I have noticed a ton of TV series shows have really embraced the blown out window and background look. It is kind of distracting and a bit hard on these old eyes of mine. :>)

Russian TV channel NTV job D.C. area ??? Hey folks, I got this email today. I don't know if it is legit. It is for a shoot in Alexandria, VA (misspelled in email). I am not interested, and just passing this along in case anyone is interested in investigating it. "Hello Im a producer for...

I'm sure you D.C. folks will be all over this one... "Radio Free Asia (RFA), a private, non-profit international broadcast operation located in Washington, DC, is seeking part-time DC-based contractors (20 hours per week) to work as Videographers/Video Editors alongside RFA journalists in...
