Very proud of the team on Charlie Montoyo: Niño de Oro for winning Best Sports Feature at the 2020 @thecdnacademy Screen Awards. This was a labour of love to share the story of a great man and his wonderful family and their perseverance in the face of adversity. Congrats @georgeskoutakis on the big win, looking forward to celebrating with you once things are safer. Big shout out to @richliani for rocking this one out with me in Puerto Rico. Couldn't have done it without you! Excited to say this was my 9th win since getting into filming Sports in 2013. With all that's going on, I'm grateful to have the moment to appreciate the journey.

A few weeks ago we were filming for @tsn_official

A few weeks ago we were filming for @tsn_official , capturing the Road to the Grey Cup special that airs in the lead up to the Grey Cup. This is my 5th year working on these, and the past few shooting slo motion sidelines coverage. Usually I miss the kick off while switching cameras from a gimbal setup to my Red with an 85-300 on it. This year I pared back and used a @blackmagicnewsofficial Pocket 4k on a @djiglobal Ronin S with @sigmacanada 18-35, which I kept on the sideline and captured this. Probably one of my favourites over the years.

The World Juniors are coming up quickly and designing and filming the 'power pose' set with @craig.chambers for @tsn_official was the last job of the year. Big thank you to my awesome crew, and Chris Pegg at @apexsoundandlight

The tubes were @asteraofficial and on the ice we used an @intellytech Mega Light for the overhead, and an @arri Skypanel 60 through Chimera, Grid for an edgey side light.
The tunnel had an @intellytech LC120 rigged up as a top light

I'm excited to share the Grey Cup tease after it airs. Designing this year's CFL Grey Cup look was a bit of a challenge. Tight budget and not a large space to work with. Luckily for me I had a great team with me, can't thank them enough! @tsn.craig and @holowka

Winner Best Sports Feature - Finding Murph

It's always a great feeling to have work and passion recognized by your peers. Much gratitude and appreciation to all the wonderfully talented story tellers and filmmakers I have the pleasure of working with each year. These awards are more of a moment to reflect on the many moments I hold dear, and the connections and shared experiences that shape me for the moments to come.

Working with Producer/Director Simon Garan (@simongaran ), this was a lot of fun to shoot. The concept changed from when we initially started talking about shooting this. It became more of a last minute pull together once Steve Nash came on board to narrate, but was pretty thrilled to see this opening come together. Simon did a fantastic job bringing this one together on such a time crunch and as always Brent Blanchard did a beautiful job with the edit. We shot this in Simon's mother in laws basement and Simon sourced out all the great 80's gear to give it the look of Steve Nash's childhood. Here are some frames from it.

I've been working with Producer/Director @craig.chambers for years. He was actually the person to give me my shot at TSN, which I am forever grateful for. Working together is always a blast and the Grey Cup in 2017 was no different. We had to figure out a look/concept that we could build in the concourse of the Ottawa Red Blacks Stadium to accommodate the athletes tight schedule. This was my first time using Astera Tubes @asteraofficial but had heard of them through the incredibly talented @jeremy_benning , who is always on the edge of new technology to enhance imagery and emotional connection. Chris Pegg (@frogquest ) who is amazing, was extremely helpful in setting us up for our shoot in Ottawa on a pretty short turnaround. The tubes were a great tool for these sort of setups, and at the time we unfortunately had a limited setup time to get the most of the tubes, I'm pretty thrilled with the outcome. I eventually went on to buy 16 of them for myself and use them all the time. Here are some frame grabs.

Finding Murph CSA Nominated 2019 Best Sports Featu

Finding Murph
CSA Nominated 2019 Best Sports Feature Segment
Produced and Directed by Josh Shiaman
Journalist Rick Westhead
Joe Murphy is a Stanley Cup winning top draft pick who played in the NHL. His life had so many ups and has had continued in the roughest way imaginable. It's tough to say what specifically got him here, living homeless in Kenora, but a series of concussions and opioid abuse is an easy start. We dropped into Winnipeg and started a drive with ex NHL player Trevor Kidd, a great, caring guy, to go find Joe Murphy and try to understand how Joe got to where he is and why. It was important to go in with the right intentions, and treat Joe with the respect he deserved. We didn't know the state he would be in, but it was worse than it had been described. He was very kind and opened his life enough for us to get a glimpse and give us the opportunity to tell his story. Here are some frames from the short feature.

This shoot was as run and gun as it gets, and then later had more time for proper sit down interviews with Joe's sister, ex-wife and daughter. Shot on @reddigitalcinema Red Dragon with @sigmacanada @canoncanada lenses

This started as a shorter feature on Kevin Stevens former NHL player who should've had a Hall of Fame worthy career until a massive injury led to a completely different life. After 3 very long shoot days it was apparent that his story deserved a 22 min version. Produced and Directed by @georgeskoutakis for @sportsnet
Here are some frames from the piece

Shot primarily on a @reddigitalcinema Red Dragon with a set of #leica R Cinemoded primes. Thanks to those who shot pick up interviews and the photos to enhance the piece further.
