Video Services cameraman and Berklee School of Music junior Scott Pierog (right, foreground) films singer DK Ibomeka (left) performing on the Global Stage at Boston’s BeanTown Jazz Festival on Saturday, September 29, 2007. When it comes to music or when he is attending an event, Pierog says he prefers to be an active participant instead of a spectator. “I’m the type of guy who when I’m doing the video I’m part of the event. Same goes for music. I like performing it, rather than listening to it.” The seven-year running festival took place outside on Columbus Street between Burke Street and Massachusetts Avenue and was produced for the second year by Berklee whose festival organizers estimate 70,000 attendees.

Video Services cameraman and Berklee School of Music junior Scott Pierog (at right) prepares another videotape to film at Boston’s BeanTown Jazz Festival on Saturday, September 29, 2007. Pierog, a film scoring major at Berklee, is one of eight cameramen documenting the event and says his video service skills will help him break into the film scoring industry. “This is a backdoor way into the film industry. You know, you can be a cameraman or boom operator. This helps me out in the long run, and it’s better than sitting behind a desk. I like it.” The seven-year running festival took place outside on Columbus Street between Burke Street and Massachusetts Avenue and was produced for the second year by Berklee whose festival organizers estimate 70,000 attendees.

Of the events he films, Pierog informs, “All events are of Berklee events. Everything we shoot is stored at Berklee so students can watch it for educational purposes.” The seven-year running festival took place outside on Columbus Street between Burke Street and Massachusetts Avenue and was produced for the second year by Berklee whose festival organizers estimate 70,000 attendees.
