I know it's slightly off-topic but I'm posting this here first because we wound up incorporating many of the comments people from this area of Chris' board made on "2nd Unit" at NAB...and because we're using only a series of 100HDs, our favorite sub-$10k cameras from JVC
As you know, we've been working on the 2nd Unit website for about six months and delayed its debut because of the suggestions the JVC group members made at NAB relative to expanding it into a full-blown ideo webcast site. I'm pleased to announce that "2nd Unit" will be shooting the first in a series of 13 episodes on the 17th, next Saturday, on location at Lite Panels in North Hollywood. 6-time Emmy Award winner and past ASC president George Spiro Dibie and USC Shool of Film Professor Rob Kositchek will be joining Jaime Emmanuelli for a roundtable discussion on video, film and lighting. The webcast, available at www.2nd-Unit.tv after editing on the 21st, like the next 12 in the set of productions, is designed to provide viewers with an education and information on how top industry veterans operate in the hopes that their insights will spark informed discussion among this board's wonderful people and help make their work products even better.
I truly think that DVInfo is a great discussion forum and Chris has done a wonderful job with it. I'm proud to be a small part of it and I hope that by putting "2nd Unit" together, the members of this board will benefit from the insights our guests provide and that those insights will help everyone make better films and videos.
Whomever's in the area, please come down and join us on set to sit in on the shoot, meet these industry greats, perhaps grab some footage of your own and ask these wonderful people your own questions about painting with light. They're there to help. The shoot starts at 10:00am at Lite Panels, 10932 Burbank Blvd in North Hollywood which is just east of Vineland on the south side of Burbank Blvd.
