Greetings from Scotland

Bill Pryor · February 1st, 2003, 04:54 PM

Welcome, Tommy. My wife and I were in Scotland in the late '80's. Beautiful country. We went to Inverness but didn't get a photo of the Loch Ness Monster, darn it.

Frank Granovski · February 1st, 2003, 08:42 PM

There's always the Ogopogo here in BC. I think that the Japanese team has now given up looking for the darn creature.

Bill Pryor · February 2nd, 2003, 08:55 PM

I was driving on an ice and snow covered road around the edge of Lake Okanagan about 2 in the morning in February one time back in the '80's and I think I saw the Ogopogo. Or, it could have been just the reflection from all the empty Labatt's Blue cans in the back seat....

If you would have had Canadian, or Extra Old Stock, you would have seen 'er for sure. Buck-O-Five (Gimli Goose) works even better.

Och Aye The Noo Tommy!!!

Nice to see another fellow British Island Dweller...even if you are on the wrong side of the border...Just Kidding!!! Im from Sunderland so just south of the border.

Its a nice place here...very much glad I found it!!!

Have fun making videos, even if it is hard in our island of lots of rain, but scotlands got some great scenery to film

Hello from Airdrie - sorry to say not the Canadian one but the original one 20 minutes along the M8 from you :-)

Hello, welcome.

I was born in Aberdeen, and moved out here to Canada when I was 10. I no longer have the thick accent though :)

Hello everyone,

I have just purchased my very first DVCAM - a PD150P. It's waiting for me a home, so needless to say I'm like a kid on christmas day!

I've perused this site over the past few days and find it very informative, along with a friendly culture also, which is always welcome.

I'd like to think that next summer I can progress into full time corporate and wedding video production. To this end, I'm considering my mics already.

I plan to keep hold of my 150 for about 12 months or so, then 'move up the ladder'. With this in mind, can someone please recommend a few good wireless (lapel) mics and a better mic for my DVCAM, bearing in mind that I'll probably upgrade next summer.

Any further suggestions would be welcome.

Many thanks and regards,
Neil

Welcome aboard Neil! I can imagine it is Christmas for you already
hehe.. I hope you have fun with your camera! I can't offer you
any sound advice because I don't know this field much. If no-one
responds to your audio question please post that question again
in our dedicated audio forum Now Hear This.

Good luck!

Neil McLean · May 5th, 2003, 02:40 PM

Hi Rob,

Thanks for your encouragement. I've already had a good reponse to one of my questions from Derrik.

I'd didn't really notice the 'Now Hear This' section until after I had posted - thanks all the same!

Cheers,
Neil

Rob Lohman · May 5th, 2003, 03:17 PM

Your welcome! No problem you didn't spotted the forum. That's
what us wranglers are for (among other things).

Ed Smith · May 6th, 2003, 04:11 AM

Welcome to the forum. Hope you enjoy your self here.

I use the EV100 from Sennhieser, although the one I have does not have the lapel mic (I went for the XLR adapter thing) it has given me good reseption, and nice quality. But be aware there are licenses one would need to get if used in certain areas, and on certain frequencys.

All the best, From the south of England,

Ed Smith

Neil McLean · May 7th, 2003, 05:27 AM

Hi Ed,

Thanks for your response.

Do you have any further info in relation to the licensing and freqency issues in the U.K.?

This is something I never evn thought about.

Cheers,
Neil
