Heroes Among Us

We just wrapped four days of HD Cam (Sony FP900) shoots for Associated Television Inc of LA. They were in the Bay Area for three segments for their show “Heroes Among Us” which spotlights normal folks who do heroic deeds.

First shoot was in Los Gatos for a story on people who rescue and rehabilitate dogs that have been saved from fighting operations. One of the dogs we featured was a Pit Bull that went from fighting to now being a therapy dog!

Second shoot was the story of Todd Endris and how he got munched by a shark in the waters off Monterey CA and lived to tell about (and go back in the water surfing) because of the heroic actions of friends and other surfers as well as dolphins in the water who scared off the shark.

Hero – Lodi CA

Wrapped on an HD shoot for Associated Television Inter. out in Lodi CA. The segment is about a Lodi man who risked his life to pull a disabled lady from in front of an oncoming train after she had fallen when her chair hit a rut in the RR crossing. We shot the piece on the Sony F900 HD Camera. It will be posted in LA.

Here is more on this story:

A Northern California man is being hailed a hero after he saved a wheelchair-bound elderly woman, stuck on the tracks, from being struck by an on-coming train.

Samuel Huffman, 20, was driving Saturday night when he noticed Marguerite Jones, 82, lying on Union Pacific Railroad tracks at Locust Street in Lodi, officials said.

Jones said she was crossing the tracks when her motorized wheelchair tipped over, causing her to fall off.

Huffman pulled Jones from the tracks just seconds before the train roared by.
