Go To Team Annual Shareholders Meeting

The big wigs at Go To Team got together for the Annual Shareholders Meeting and headed off to a plush five star spa and resort... well, not exactly. We headed to Pisgah National Forest, near Asheville, NC, and hiked in 2 miles to a pretty cool waterfall. Of course, the Shareholders consist of Skip Clark and Patrick Bryant, but we're growing so next year the "retreat" might get even bigger.

We used the trip and the time to discuss the future of Go To Team. We especially discussed our terrific clients, and the Go To Team staff members that we have to do everything to keep! These guys (and girl) are the life blood of the Go To Team attitude... "Do Whatever is Takes". They work hard on every shoot to provide the best quality footage. If you know or work with one of our DPs you know what I'm talking about. They are truly committed to Making Cool TV.

We also, had some real fun. Pictured here is the beverages from cocktail hour (Two frosted 7 and Gingers straight from the stream). We hiked from the head of Club Gap Trail along Avery Creek to the Waterfall and set-up the campsite within view of the waterfall. Skip invited along his red headed girl friend (sorry ladies he's spoken for), Maggie.

Baker Crew "Gets Axed" by Modern Marvels

Recently, GTT's Charlotte Based Baker crew once again "made the cut" with Modern Marvels. Starting at the Council Tool's Forge in Lake Waccamaw, NC, the Baker Crew tracked the
creation of Fireman's axes from their humble beginnings as unformed steel, to the drop-forged, razor sharp, iconic realization, embodied in their finished state. It was hot, it was dirty, and it was loud, but the Varicam once again proved its.....mettle?.....

Having seen the Modern segment of this particular marvel, the Baker crew headed to the Schiele Museum in Gastonia, NC to meet up with Prehistorian Steve Watts, to learn how the first generation of lumberjacks crafted their tools from scratch. After seeing him work his craft and share his knowledge of prehistoric tool building, the crew decided that Steve Watts needs to be cloned and put out on the market as the ultimate survival tool. Producer Steve Gurgen really knows how to find an expert! The Baker crew would like to thank the both of them for one of the most interesting and informative shoots ever.

We would also like to thank Steve Watts for making the

best coffee ever shared over the creation of a stone axe.

Wells Crew takes to the air for Discovery Channel

Charleston based Director of Photography Tom Wells and Nick Modisett took to the air by helicoptor Saturday for a new upcoming program on Discovery Channel. The Go To Team crew's mission was to shoot the YAUST, the world's largest Car Carrier, while still out at sea. The crew utilized a Tyler Mount rigged with a CineAlta F900, shooting 1080P at 25 fps. Tom shot on the Tyler Mount from the back seat while Nick rode up front, acting as a second set of eyes with a 9 inch HD monitor and helped communicate the shot list to the pilot. While in the helicoptor the crew was in communication with both the ship's captain and their client in New York simultaniously by both phone and email, allowing seamless coordination between everyone involved. Because of the great weather the crew was able to get up close and personal with the ship on more than one occasion, as you can see in the video below.
