My First OSS Trip
by Devin • February 21, 2012 • 0 Comments

I shot this photo of Garrett Reeves in June of 2009 in Brooklyn, NY on my first OSS filming trip. Adam was working on a OSS DVD project, which at the time was going to be a shorter promo video, but later developed into the full length Football DVD. At this time nothing had been publicly announced about OSS, and he asked if I would be interested in filming some stuff for the video. I was psyched to be involved and we planned a visit to coincide when Mike Taylor and Garrett Reeves would be in town. Mike arrived in NYC the same day I did, and Garrett had been crashing on Adam’s couch for the previous couple of weeks.
The first day or two went well with Garrett, Mike and I all logging some footage for the video, but soon the weather in New York just would not cooperate. Rain kept us inside for a couple of days, and we killed time by watching nearly every episode of The Office on DVD. The outlook for the rest of the week was more of the same, and somehow we came up with the idea of venturing to Toronto where the weather was expected to be better. We headed out in Garrett’s van and met up with Craig Passero and Chris Zep in Buffalo, and from there all of us went on to Canada which fortunately proved to be dry and sunny. My original plans were to stay for 3 or 4 days in Brooklyn, but by the time I was back home in Massachusetts it was more like an awesome week and a half out of town.
