With gun control legislation being considered by US law-makers, comedian John OLIVER ventured to Australia to file a series of reports for Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show”. Initially scheduled to be a single 3-min piece, the story soon filled 3 x 3-min segments, and collected an Emmy award along the way.
A fabulous shoot, highlighted by John OLIVER’s quick-wit & take on all things Australian.
Shot over 10-days, with 2 x XDcam ENG cameramen Matthew GORMLY & Peter BEEH, sound recordist, assistant, and production manager. Crew assembled by Sam DOWNS of RMK Crew. Emmy award for best-editing on segment 3/3 “Aftermath”.
And what did the production have to say?
"Yes, I’d say the shoot went extremely well, beyond our expectations! Brennan and John both said “That was THE BEST crew they have ever worked with!!!". They both really enjoyed working with them on every level ...personally and professionally!"
