cooler when the client is Nickelodeon.  Why?  SLIME! That’s why.  Yes, I’m talking about the green, gooey stuff that used to drop on contestants of various game shows on the...

I love it when I get the chance to work with other Go To Team crews.  Life is just a little easier. I was fortunate enough to team up with Dallas cameraman, Nate Galluppi for HBO’s Real Sports. For the shoot, we shot on the Canon...

Recently I made the trip down to Lockhart, Texas for the Dr. Oz Show.  Lockhart is known for their amazingly tasty barbecue.  I had never been there before so I was pretty excited to check out what real Texas BBQ is all about. [caption id="attachment_23447" align="alignleft"...
