Martin, it’s the high end plus more on all those items, trust! These guys don’t do the show btw, they are a production company out of Chicago that does the high end promo’s and commercials for the show. Class act dudes, that will blow your mind when it’s over.

You can tell the difference between the on-boat video and the other stuff. In particular, the fly-overs make Gloucester look simply stunning!
I just love the fact that they are dangling a $45,000 lens over the edge of the boat!

Agreed, the fly over shots are always stunning. That was on the plate for today, but it was cancelled by the chopper pilot.
That 30-300 is a beast of a lens, and yes it’s $45K all day. These dude are pros, that don’t flinch! Hopefully I get to
do some coverage of the big promo shoot next week. Then you will some real gear on that boat.

These guys were shooting “B Roll” on Main Street this afternoon. They said: “Just wait until the big scouting crew gets here!”
