I'm certainly not an authority on the varicam (only been on a few shoots with it), but from my understanding - the camera is always recording 60fps and recording sound.
For 25fps playback - the audio is engaged/accessable
for 50 fps playback (frame-…
Nooooooo! that type of dust seems eerily familiar - I should throw up a few shots I took for insurance on Australia. (we were hit by a massive Dust storm on our last day in Kununurra)
hey rainier - that combo should easily fit into a kit 4
I bought my schoeps back in January and it fits into a kit 3 (very nicely with the CUT1, but not a swivel and CUT 1)
cheers
P.S. if anyone has any "hoops" for a rycote, I'm looking to get a fe…
it get's even worse on the west coast.
they hate people from Sydney, Melbourne - AND Queensland... :)
my limited understanding of the QLD/NSW situation was that it's not EXCLUSIONARY (as in, anyone can work here in QLD) - but with the additional r…
Hello Ian,
Thank you for your kind comments on the articles. I will add more as I find time. The only subject that is 'off-limits' is intermodulation. Have been trying to explain those for years, with a very poor batting average ;-). Judging by some reality shows I work on, even 'experts' don't comprehend them. Worked with two RF gurus from overseas who both gave me blank expressions when I pointed out their glaring errors. So I've given up on that subject! Think I should write on something easier, like teaching Zambian natives how to fly the Concorde Jetliner ;-)
Let me know if you have any suggestions for articles...
nice one on the massage course.
ive been working with stu and boom andy duncan the past 2 months or so on all saints, its been going well. thats quite funny about the gear, if you see him again soon tell him i said hello.
That is a top photo! That was in Encore/IF magazine a while back, I wanted to know who was crewing that film as I reckon its going to do good work at the box office. I met Warrick in December as he shot a short film called 'The Farm' Aron and I worked on. He seemed to be a pretty good guy.
I just picked up another short today for week! Yay! The money isn't great! Boo! But it will do. Hopefully Aron isn't busy. I have just watched may equipment rate go down and down and down. Least I don't owe any money on it. That is a relief. Do you work much with Guntis up that way?
Work has been up and down, you know flat out one week and then two weeks with nothing. Did a low budget feature late last year with Aron, and then pretty much had a good run with three paid short in a row. Lots of little jobs as well, one day adds and some interesting doco work with INXS in the studio, wish there was some more of that, good pay and nice people. Things have been tragic since Easter but, got a one day add on Monday and thats it. I just hate being so bored. Also been thinking about going back to the Bottle shop to earn some cash, but I just can't do it. I reckon you have got on to a good thing with massage, that is a growing market compared to the film industry which is a contracting one. Lots of grumpy old people needing to get their bits rubbed! You should think of opening a chain of shopping Mall Massage shops, they get about $70 an hour.
