Beijing bound: Carthage native to serve as cameraman during Summer Olympics He is confident, though, that his experience freelancing in the past for events like the Kentucky/Tennessee college football game taught him to do what he loves.
“I love being in a field of play and watching games from where the athletes are. It’s intense,” Peters said. He also worked as the director and producer for a minor league baseball team in Lexington, Ky., for a season. While on that job, Peters had to lead the whole production crew and fill in anywhere he was needed, sometimes to his dismay. This taught him that running a camera is what he really enjoys most. “I’m a production guy,” Peters said. “Pre-production is not my thing at all. I just like actually working with a camera and with audio — getting shots and moving on to the next thing.” Working 18-hour days with only a break in the afternoon will give him plenty of opportunities to get substantial camera time. And as one of 55 American students going to Beijing, he is one of a just a few currently assigned to run a camera — a privilege about which he is especially excited. Peters said that his excitement is tinged a little with nervousness, but for good reason. This is his first international trip. The long flights, different culture and 13-hour time difference also have his family slightly anxious. This is especially true for his wife, Jackie, who also just graduated from Asbury with a degree in voice and a minor in ceramic art. Jackie said that even though she does not usually watch a lot of track and field, she will be focused on the events in which her husband is involved. “I’ve watched lots of his work,” Jackie said. “So I’ll be watching for the shots I know are his.”
