At Will goes international...Again. Now that we can let the cat out of the bag. This was the biggest year for tennis for At Will Productions yet. Although Joe Schmitt didn't get to take his usual place on camera 4 for the Family Circle Tournament (four years running) he stayed busy organizing two matching HD Cameras to cover interviews and challenges with some of this years biggest tennis stars including Venus Williams. These challenges were used for a series on the web called Sony Ericsson WTA Tour Hero Challenges.Big Kid Productions of London hired Schmitt to operate the B-Cam to gather wide shots from a 15 foot ladder and other b-roll of players and challengers. At Will was also in charge of coordinating P2 file transfers to a bank of Mac laptops.
Who would be crazy enough to challenge Venus Williams? It took an entire football team, and it wasn't pretty. Venus, who has the fastest serve in female tennis, systematically picked off these football players like shooting fish in a barrel.
Other challenges include Caroline Wozniacki taking on two tennis coaches with noooo problem. You can also watchElena Dementieva test the accuracy of her deadly serve.
