The 2010 Clinton Christmas Parade

We received a last minute call from Annie at the Addicted Jeans Store on Main Street, Clinton around 12:30 pm Friday afternoon to video tape her mother in the Clinton Christmas parade at 6pm. Her mom, Mary, has been Santa's elf in the parade since 1987 when the parades began and she wanted a video of her mom riding on Santa's AND a video of the parade itself. Tracy and I covered the parade, her mom putting on makeup and getting dressed and all the characters getting ready at the nearby Presbyterian church... lots of " people getting ready" in the video, plus Saint Ann's of Hampton Bagpipers warming up...it was a wonderful night to be out with a camera.

Hunterdon Half Triathlon Feature COMPLETED

Round Valley reservoir was the site of this Half Iron distance Triathlon. It's a beautiful lake and we shot a lot of great scenic shots which were used in the scenic open of the film.

The race was staged by Mike Nusbaum and his paceracing.org and NJMultisport race event companies.

We also expanded the use of our HD Hero camera, mounting it on the top of a long pruning pole to get the tree shots around the transition area. We had one of the swimmers wear it for the beginning of the swim and we also placed it on a bicycle helmet as well. It was a very long day and quite a different vibe from the Olympic distance triathlon we shot in Oxford NJ the previous month...in the longer races, the athletes spread out a lot more and makes it harder to cover with just two cameras. Next year, we go to three cameras, the HD hero, an assistant and a motorcyclist for the road shots instead of our fat van.
