The usual suspects will gather to partake of nourishment prior to the opening of the NAB show tomorrow here in Las Vegas. However since the previous establishment we've gathered at for several years no longer does breakfast, we have moved to the other side of the convention center to the...

Okay since the NCAA game is Monday, getting a table at Monte Carlo or any other bar will be like dealing with a Craigslist client….painful. So-at least as far as I am thinking-Monte Carlo at The Pub, Tuesday evening 7pm. Monday morning-breakfast at the LVH buffet, I'll be hanging by the...

As the subject says…if you are going to NAB, what are you looking for to buy? Not think about, dream, or bitch about everything that the new XYZ doesn't do….actual stuff you need to add to your gear package? Me: I'm looking to add a couple of LED lights, and am looking at Nila Zaila lights...

So who's all in? It's time for that show stopping, one of a kind extravaganza know as NAB. Join the thousands of people, standing in line for a shuttle bus, waiting in line for a Starbucks, hanging in a group to see a camera not to be released for 17 months, and the ever exciting "LunchLine"...

Back where it all started, and with the permission of Kevin "Baby Jesus" Johnson, I announce the return of the Broll Bash/Meet-up to The Pub at Monte Carlo. B-rolling in at 7pm Monday the 8th, in beautiful Las Vegas, the Monte Carlo hotel and it's famous "The Pub". Hosted by me. Truly. Well...

Ladies and Gentlemen, it's time once again for the yearly Festival of Freelance Feeding Frenzy Festival. All are welcome, staffers included, cause that's how we roll. It's a buffet of breakfast bounty, all for you to consume prior to engaging the gauntlet of porn card slappers heading into the...

It's once again time for that moment we've all been waiting for...the annual breakfast at the Las Vegas Hilton, Monday April 16th at 8:30. Enjoy the most important meal of the day with some of the most unimportant people in broadcasting history. Meet at the entrance to the buffet at the Las...

My latest blog. Yes I have a blog. Apparently blogging is rather fashionable these days, and being the trendy fashion follower I am, here are my pithy thoughts and comments about absolutely nothing in particular: http://www.tvshooter.net/blog.php.

http://www.tvweek.com/blogs/tvbizwire/2011/12/well-known-musician-joins-cbs.php I like Wynton Marsalis. He's an incredible player, and his whole family is extremely talented and have put in the hard work to be some of the world's finest musicians. But this is another in a trend ( I hesitate to...

I honestly have no idea how to respond, using only words that can said on broadcast television. Hi Richard My name is Najah and I am trying to film a Reality TV show based here in ATL. I wanted to get your pricing and to see if this is something that you do? I am looking to get my show off...

So I get a call to do a shoot and the crewer says I see you have an HDX900. Yes, I do, and we book the shoot. Once on location I find out they are shooting SONY F900, not PANASONIC HDX900! Awesome. We did the shoot, but they'll have to dub the tape. I offered to Nanoflash it for free, but they...

Just had a client call complaining the Nanoflash QT files I sent them won't play. After a longer than needed Q&A with the guy, and a consultation with Dan Keaton at Convergent, we find the guy is using-Avid Express, and the NewTek VT5. When told he needs to download a FREE player to at least...
