Why did I become A freelance cameraman?

It all started with one TV show. The show that pulled me in the most was Stringers LA on Tru Tv!

Which at this time is no longer on. I do believe that Tru TV is moving more a-long the lines of made up shows then showing True things that happen. Shows like  "Southern Fried Stings, Operation Repo, All Worked Up" I mean its a joke that they would end a show that shows the men that shoot most of the videos that Tru TV shows on some of there shows. 

Anyways, here is the run down on the show. The show is based around Freelance cameramen in LA, also know as Stringers. They go out and find news story's, film them and then sell them to News Stations.  It shows a side of cameramen that most people don't get to see at all. 

So why did I want to do this? After watching the first show I was hooked. It looked like A big rush, it's almost being like a cop- which I do know that its really not a cop. Some people have said yoIur just getting in there way of working so why do it? People in most towns would not even know what happens at night if it was not for Stringers. This is why I said to myself, I need to do this. I know my town is no LA, but it's a rough little town of about 85,000 people and some crazy stuff happens in this town.  I also found out that at the news stations most cameramen don't work late hours. So that was my key to starting my journey of a Freelance Cameraman "Stringer". 

I started with a old police scanner and a-little Sony Handycam to shoot my videos, I had no idea what I was really getting my-self into, lol.  Now two years later, we run with a few police scanners (new) and some bigger Sony HD cameras. I started off using a Tripod, but grew to not like them. Yes I know some of my videos are all over the place and would be better with a tripod- I have took a lot of sh*t from that.  As the TV show "COPS" also being one of my biggest fav-shows and took after there film crews rules. It's not real- if your not real. Tripods are for people that want to sit still. I'm not that type of person.  

Below is the pilot video that Tru TV picked up. This is not my video!

My Views On The McNugget Crazy Window Killer

A woman in Toledo, Ohio has been indicted for vandalism after going into a rage at a McDonald's drive up window when employees refused to sell her McNuggets because it was breakfast time.

Note: This is not my video, this is from the Associated Press!

My view on this video: OK I really don't understand this video at all. Something tells me something else may have brought this woman to killing a McDonald's drive-thru window. Yes I know it say's she was mad because she could not get McNuggets because it was breakfast time. Really there is a few thing's I don't understand. What time is it? I mean, they stop selling breakfast around 10:00am at most McDonald's. So it must have been before 10am, right? If it is who really eats McNuggest before 10:00am? Which leads me to next set of question . Do we thing maybe she was under the influence? One key thing I seen is when she breaks the window. Is that a beer bottle that she throws at the window?

One final thought on this, no matter what time it is, its not worth paying the fines for breaking a window out. I mean McNuggest are only like $5.00.

One of the worst videos I had to ever shoot! Car vs House

One of the hardest videos I have ever shot for freelance videos. When the call came out I do what I always do. Jump out of bed put some crazy looking pants on a shirt and my shoes and hit the door. Now I'm not a firefighter nor a police officer or EMT worker but yes sometimes I put my life on the line to get the best shot. Sometimes I have to see some of the worst stuff also. Now I know I don't have to do this, no one is forcing  me to do this. This is a hobby of mine. I love to film, film is my life. 

Please watch the video below and I will give you some info below the video.

 

~Mr Hughes a 62 husband and father was pronounced dead at the scene around 3:40 am. He had severe head and chest trauma. This was all brought on by a 19 year old man. The man who took off from police after police tried to stop him for a taillight out hit speeds over 60 miles an hour. He lost control of his car and the car
went airborne, which then the car went inside the home of Mr and Ms Hughes. The car happen to end up on the
bed in the bedroom of Mr and Ms Hughes. As Ms Hughes laid there with a car on top of her for about 3+ hours
she had no idea that her husband had already past. ~

~More Info coming soon of this~

See what happens when you drink coffee.

I mean when I drink coffee I act crazy, but what if your already crazy and then you drink some coffee? Well this is what could happen to you.

OK maybe she is not that crazy, but it never fails for someone to remake or remix this video and well here you go.

 

This almost makes me want to find some big news things and start to remix them. Come on, you almost see the Remix videos before the real videos. This is something that's really not that funny, but its still good to have a little laugh at.

Longest Kick Return Made By Lineman -

 

So during the Packers and the Patriots game Lineman Dan Connolly of the Patriots runs a kick return back for 71 years and gets tackled right near the end-zone. So close to a touchdown, but "WOW" this guy is running his life out. He is just thanking please let me get down the field faster. Which he did, maybe now some Lineman will step up there game and we can see some better football games.

Adam's Christmas Movies

Adam's Top Christmas Movies - In no order!

You guys give up yet?

Or are you thirsty for more?

It is Christmas Time and the McAllister family is preparing for a vacation in Paris, France. But, the youngest in the family named Kevin got into a scuffle with his older brother Buzz and was sent to his room which is on the third floor of his house. Then, the next morning, while the rest of the family were in a rush to make it to the airport on time, they completely forgot about Kevin who now has the house all to himself. Being home alone was fun for Kevin, having a pizza all to himself, jumping on his parents' bed and making a mess. Then, Kevin discovers about 2 burglars, Harry and Marv about to rob his house on Christmas eve. Kevin acts quickly by wiring his own house with makeshift booby traps to stop the burglars and to bring them to justice.

 ~ My view on this must see Christmas time movie ~

How can you go all Christmas with out watching this movie? I mean it's like not taking a bath for a week straight. It is a non stop laughing good time.
