<<<Your Osprey doco sounds very interesting. What did you shoot it on?>>>

XL1 with EOS adapter and 100-400 EV lens for much of it and VX2K
for close ups.

<<<What are you posting on?>>>

We take the 1394 output of our DSR40 deck and run that into a MADRAS
transcoder which turns the signal into SDI and then sample it into the avid
at 2:1 (AVR77). From there we'll make Digital Betacam, Beta SP and DVCAM
dubs.

<<<Didn't realize that you were a bird lover. I'm a bird lover here as well! In fact, it's too bad you don't think you'll be able to join us at the DV Expo East,,, we'll definitely be hitting the Peking Duck grill in China Town.>>>

Yes, I do love birds. They are just amazing to me. Can you imagine flying
1000 miles, diving into ice cold sea water, catching a fish and then
jumping up on an ice flow in -20F and eating your sushi like your
camped out on the beach? Truly unbelievable!

Crispy Peking duck with those thin crepes and hoisen sauce is still on my menu however. Double YUM!

Somebody said Peking duck? Mmmmm...
