OLYMPIC BROADCASTING SERVICE

Anthony is an outstanding cameraman, in 17 years of sports broadcasting he is genuinely one of the most talented operators I have ever worked with. His eye for a shot is superb, as is understanding of the story and the visual elements needed to tell it. He always shoots to edit, offering multiple options to the post production team. More importantly he's a great guy, who makes both interviewees and talent feel comfortable on any shoot.
