How has this NYC Jib Op never heard of this place?! I get that Rock Lititz is far from home, but it’s such an amazing campus and place to work. Rock Lititz is a massive production facility with several arena sized spaces geared towards touring acts to tech their shows. I’ve been jibbing a show that would typically have me having a Jimmy Jib in NYC’s Beacon Theater for a live awards event. Instead, the entire show is a hybrid virtual event against a massive video wall. Somehow it’s been cheaper for production to rent this massive facility for 2 weeks than to actually do this project in a theater. Rock Lititz has been amazing! The hotel on campus is wonderful, there’s a huge gym with a bouldering wall, a brewery on site, and the area has a number of attractions. Take this NYC Jib Operator out of New York anytime and take me right back here!!

Earlier this fall I had a fun shoot covering detail shots of an enormous research wave pool in NJ. This NYC Jib op went a little ways from home base down to the shore areas. The client wanted to load my 30’ Jimmy Jib Triangle with a Sony FX9/Cabrio 19-90 + a Canon 7D with wide lens. What a camera build! We wound attaching the 7D to a very strong noga arm to a top cheese plate on the FX9. The client periodically snapped stills using the 7Ds wifi as I was swinging around the wave pool. It worked perfectly!
