…and it’s goodnight from him.

In episode 36:

Its been a while…. Steve’s travelled to Hong Kong and Paul’s been jetting off to Leeds. NAB has also been and gone… lots of new kit… but we’re guessing the big news is RAW, and what that might mean to how we work. Oh, and Paul admits to a big mistake with the Canon C200.

Is broadcast TV officially dead… and what are we all going to do now? Far from being depressed, we take a look at what opportunities we might need to embrace. Maybe computer generated presenters should be worried too!

We’ve also been reassessing what extrashot should be. What do you want to discuss in our virtual crew room? Are endless camera reviews getting a little pointless? Have a listen and do tell us what you think.

Hope you enjoy this episode.

In episode 35:

We know… it’s a little late for the first episode of the new year, but we do hope all of you are having a busy start to 2018!

The BSC Expo in London has now become our first “must go to” event of every year and 2018 certainly had a great buzz about the place with new camera launches and plenty of desirable gadgets. We talk to Barry Griffin from Canon, get surprised by RAW, and of course, reveal the Alexa LF with Marc Shipman-Mueller from Arri.

After 90 years, the 2018 Oscars have finally nominated a female cinematographer.  Rachel Morrison could make history, but we wonder why hasn’t there been more?

With new toys, a new studio and a touch of decorating, we hope you enjoy this packed episode.

In episode 34:

In this special Christmas episode, Steve and Paul are joined by Mark Langton for his annual festive quiz… and he manages to make us all look stupid!

We also take a look at our favourite kit of the year, the jobs we’ve enjoyed and try to answer the old question of how to get a start in the industry.

One prediction we can make for next year is that all the smart crews will be wearing our new cool shirt…  Steve removes his coat to reveal all.

A very happy Christmas to all our listeners and all the best for the New Year ahead.

 

Hope you enjoy

In episode 33:

Things start a little more seriously on this special Halloween episode…. and as yet another scandal effects the whole entertainment industry, Steve and Paul discuss whether saying nothing makes us all complicit.

We re-visit an old subject with a few more suggestions of what we should all be called as Paul slams into reverse and changes his mind.

How many left handed dyslexic vision recordists do you know?  We suspect there might be a few and wonder if it’s an unfair edge!

We can all argue about which is the best camera to buy…. but can we agree on the 5 worst cameras ever made?  Give us your suggestions for the bottom 5 video.

With very expensive viewfinders, kissing fish and a live delay… you’ll never get the teeshirt if you don’t listen!

Enjoy

In episode 32:

In this sound recordists special, we finally get to talk with our old friend and mini-golf champion, Richard Eades.  The role of the location sound recordist has gone through enormous changes over recent years.  With the rise of ‘shooting PD’s’ and return of ‘separate sound’, how has the job changed?  Often expected to be a camera assistant or even now a DIT specialist, is this the best way to keep the diary full?  We also discover the easiest way to wind-up your own sound recordist in the middle of a busy day!

EVA, URSA, Venice, Amsterdam… lots to discuss from this years exciting IBC show, but which camera do we think is going to replace the FS7 as the default choice for Television production managers?

As Steve returns from cycling in Turkmenistan, and the Monkey has to change his pension arrangements, Paul needs to know what settings will make his F5 look like a 1970’s 8mm home movie camera?

It really is a packed episode… enjoy.

Shooting People

1

In this episode, Steve and Paul discuss the dangers of discussing your next job in public places and then end up wondering where all the public spaces have gone!

RED have announced they are going to sell a phone while Apple stores start selling everything you need for professional video from RED… coincidence or the beginnings of another shift in our industry?

As extrashot produce their first video on drone racing, there’s a proposal to register any drone over 250 grams.  Is it a good idea or a total waste of time?

With monkey news, bear stories, resolution rants, and even tales from the war, this really is a bumper summer episode you shouldn’t miss.

Enjoy,

In episode 30:

After a nail biting, foot squashing, media scrum of an election, things calm down again as we head into summer and wonder, what is the difference between a TV and movie camera?

As new cameras are launched from Canon and Panasonic, Phill Lane from Top-Teks joins us to discuss the often neglected tripods we’ll need to rest them on!

We discover a hidden gem of a studio down in Bournemouth, ProStudioHire… and immediately get to work comparing Kino Flo and Lishuai soft LED lights.

With the usual rants and light hearted clips, Steve decides he doesn’t want a pastry with that!

The Perfect Camera

0

In episode 29:

In this bumper episode, Paul and Steve are shocked by what didn’t get launched at NAB this year, but our roving reporter, Adam Peariso, gives us his take on the interesting new kit that was on display.

Does anyone make a bad camera? Paul strives for perfection while Steve shows us his new white suit.

As taxi drivers learn to be cameramen, we wonder how hard can it be for cameramen to learn to be taxi drivers!

With music reviews, weather reports and a new ‘easy to use’ format, we hope you enjoy this packed episode.

In episode 28:

As Steve realises his laptop could possibly explode, Paul wishes he was flying to NAB to see the rumoured new camera releases. Is this the year Sony replace the ageing F5, or has that happened already with the FS7II ?

Amazon Prime has disappointed Paul while Steve is disappointed with the BBC… but on a lighter note Steve explains why Insurance isn’t boring!

What generation are you… feeling to old to play with LEGO?

With much more – and the launch of our new web site, we hope you enjoy this new episode.

In episode 27:

The first episode of 2017…

This year has started well with Paul and Steve being employed again!  Steve’s been working with real DOP’s while Paul has been out with Trigger’s broom.

We also chat about the recent BSC Expo with Phill Lane of Top-Teks.  There was a great buzz about the show and many cameramen got to play with the Canon C700 for the first time.  Is this the camera to challenge Arri?

With the usual industry rumours a few rants and an appeal for answers, we hope you enjoy this new episode.
