'First Camerman' Arun Chaudhary describes being the ultimate fly on the wall in the White House

Imagine being the ultimate fly on the wall inside the White House, attending meetings and observing a President as he goes about his duties.

That's what Arun Chaudhary had the chance to do, and he had unprecedented access to the most powerful man in the world as the first-ever official videographer for the White House.

Chaudhary pioneered President Obama's new media team, and helped change the way we saw and heard our lawmakers.

Chaudhary now has a book, called "First Cameraman: Documenting the Obama Presidency in Real Time," and he explains to Soledad and the "Starting Point" team what it was like to have the historic role.
