There is nothing more exciting for a cameraman than the adrenaline rush of a live cross during prime time TV and that’s one of the reasons I really enjoy it. The fact that every live cross is a technically challenging operation that has to be based on redundancy, accuracy and be aesthetically pleasing to the viewer is something that I never get tired of.
As a cameraman / DOP and my vast technical knowledge around TV technology has given me many opportunities to perform live crosses in and outside of New Zealand.
