Today’s shoot
Shot a guy today who get’s in his Ghostbusters-looking car and drives around San Diego looking for stranded motorists, who he helps. He’s been doing it for 30 years and doesn’t accept payment. He said he’s helped more than 6,000 people. He had quite a few stories to tell. I did a three hour ride along and he helped a person with a flat. Has two shotguns in the back, just in case, along with gas, air compressors, jacks, spare tires, flares, firefighting gear, lights and a bunch of other stuff. The crappy video was shot with a phone. His name is Thomas Weller. Great guy.

What? Are you saying this video isn’t broadcast ready? I used four lights. One bare bulb in garage behind car, one light (big reflector) coming in from left of frame, and a small softbox and another light with huge reflector in front, but to the sides….

I was about to ask if you used a light in the garage. I love the detail there!
