I have just completed a recent assignment for a Canadian drilling company based in Alberta, Canada. My client, Precision Drilling has 4 rigs currently drilling on the western slope of Colorado. Precision was looking for a beautiful calendar shot of one of there rigs along with some working shots around the rig.
This video will give you an insight into how I approach my location shoots and how I work with people on location. I've been shooting annual reports for 24 years, I just love shooting!

I love watching these. This one especially, as you actually had that one section where the camera rolled while you were taking pictures. Unlike say, the jump-cut heavy vids that Chase Jarvis puts out. (Love them, too, but I like the fly on the wall style, too.)
Now you just need to make a video of you negotiating rates with a client....
I've been watching (and reading) since your site was first mentioned on Strobist, and my one comment about this particular post is as follows:
For the love of all that is holy, loose the musak!! Gahh, it's unbearable.
thanks for sharing your thoughts and pics.

Hi David, thanks for your blog and especially for this video. It is amazing to see doing your job. Keep it up with that.
Found you through Strobist. I love these videos! For a amateur shooter as myself the videos are both great inspiration and informative tutorials as well. Bookmarked!
Hi David, I enjoyed the video of the drilling rig shoot. Just curious - do you have to take any precautions with the strobes and triggers when working in potentially explosive environments (ie oil and gas industry)?
Hi Dave, Great work.
There's a typo in the caption of the drilling video: 'ellumination' for illumination.

David, I discovered this video through the Strobist blog. Thanks for sharing! I really like your approach and the results are stunning. Especially the pictures taken with the fisheye are very cool!
hi david - the link ist broken right now - could you be so kind and fix it? thanks!
Jings, David - I found my pulse racing watching this vid. So much to get right, so many variables.
I keep coming back to your site for practical demonstrations of good shooting practices, and I'm always impressed with your "cool".
Many thanks, please post more!
Pat
