Original Article
Teen Beach Movie 2 premieres tonight on the Disney Channel
Its a kid friendly surf musical
I shot the original and this sequel in Puerto Rico
This is how Disney publicity shows it
And maybe an interview ‘ behind the scenes ‘
That is where we live and work – no publicity here. Just ask SuJeng.
Luna pushes a fully dressed Alexa in the sand
Is not always a day at the beach
Our ‘ favorite ‘ combination -sand and saltwater
Carlitos knows it. He’s barefoot
Thats why PJ Gaffers in San Juan
If you rent out cameras in the Caribbean, you know that one thing is certain
The tripods are going into the sand and the surf will try to find a way to get you wet
The trick is to keep the cameras OUT of the sand and surf
The crews in San Juan trust their 3iSpreaders
And finish their days at the beach
Safe from the salt and sand. Get wet and stay dry. Trust a 3iSpreader to make your day
Thank you for joining us for Part 1 of Teen Beach Movie 2, tune in next week for the conclusion.

Shane Likes the 3iSpreader. Quick and Dependable. NO SPIKES, NO BUNGEES, NO SANDBAGS, NO HASSLES.
We Scramble up hills and overpasses to get the shots
Bill gives it a thumbs up, director approved!

Mark Irwin CSC/ASC is shooting THE LAYOVER in Vancouver with director William H. Macy. It is a ‘road’ picture with two girls ( Alexandra Daddario and Kate Upton ) who get way laid on their vacation flight and end up in St. Louis instead of Florida. They decide to make the most of their time and try a hot air balloon ride with a fellow passenger ( Matt Barr ).
We shot at Boundary Bay Beach with a basket, gas burner and a crane ( CGI ballon to match the real one in the real St. Louis ). After the launch, we put our two Arri Alexas on a platform that was 25 feet in the air and shot coverage of the actors ‘ in flight’.
With real wind rattling the plywood deck and weight at a minimum, the 3iSpreaders on each tripod made the day’s work safe and secure. No piles of sandbags, no flimsy bungee cords, no fear of an accidental disconnection. The crew just grabbed the sticks, put them on the hairy edge of the scaffold and, when we wrapped, folded them up with the 3iSpreader securely folded up inside.
Unlike the unhappy paparazzi ( BTW the big guy is the one who clipped Ryan Reynolds in a parking garage.
