Looks very nice and it's a cool idea.
There so much work in this business if you want to find it.

Thanks Doug, I totally agree. If your good, sooner or later the work finds you.

I would love to have a vid like this if i was a kid attending a camp.

Really good work for such short turnaround too, keep it up.

Thank you Martin.

Just wrapped up Week 8 of both the girls and boys camps. Total of 16 highlights in 8 week. 16 days of filming, 8 All nighters, and literally 1,000 kids asking me how expensive my camera is.

Here is week 8 for the boys camp. Some fun footage at the infamous action park waterpark (mountain creek) in NJ:

Great stuff. I bet everybody loves it. Is it just you running around with all of this gear?

Someone on the camp side goes around with me to different activities. In the camp they have John Deer Gators that we can move around with. I find it easiest to generally work out of the back of that as a micro production van. Steadicam is already balanced so instead of docking it, I'll just lay it down and I'll do some small adjustments on the fly. Also pack an ice cold water bladder and lots of sunscreen.

I'm at it again this summer at two camps. That's 8 weeks, 16 videos and a lot of all night editing sessions. The hardest is when I'm filming the whole day out in the sun and then have to do an all night edit...wrapping up at around noon the next day. On those days, around 4am my body and mind are really hurting.

This year I'm shooting with anything from the FS7, 5D IV, GoPro Hero 6 and Mavic Pro. Also Keep in mind that some of the footage is shot by people in the camp on iphones to supplement the days i'm not in camp.

That being said, we are already 6 weeks in. Here is the latest installment. Enjoy!

why such insanely fast turnarounds? yikes. kudos for getting it done but that's not healthy!

As usual, great stuff Egg! These types of edits take a lot out of you. You are working in a really quick turnaround situation with the number of these you have to do. I hope your compensation is reflective of the amazing product you are creating.

The drone shots really elevate the edit. I wish I had more of a use for one so I could justify a purchase. Thanks for sharing.
