Switching gears from the Carolina football schedule for Fox, Joe Schmitt, co-owner of At Will Productions was crewed to run a hand-held camera for a soccer match in Columbia against Florida.
Set-up in this stadium is a bit tricky. Carolina spoils crews because the football, basketball and the new baseball arenas are all pre-cabled for tv. Not to mention there is a very steep embankment between the production truck and the stadium. The cable runs aren't long, but they are challenging. Getting hard cameras to the roof requires stair and ladder climbing too. All in a day's work.
Joe Schmitt says "Carolina pays for the football re-play shows. Today we're airing on Sun Sports which doesn't have a preference for the Gamecocks. So I had to constantly tell myself...Florida coverage. But inside, I'm really saying Go Cocks!"
