Love's Labor Jam - 10 out of 12 and Counting

Posted By Randy DeFord

It's October 18 and I finished capturing footage of the 10th of 12 tapes. This potion is the performances. The whole approach at the Love's Labor Jam was two cameras. Adam Shephard was stationary at a given side of the stage shooting, mainly, ... Continue reading "Love's Labor Jam - 10 out of 12 and Counting" »

Love's Labor Jam - Sifting

Posted By Randy DeFord

This weekend, I was able to hit the halfway mark, as far as total hours of captured footage. One of the things that struck me the most was the range of poor to great shots we obtained. It's a good exercise in humilty to go back and view something ... Continue reading "Love's Labor Jam - Sifting" »

IBC 2008 - Day oo4

Posted By David Cox

Day #4 - only one short day to go. Conventions always end up being reduced to a core set of topics and buzz words. This year's main talking point is "Stereoscopic". For those that have been out of the galaxy for the last year, this means the ... Continue reading "IBC 2008 - Day oo4" »

IBC 2008 - Day 3

Posted By David Cox

Day 3 at IBC was reasonably productive - lots of back-to-back meetings. It seems that however far apart they get placed, I'm always late for the next one! Red have finally released an SDK so that other developers can support the Red One camera files ... Continue reading "IBC 2008 - Day 3" »

IBC 2008 - Day 2

Posted By Randi Altman

Avid, which was famously absent from NAB this year, is here with a smallish (compared to what they used to do at NAB in the past) booth and hinting that will also be the case at NAB 2009. "It's important for us to be here," said Avid VP/GM Kirk ... Continue reading "IBC 2008 - Day 2" »

IBC 08. Day #2

Posted By David Cox

I'm back from the first full day at the show. Well, I say full day - the truth is that after the gathering I mentioned last night at The Old Bell, my head wasn't quite ready for IBC first thing, or indeed for the first couple of hours it was ... Continue reading "IBC 08. Day #2" »

IBC 08. Day #1

Posted By David Cox

Another year – another IBC. This is at least my twelfth in a row, so there is something wonderfully familiar about it all. The first day of the show is a half day, so since I used it mainly just to drop by and say hello to a few people, there's not ... Continue reading "IBC 08. Day #1" »

IBC 2008

Posted By Randi Altman

It's an hour and a half into IBC 2008 and I am already a bit queasy. It's got nothing to do with the tone of the show at all but has everything to do with a demo I got over at the Iridas booth. Iridas's Patrick Palmer was emphasizing the importance ... Continue reading "IBC 2008" »

Love's Labor Jam - Post Work

Posted By Randy DeFord

All 12 tapes of the Jam have now been sorted. One of the more difficult things with a doc is deciding which memory will not make the grade. It's all part of taking the personal side out and making sure you compile a story that makes the best of the ... Continue reading "Love's Labor Jam - Post Work" »

Love's Labor Jam - Post Work

Posted By Randy DeFord

Earlier this week, you read my partner Adam Shephard's entries about shooting Love's Labor Jam. Now the job begins of cataloging the nearly 12 hours of DVD tapes for content. We did not capture to hard disc, but just to the native Mini DV media. I ... Continue reading "Love's Labor Jam - Post Work" »
