In 2006 the PGA tour implemented a playoff point system with the year end winner receiving The FedEx Cup.  Hi-Def Pictures was called upon to shoot the promos for this new era in golf.

We employed our Panasonic Varicam fitted with a 35mm film adapter and an Angenieux Optimo 24-290mm lens.  This enabled us to shoot from a long distance with a minimum depth of field.  With a heavy duty tripod, the entire camera weighed in at a whopping 150 pounds.  Combined with Tiger’s huge crowds, it was challenging to make our way around the course.  But because of our knowledge of the game, the course and the players, we were able to find the best spots and get some amazing footage.
