Production Camera Operator
The World Games 2022
The International Sports Broadcasting Company hired many positions for The World Games 2022 in Birmingham, Alabama and I was hired as a camera operator. During the nine days I worked I covered Breaking, Inline Hockey, Artistic Skating. and Beach Handball. Production trucks were set up outside every venue with all the production equipment. I helped setup and break down cameras at each location. This experience taught me how to properly set up a box lens camera and learn other terminology I will need to know in this field. The broadcast of the sports were aired on The Olympics.com.
Breaking is a Dance Sport coming to Paris 2024 but it was at The World Games first. I worked camera one covering both dancers in my shot and any wide shots the director asked for.
Inline Hockey is similar to hockey but not played on ice and the players use roller skates. I worked camera five getting the tights shots of players as they were playing and players in the penalty box or players coming to their benches. This was a handheld camera on a tripod without arms resulting in me having to work it by bending over the camera to use the zoom and focus.
Artistic Skating is similar to figure skating but the skaters wear roller skates. Individuals and couples competed in this. I worked camera one shooting the skaters whole body and some close shots as they passed me.
Beach Handball is handball but on sand. I worked the game camera for this sport panning side to side to keep the goals in the shot while operating a box lens. To get to the platform of this camera I had to climb a 16 step ladder attached to it.
Click to watch the TikTok I made about The World Games. I made this minute video by editing all the videos I shot on my Snapchat. It incorporates all the work and equipment in a fun way!
