Year 2. We back! 😮‍💨🏀 Clippers opening night at Intuit Dome! Another season of bringing the game to life behind the scenes. Who else missed NBA season? 🔥 #LAClippers #NBA #IntuitDome #SportsProduction #BehindTheScenes

Season 2 in the replay chair. 😮‍💨🏀 Clippers opening night! Here’s my literal POV running replays for the in-house show. Every big bucket deserves another look, especially when you’ve got an entire arena watching. 🔥 Who’s ready for NBA season? #LAClippers #NBA #ReplayOperator #SportsProduction…

They run. I roll. 😭🛼 Trying to keep up with high-performance runners while getting the shot is no joke. The skates help me keep pace AND capture much smoother footage than running with the camera. 🎥💨 You keeping up or getting left behind? 😂 #RunningTikTok #SportsVideography #CameraOperator…

We WILL find you in that crowd. 😭🍌 Bringing this one back for the first Banana Bowl! Good luck to the whole Banana Ball crew! Let’s make history! 🔥 Who’s watching? #BananaBall #SavannahBananas #CameraOperator #SportsProduction #BehindTheScenes

One of my favorite perks of this gig. 😮‍💨 No uniform required, so you know I had to put something on. 😂 Y’all get to wear your own fits to work? #WorkFit #OOTD #WorkStyle #FreelanceLife #FitCheck

Yeah… we can see pretty far. 👀😂 These broadcast lenses are no joke. Did you know cameras could zoom in this far? #CameraOperator #BroadcastCamera #CameraZoom #BehindTheScenes #SportsProduction

Just another day behind the lens. 🎥😮‍💨 Could do this all day. Would you try this job? 👀 #CameraOperator #CameraPOV #BroadcastLife #BehindTheScenes

POV: You’re building a highlight package and enter another dimension. 😮‍💨 Eyes moving everywhere, scanning different angles, finding the best moments, and putting it all together. That replay operator tunnel vision is REAL. 🎥😂 Replay ops, you know the feeling? #ReplayOperator #SportsBroadcasting…

Just gotta keep track of which hand is doing what. 😭🎥 Replay 🤝 PTZ Multitasking is part of the job. #ReplayOperator #PTZCamera #SportsProduction #BroadcastLife #BehindTheScenes

The plays are good. The reactions are even better. 😮‍💨🎥 For my 30-second end-of-game rollout, I’m looking for celebrations, big hits, huge plays, and the reactions that show how much those moments meant. Give me ENERGY to close out the show. 😂🔥 What are you putting in your rollout? #ReplayOperator…

Don’t get so focused on what’s next that you forget what used to feel impossible. Just another day at work now. Crazy to think I used to dream about days like this. 🎥 What’s something in your life right now that you used to dream about?

You hear the broadcast. This is what we hear. 🎧 30 seconds until we’re back live. Different departments. Different instructions. One set of comms keeping the whole production moving. Welcome inside the truck. 🎥 #BroadcastLife #SportsProduction #BehindTheScenes #LiveProduction

You can hear the exact moment things start clicking 😂 I recently started at FOX Sports as an EVS operator. I know replay, but learning a different system means building new habits, finding new hotkeys, and figuring out a whole different workflow. I can do the job. Now I’m putting in the time to…

Put yourself in rooms where you have something to learn. 🎥 First day working EVS at FOX Sports and a reminder to keep chasing the opportunities that challenge you to grow. Stay curious. Keep going. Your next room might change everything. 🤝🏾 #EVS #ReplayOperator #BroadcastLife #SportsProduction…

Always looking for the next moment. 👀🎥 Half the job is knowing what to shoot. The other half is spotting it before anyone else does. #CameraOperator #BroadcastLife #BehindTheScenes #LiveProduction #sportsproduction

Speed means nothing without precision. 🎯🎥 Find the shot. Frame it. Focus it. All within seconds. That’s the fun part of operating live. #CameraOperator #BroadcastLife #BehindTheScenes #LiveProduction #SportsProduction

You learn by doing. 🎥 I’ve walked into plenty of opportunities without having everything figured out. Prepare, stay teachable, and trust yourself enough to try. #Freelancer #CameraOperator #BroadcastLife #KeepLearning #BehindTheScenes

This is my office for the day. A few moments from behind the lens. Wouldn't trade it for anything. #BroadcastLife #CameraOperator #BehindTheScenes #SportsMedia #Freelancer

The setup behind those 360 shots. 👀 Insta360 mounted right onto my gimbal arm while I operate. Definitely one of my favorite BTS setups lately. 🎥 #CameraOperator #Insta360 #GimbalOperator #BehindTheScenes #BroadcastLife

Bro WHERE did his face go?! 😭🎥 This is Amadou, a contortionist performing during Banana Ball. Amazing to watch. Slightly more difficult when your job is keeping his face in frame while he’s bending EVERYWHERE. 😂 #BananaBall #CameraOperator #BehindTheScenes #BroadcastLife #Sportstainment

Camera ops get it. 😮‍💨 Before the show starts, the setup has to feel right. What’s the first thing you’re adjusting? 🎥 #CameraOperator #BroadcastLife #BehindTheScenes #LiveProduction #SportsProduction

Just another normal day at work. 😂 Baseball 🤝 entertainment 🤝 absolute chaos. Never know what the next segment is gonna bring. 🍌🎥 #CameraOperator #BananaBall #BroadcastLife #BehindTheScenes #Sportstainment

When you’re in the zone… 😮‍💨🎥 Everything just starts flowing. Camera ops know. #CameraOperator #BroadcastLife #BehindTheScenes #LiveProduction #SportsMedia

Yeah… I’d do it again. 🎥❤️ New systems. New workflows. New crews. New lessons. No two shows are the same, and that’s exactly why I love this life. #BroadcastLife #LiveProduction #BehindTheScenes #CameraOperator #Freelancer

I’ll do literally anything but answer that email. 😭 Freelancer brain makes zero sense. #Freelancer #CameraOperator #BroadcastLife #BehindTheScenes #Production
