Tiffen Signs for 2nd Unit Support for 3rd Straight Season
 

We're pleased to announce that Tiffen and Steadicam have elected to support 2nd Unit for the 3rd straight season which allows us to continue to bring quality individuals to our viewers via the web. All we can say is thank you for the continuing confidence corporations like Tiffen, Sony, Adobe, Studio Direct and Steadicam have in us.

Adobe Signs for 2007
 

On the heels of Tiffen's decision, Adobe today entered into a continuing agreement for 2007 with 2nd Unit in San Francisco closing the gap so to speak of the major supporters for the production that have elected to continue their support for a second straight year. The face of production is rapidly changing and we're pleased and proud to be able to continue to bring the best and brightest to you via 2nd Unit TV thanks to corporations like Adobe, Sony, Tiffen, Steadicam and Studio Direct.

NAB Party/Short, Animation or Whatever Competition
 

OK. New post to make sure everyone gets it. The 2nd Annual party for 2nd Unit is at Circus Circus Casino KOA RV Park located at 500 Circus Circus Dr. From the Convention Center, come up Convention Center Drive towards the Las Vegas "Strip" and turn right at Las Vegas Blvd. Go north one street past the Circus Circus Casino and turn left on Circus Circus Dr. The entrance to the park is on the right about 400 yards up. I'll post the space number when we get there Saturday night. Food, drinks and everything else will be provided. Just bring your short, animation, feature or whatever on DVD for airing and judging on the big screen. First, second and third place prizes will be awarded by vote (no you can't vote for your own) this year graciously provided by our sponsors at Apple, Adobe and Tiffen/Steadicam. Yes that means FCP, After Effects and a selection of filters. We've come a long way in a short period of time thanks to everyone in this and the other DVInfo forums so it's our way of saying thanks.

What time?

Loks like 6 but detalils will follow .

Final Info on the 2nd Annual Team 2nd Unit NAB Party
 

OK. Here's the Final Notice. The 2nd Annual Team 2nd Unit Party is set for the venerable 2nd Unit Motor Coach which will be located, throughout NAB, at Circus Circus Casino KOA RV Park. This 5-star RV park is located at 500 Circus Circus Dr. From the Convention Center, come up Convention Center Drive towards the Las Vegas "Strip" and turn right at Las Vegas Blvd. Go north one street past the Circus Circus Casino and turn left on Circus Circus Dr. The entrance to the park is on the right about 400 yards up which means it's only about 1 1/2 mile from the Convention Center just off the Strip. I'll post the space number when we get there Saturday night. Food, drinks and everything else will be provided starting at 6pm and going until whenever. Just bring your short, animation, feature or whatever on DVD or, because we're installing the new Sony BluRay player this wekend, your F350 footage on "The Biscuit" for airing and judging on the new HD big screen. First, second and third place prizes will be awarded by vote (no you can't vote for your own) this year graciously provided by our sponsors at Apple, Adobe and Tiffen/Steadicam. Yes that means FCP, After Effects and a selection of filters. We've come a very long way in a very short period of time thanks to everyone in this and the other DVInfo forums so it's our way of saying thanks. Again, I'll post the space number when we arrive on Saturday and because we'll be there all week, you're all welcomed to stop by any time for a dring, coffee, food or whatever.
