Excited to be working at ION TV Clearwater today on my 46th birthday! What an awesome studio, and who knew ION was right here in Pinellas County?
Waiting for talent…
The truly impressive mission control room.

Starlyf Copper Pan @ Epicurean Theatre.
Food infomercial shoots are the best! Always great leftovers. The Epicurean Theatre is located on Howard Ave. in gorgeous Hyde Park Tampa. This venue was built as a culinary classroom, and hosts some major game chefs. I am always excited and thankful to work with new production companies, and Surging Media has made me feel right at home in our first shoot together.
Production crew here early and hard at work.
Medi-Weightloss Hyde Park Home
A lovely home in Hyde Park Tampa hosted today’s video shoot for Medi-Weightloss. Just blocks from Bayshore Blvd and downtown Tampa. Space was limited and the crew was full so it made things a bit difficult, but everything was a success. Here’s a picture I took from the only spot I found available in the room…
Forbes Wears Lola Jeans
On the set again today of Forbes Riley’s “Forbes Living”. She is the infomercial Queen, and today she is trying on Lola Jeans!

Jackie Evancho- Vocal Prodigy
To say that Jackie Evancho has a beautiful voice at her age is an understatement. But sometimes the artist even needs a little backup plan when it comes to remembering lyrics that someone else wrote. I projected just a small confidence monitor to front of stage. Things went well. Jackie is a great artist to work with, and Ruth Eckerd Hall is a great Clearwater, Florida venue.
Tampa Life
Today I spent a few hours on the 8th floor of 501 Kennedy Blvd at FL Legal Group’s main office in gorgeous downtown Tampa. We interviewed 6 lawyers for content for their website. Thank you to Andrew Lee at Roundhouse Creative for the last minute call!
LIMU Video En Espanol!
I joke that the only Spanish I know is “menu Spanish”, because of my love for good Cuban and Spanish food. Roll your R’s and stretch your tongue if you want to speak this language properly! But one of the more challenging parts of this shoot was keeping up with the script in a language that I don’t speak, especially with a well spoken, Cuban born talent like Freddy Melero. No worries. Being born and raised in Florida has helped me pick up at least the inflections of the language enough to do the job properly- just don’t ask me to scroll a Russian, Chinese, Japanese or Thai script.
Oooh Yeah Brother!
The Hulk knows muscle. I know teleprompting. When CMT’s Hulk Hogan’s Celebrity Wrestling decided to shoot promo clips for the show here in sunny Tampa, Hulk called in his favorite prompter to help him through the scripts. One of the best parts of this job is creating a sometimes brief relationship with wrestlers, actors, politicians and the like. I wonder who I’ll work with next.Rapido- Beat, Mix, Whip and Pulse!
Jeremy Parker is the jovial spokesman for the Rapido– a fun blender styled kitchen tool that does everything in the kitchen! Shooting in PAL format today since this will be aired in Europe. My TelePrompTer is mounted in the Sony PMW F3 today, and is reflecting script loud and clear.
