Dan Foard was part of the crew from Tampa Digital that provided the EXCELLENT live video streaming from the ABRA/H1 Unlimited final race in Doha, Qatar. Dan spent seven days in Qatar and ran the hand-held cameras during interviews and fixed cameras during qualifications and racing. Click the image at left to watch the unbelieveable final heat and check out Tampa Digital’s website for videos from rest of the weekend, including Jeff Bernard’s flip in the first running of the final heat and Steve David’s amazing blowover in Heat 4A.

Dan Foard shot and produced this introduction for the Statment Marine website using the GoPro Hero camera – particularly amazing is the “propcam” – a GoPro double-stick taped to the transom which stayed attached and brought back some very unique footage of the outdrives during this 100+ MPH race in the Atlantic Ocean!

We’re pleased to announce that Dan Foard has joined the staff of NW Speedshots. Dan is an Emmy Award winning videographer currently living in Largo, Florida, with regular clients that include ESPN, ESPN Regional Television, Fox Sports Net, Comcast Sports Net, ABC Sports, LDM Worldwide, Focused TV, Wheeler TV, VS (formerly OLN), and Lincoln Financial Group. With more than twenty years in the broadcast industry ranging from the Sky Surfing Pro Tour for ESPN X-Games to World SWAT Competitions on FSN to capturing incredible onboard images for the past three years during the Unlimited Hydroplane races for the American Boat Racing Association (ABRA) on FSN, his love for his craft translates into breathtaking imagery that thrills an audience. Dan brings technical expertise to the art of motorsports videography that very few can match. His ability to “see” the shot and place the camera to get it is unparalleled. Using his natural enthusiasm and curiosity along with a variety of very small video cameras allows us to see things as never before, guaranteeing amazing viewpoints and adding tremendously to our understanding and fascination with the motorsports we cover.
