Kantziper Production Manages shoot for AMC at Dr. Maya Angelou’s home in Winston Salem
American Movie Classics sends DP and Director to NC. 2 HDX900s and a technical crew of 4 provide gear and support.
New gear arrives…Canon EOS 7D
With a sensor about the same size as the RED, the new Canon will be perfect where shallow depth of field is desired.
1080/30P images from this groundbreaking camera have been floating around the web and convinced me to try out this new technology.
New audio gear added…I just couldn’t resist!
On a recent HD shoot for HGTV, I was working with an actress who had a particularly difficult outfit to hide a microphone on and had the opportunity to use a clients Countryman B6 lavalier.The B6 proved to be exactly the right tool for the job and I ordered one for myself the following day. The B6 is only one tenth of an inch in diameter; it is the smallest lav in the world and clearly outperforms mics many times its size!
New Panasonic AG-HVX200″A”…better than 16mm
It is hard to believe, but the HVX200″A” model is only 6dB slower than a late model Sony, full-size, broadcast camera. Even more unbelievable is the fact that at 6dB gain, the HVX is as fast with comparable noise characteristics to the broadcast camera at 0dB. So, add a 35mm adapter to the HVX and you have a device that blows away most cameras on the market today.
Samson H2 Audio Recorder for Transcription
This is a wonderful device that would have cost thousands years ago. It is perfect for audio transcription and would even serve as a usable recording device with better than CD quality stereo sound, a great back-up to a wireless link to camera! I have used it for transcription purposes in the MP3 mode for very small, “e-mailable” files. You can record up to 96khz / 24-bit if you like!
KPSR upgrades small form HD camera to latest model
Sometimes it makes sense to chase the rabbit of technology. In the case of Panasonic’s latest small form camera, the AG-HVX200A, Panasonic has made a few refinements that are very important to working professionals. The most important improvement is in “speed” or light gathering capability. The camera is at least a half stop faster with substantially reduced noise. Late May I will take delivery of the new camera and after some testing will sell the under 1 year old HVX in inventory. Someone will get a great deal when the time comes!
