On set in Groveland, Massachusetts, we were treated to a classic, all-American diner that needed very little set design. It even came with the classic, 45-flipping jukebox that was written in the script. A few lights and some neutral density on the windows, and we had a superb set ready for Brian Evans and Jim Rice walk right on camera. It was an impressive sight for the locals that came to look on.

When Jim Rice entered moments later, he had an aura about him that snapped up everyone’s attention. He’s a real down-to-earth guy for a baseball legend, and was chatting up the locals about his days with the Sox. He and Brian hit it off right away and that camaraderie really came across on camera.

Shot on the Sony F3 with prime Nikon lenses, the video came out crystal clear. We made great use of our Indy Dolly to add some dynamic as well. When it came to editing, it was a shame that we were limited to only 30 seconds because there was tons of real sharp footage left on the cutting room floor, but no one can argue that the end result was exceptional!
