We’ve all seen the horrific video footage of the earthquake and tsunami that hit northeast Japan last week. While HD Worldwide Video is not on location in the far east, our hearts go out to those affected by this terrible tragedy. The never ending photos, footage and reports of the disaster just reminds us of the power of video and the media. While a few decades ago news traveled primarily through radio and print, we now are able to witness more closely what is happening in the world outside our neighborhoods, cities and nation. With the power of news stations and the speed and reach of the Internet, more people are able to see real video footage of what is happening in Japan and it is inspiring people to help. The film footage can be devastating to watch, but it’s an important part of our world today and how we can connect with people across an ocean, take steps to help them and make a difference in the lives of those affected by tragedy.

As a reality TV cameraman, we get up close with cake, stars and competitors. HD Worldwide Video is about to start production on a cake show (in conjunction with another Production House). Although any specific production information is confidential I can tell you that Food stars are involved and a large amount of cash is at stake for the winner.
Aside from potentially getting frosting on cameras, being a TV cameraman is fun and rewarding. It is something different every day. As a DP on this job, I’ll probably be working up to 10 – 15 hours a day! But I don’t mind – I love my job! It is hard work but rewarding in many ways.
