When the No. 1 News web site in San Diego called for an assist with two disastrous and deadly wildfires on a Sunday, BayNewsVideo responded.

See SignOnSanDiego.com. Our experienced, fire savvy chief videographer covered nearly 300 miles of terrain to bring site visitors footage of the Harris and Witch fires.

The digital film was acquired in DV, edited in Final Cut Pro, and updates were provided to the site throughout the critical early morning hours when the Witch blaze was cutting a wide swath of destruction and forcing evacuations of entire communities. A sample is available here in the FLV format.
