Today was a gorgeous NC fall day so I posse’d up with some friends and rode some bikes in my friend Brad’s backyard dirt jumps. FUN TIMES!

Recently I worked with K2 productions and PACE communications on a series of Verizon Wireless web spots with comedian Kevin Hart. Check out some pics after the jump:
“Hey Michael, you available for a shoot next week? We’ll have 2 guys in a car so it might be going out of range for your wireless at camera, can you handle something like this? There will be a GoPro camera in the car as well.” Thats the email I get. My job is all about problem solving and as I’m reading the email ideas are already flowing. My solution flows like a river in a quick reply all, signed, “lets rock and roll!”. And rock and roll we did!

This past week was full of interesting characters to put microphones on.
First up: Vice President Joe Biden
A stop in NC on his political campaign got him mic’d up with one of my zaxcom transmitters.
Next up: Dan Ariely
The job was a corporate video, I don’t remember the exact details but I can tell you that this dude is cool. Very interesting cat. He’s a professor at Duke University covering psychology and behavioral economics. Basically he studies lying and cheating and why we do it. All kinds of cool experiments. He’s done some TED talks that have had a looooot of views. By far the most interesting dude to get mic’d up this week. Check him out.
And finally, we have: Billy Burke
Billy is mostly well known for his role in the teeny vampire heart throb Twilight Saga. But he’s now starring in the new NBC show REVOLUTION. The job was an EPK(electronic press kit, or promo video if you will) for NBC on the set of the show, which is shooting in the Wilmington, NC area. Check out the extended web trailer for the show, looks to be interesting!
Its not very often I get the chance to pair up with a fellow soundie, but over the past few months I’ve been bumping into some cool dudes.
Here’s Brooks Lester and myself working on a sizzle for a UK show. And we both have Nomads!
Christopher Brown and myself running in to each other while working for different clients at Charlotte Speedway.
Myself and Charlie Macarone out of NJ working on Baggage Battles for Travel Channel
Dan Brooks and myself working on WE tv’s Mary Mary in Charlotte
Once again I’ve somehow managed to get my bearded mug onto local teevee. Last time it was with the ESPN crew while shooting ESPNu’s roadtrip in Blacksburg, VA. This time while shooting the travel channel show Food Paradise, good friend and awesome DP Jason Dowdle of Blue Sky films and myself were captured while we did our thing down in Greenville, SC.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Honda Aircraft Company for the past 2 years on various jobs. But one job that always stands out is when they fly a jet for the first time. This video is the first flight of FAA conforming version 4 of the HondaJet. And wow, what a beauty!
