Wednesday night, my phone rang.
By Sunday, I was filming Kevin Durant for Nike Basketball.
Nike Basketball had made a last-minute decision to bring Kevin Durant to Hoopfest in Spokane to generate some buzzy headlines for the launch of the KD10 shoe.
Their production partner was already booked.
Could I get there and handle it solo?
Thursday, I gathered my gear.
Friday, I flew to Spokane.
Saturday, I captured the tournament, crowds, basketball, and Nike atmosphere.
Sunday, KD arrived.
I had one shot to capture everything I needed while following him through Hoopfest, shooting around with young players, judging the dunk contest, and getting mobbed by fans.
Then he left.
I HAD AN HOUR.
Nike wanted the finished story edited and ready for Instagram almost immediately.
No crew. No post team. Just me, my cameras, and my laptop.
SHOT. EDITED. DELIVERED.
KD & ME!
