The "reality" shooter has to be mobile and invisible. Futzing around with lighting, support and/or audio can simply mean missing the shot, and often does. Videographer/editor and longtime Cow leader Grinner Hester demonstrates how to "mod on a budget" in this unique little how-to.
"Specializing in reality, motorsports and documentaries, I have found there are two major drags to turning each shot into a major production in itself," says Grin. "Time, and the fact that you are usually shooting people not used to being in front of the camera. Because life is what is happening as one prepares for a shot, I customized my camera to better suit my needs.
"I drag race, rally race, autocross, drift...and when I'm home, I add performance mods sitting in my own driveway. Hey, nothing goes un-modded around here."
