My personal impressions only... NAB this year was more fun because I wasn't looking for anything in particular and was fortunate to walk away without spending a small fortune. It's always good to see the trends and this year 4K cameras were everywhere, along with brushless gimbals in copter and...

Just had this excellent mod done by Macie Video on my HDX900 which makes using a Pix240 or Nanoflash even simpler. No need to have tape in the camera to make the digital device start rolling. Light on in the viewfinder lets you know the data is recording. Can start and stop the device from...

The first clip recorded fine. I pressed stop. Then pressed record again for next clips. All following clips will not open or play but the thumbnails have an exclamation mark on them. The files are there... 40+ gigs. Any clues?

Just curious, on the job I'm doing tomorrow, they are requesting a slow shutter effect, where you create trails. On the HDX the synchro scan will only allow me to go down to 30. I see no way to get an even slower shutter. Normally to get the effect I need to go to around 15 or less. Do you have...

Was looking to update an old peter Lisand adjust-a-grip that I had on my D600 for use on a HDX900. Tried looking up Lisand and got nothing. Bummer. They made great stuff.

Best wishes and happy holidays to all my freelance friends here at B-roll, and also to those camera people that actually have jobs! This year I played Winter Wonderland. Have a great holiday! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtPlYG98zLw

OK... so I don't really work news anymore. Still do a lot of doco, TV shows, industrial/corporate, some commercials and the occasional indie film. Here's the trailer for the latest indie film I worked on (before you ask... yes I got paid even though it was an indie film). This was a fun one as...

Snowy day in Boston and tired of shoveling, so I thought I’d express my thoughts on some of the new large chip cameras hitting the market. NAB is fast approaching and I’m sure we’re going to see a lot more advancements. My thoughts are directed not so much at the technical aspects of the...

Anybody got connections in Chile? I may be traveling there and will need a fixer. Thanks.

Another in my series of annual musical holiday vids. Happy Christmas and Merry New Year to all my video/film compadres! May 2011 be busy and profitable! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXrsRkQ0_Hk Ken

These are some difficult times in the freelance world. For the past five years or so I have been actively diversifying my client base, and at the same time trying to build a reel with narrative work on it as well as having documentary/newsmag/corporate etc. In doing that I've been involved in...

Happy Holidays! It's that time of year again! This year I've recorded "Let it Snow" for your holiday enjoyment. Wishing my friends and colleagues on "b-roll" the best for a happy, healthful and prosperous holiday season and New Year. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-9GOfqrp0k

Hey gang...don't forget to watch "Time Warp" this Wednesday, (10.28.09), at 10PM EST & later at 1AM EST on the Discovery Channel and see some of my work. This week's show rocks. We delve into the gritty, EXPLOSIVE world of car crushing before heading off to the forest to meet up with...

I have some heavy tripods (studio pedestal) that need to be shipped (and packed) from LA to Boston. Anyone have a line on a good shipping company...not too expensive that can pick up, box it and ship to me? Thanks for you help in advance. Cheers.
