THE FESTIVAL OF GENOMICS AND BIODATA

ROLE: Camera Operator
CLIENT: Frontline Genomics
AGENCY: Created By DK
FORMAT: Event Production

BRIEF: FoG is a large-scale professional conference drawing researchers, clinicians, and industry leaders to the Boston Convention & Expo Center. CBDK brought me on to cover the event — keynotes, panels, and b-roll across a full day of programming.

PRODUCTION: Five stages running simultaneously, crowds constantly moving, panelists rotating throughout the day. Nothing about the event held still long enough to plan around, so everything was shot on instinct with a gimbal to stay fluid and keep up with the energy of the floor. Beyond the brief, I set up time lapses of the space on my own initiative — they weren't asked for, but they landed well and made it into the final cut.
