It’s not often that TV shows come to Cape Cod, but when they do, they know who to call for quality cinematography and production assistance. We’ve been honored to work with a diverse selection of international broadcasters in the past month, including the web-based platform Curiosity Stream, Voice of America, and National Geographic.
Curiosity Stream came to Woods Hole for a shoot with WHOI geologist Rob Evans about his recent discovery of a sub-seafloor freshwater reservoir south of Martha’s Vineyard.
In addition to Rob’s interview, he took us on a tour of the engineering lab where the equipment that made this discovery possible was born. We rounded out the day with aerials and establishing shots.
The segment will be part of a larger documentary airing this fall about dwindling fresh water supplies in an increasingly populated and climate-vulnerable world.
Mid-month, we headed down the road to Yarmouth to interview Chuck Camp, a retired Wall Street Journal editor, about his protegé Amanda Bennett, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, former editor of several publications, and the current director of Voice of America.
The interview will be part of a video airing on October 17 at the National Press Club’s “Fourth Estate Award” gala honoring Bennett for lifetime achievement.
With roots in print journalism ourselves, it was a real pleasure to hear about the glory days of newspapers (1970s-80s) and the contributions of trailblazers like Bennett (and mentors like Camp).
At the end of September, our cinematographer Daniel Cojanu joined a National Geographic production team on a shoot in Chatham for The United Sharks of America.
Filming from a boat, fishing piers, and various locations at the Cape Cod National Seashore, the team captured epic shots of seals, late-summer beach scenes, and surfers for a story about the Outer Cape shark phenomenon. To be continued next spring… and airing on Nat Geo in summer 2020!
