Another day Another shoot for NBC. I have been so busy recently the days just seem to run together. Yesterday we were down at the University of FL covering graduation. It wasn’t a difficult day but what surprised me is that there wasn’t the excitement in the air when I graduated from college and the overall casual dress of most of the graduates. Of course me and the camera man had to wear graduation robes to blend in. There is nothing I love more than wearing a polyester robe in a over crowded old theater. But as days go it was normal 8 hours of driving and shooting. My friends and family are always surprised at the hours we work and what we do but as I tell people we are “Living the Dream” and that is ok with me

As the cameras get cheaper the sound stays the same price
On the job this week I was talking to one of the camera ops who just bought a HVX-200 and owns a DVX-100 too. He asked me if sound gear was getting any cheaper since cameras were comign down in price. My response that audio gear is actually going up in price because of the weak dollar to euro exchange. I also explained whether I am doing sound into a PD-150 or Cine Alta I use the same gear because that is what it takes to get good sound. I also told him that products like the G2 wireless are a great tool but a lectrosonics will always sound better to me. I wished audio gear was cheaing like everyone else but at least it doesn’t become obsolete as fast as cameras.
K-Tek and Customer Service
I just wanted to thank K-tek for there excellent Customer service. I sent one of my poles to them it was delivered this morning, they called me and within an hour of its delivery to let me know it would be fixed and cleaned by tomorrow and on its way back to be. I wish all companies worked as fast as they do.
