By technical editor Matt Allard:
Hollywood DOP Shane Hurlbut took time at NAB to talk to me about rigs for news and docu shooting. Hurlbut recently shot the blockbuster ‘Act of Valor’ that follows a group of real Navy Seals on a fictional mission. The film was shot mainly of Canon DSLRs and featured Hurlbut’s trademark handheld style. It was interesting to hear his thoughts about how a good news or documentary rig should be set up.
