MLS Cup - “The Golden Rule”

MLS Cup “The Golden Rule” - Produced for MLS & Apple TV -

Role: Production Manager // Cam Op

Production: As the production manager and camera operator for this high-stakes documentary, I played a pivotal role in managing the largest production of my career. Shot in the iconic "NFL Films" style, the documentary captured every intense moment of the 2023 MLS Cup with over 10 cameras and a full audio team, including two audio operators, a steadicam operator, and a mic'd-up referee. I was responsible for sourcing all gear independently, coordinating with contractors, and ensuring that everything gear related was accounted for.

Using the Sony ecosystem, we deployed Canon 50-1000mm zoom lenses across our three main cameras, with a Red Raptor providing ultra-high frame rate shots for maximum impact. The production involved meticulous planning and real-time problem-solving on set, ensuring that every technical detail was covered so we could focus on capturing the heart of the action.
