Tony Melfi - Director of Photography
It's the question that you'll hear on every set, every location and every video village no matter where you are; "did you get the shot?". This is where Tony excels, not only will he have the shot he often exceeds expectations with the content he captures. Cutting his teeth in local news then moving on to a national platform at ESPN as a staff DP. Tony honed his craft beyond standard expectations due to the demands of the job. Shooting narriative and documentary, studio environments, live and live to tape, on location stand-ups and reporting - capturing on the field high-light footage as well as tease material or 'art' for MLB, NASCAR, IndyCar, X Games, PGA Golf, Special Olympics and World Games for ESPN, NFL and every conceivable NCAA sport. Tony has seen, and rolled on all of it earning him three National Sports Emmy Awards.
Able to capture the emotive experience inherent in movement, Tony's ability to predict motion and 'see' it before it happens is what sets him apart.
