Presidio and Valley Proteins – A Corporate Tale with Webstorytellers
Over the past several years, we’ve been working with Webstorytellers, a San Diego-based production company with an emphasis on IT, with major clientele throughout the country. Documentation of this corporate tale began at the head offices of a major rendering operation in the Shenandoah Valley. Tools used were the Panasonic AF100 and GH4 cameras with […]
Tyton BioEnergy – Fuel from Tobacco
Epidemic.Media contacted us in the late summer of 2015 to help them promote a fascinating new venture: to convert acres of productive southern tobacco fields into a rich, viable source of biofuels. We spent the day documenting some of this work undertaken by Tyton BioEnergy with a simple doc single-camera package, from growing to processing […]
AstraZeneca – Cardiometabolic Therapies at UVA
Among our many clients in the scientific and medical fields, AstraZeneca contacted us in 2016 to document their ongoing partnerships with research institutions in the United States… in this case, in our own backyard of Charlottesville, VA. This was a standard two-camera production with interviews and B-roll, field-produced and shot by us and later assembled […]
All about the Z5P with Zenith Firearms
In August of 2015, we worked with Zenith Firearms of Afton, VA to create a pair of armorer videos to thoroughly explain the care and maintenance of their newest roller-lock firearms, the Z5 and Z43. With budget in mind, both were fairly straight-forward two-camera/single operator productions with simple set designs and edits. With nearly 10 […]

CONTENT COPYRIGHT FLOCASTS – POSTED WITH PERMISSION FloWrestling hired McBob.TV to help produce the Virginia portion of this athlete promo for their Olympic-style wresting match slated in November 2014. I met with UVA assistant wrestling coach and top-notch grappler Keith Gavin at UVA’s practice facilities, using a fairly bare-bones camera and lighting setup to showcase Gavin’s […]
Visual Storytelling (2014)
Presented here a small selection of shot sequences from documentary and doc-style commercial projects over the past two years, scenes shot in the moment with no chance of retake. In these sequences, we attempt to evoke emotions and passions of the subjects in their space and situation. All camera work by Kevin McRoberts. All works […]
McBob Interview Reel (2014)
McBob.TV shoots interviews, lots of them, often with high profile personalities with a minimum of time, strict location requirements, minimal or solo crew, and very basic portable professional gear. This reel includes several representative samples of our work in both DP and solo operator capacities. In some samples from dual-system shoots (Rumsfeld, Chertoff), in-camera sync […]
ZQI Ammunition
In December 2013, we worked with ZQI Ammunition to document a function test of their ammunition offerings in a variety of firearms. It was a perfect opportunity to field the Sony FS700 for its high-speed slow motion capability. Donning our ear protection, we gathered up the iron and headed to a local shooting range with presenter […]
American Mothers – Mothers of the Year, 2013
“So we need to shoot a few interviews and have them turned around within about 15 hours.” “Shouldn’t be a problem. How many?” “42.” Normally the kind of job proposal that sends one screaming. The occasion was the American Mothers’ annual Mothers of the Year banquet at New York City’s Ritz-Carlton. These videos were to […]
