The "Amazing" Hidden-Camera Proposal
March 4, 2010
That was our San Diego video crew rolling on the surprise, hidden-camera engagement of "The Amazing Race" winners Cheyne Whitney and Meghan Rickey! It happened at dusk last Sunday on a hill overlooking scenic Lake Murray, where the childhood sweethearts grew up. With the HD video crew and yours truly hiding behind a cactus grove, Cheyne brought his blindfolded ladylove to their special place for the surprise -- popping the question and presenting her with a dazzling 1.5-carat Princess cut diamond. After recording the special moments, we emerged from our hiding place to congratulate and interview the newly engaged couple. Our San Diego video production aired on Thursday night's "Entertainment Tonight." Only problem -- I've been pulling cactus needles out of my jeans and boots all week long!

Just wanted to thank you for your steller professionalism last
week during our very trying shoot with Paul and Nora.
I have to say...that of all the shoots I've done....that ranks
in the top 3 of all time difficult shoots I've ever experienced.
As difficult as they were....I feel good about what we shot. Thanks
for all your hard work. Hopefully our next shoot will be much
easier...and they open the door the FIRST TIME.

I've known and hired Kurt for more than 10 years for both broadcast
and corporate projects. Kurt is one of my favorite camera
operators in the country and his team in both Southern California
and the Pacific Northwest are at the top of my list for production
crews! Professional, resourceful, creative and engaged
in making my projects successful are signatures of Solana's
work.
