  4. I don't know about alfeo, but I was offered a shanghai massage in the Bathroom Cabinet at wholesale prices. I turned them down.
  5. LentEquip was able to give me the dip switch codes, but I'm looking for more info. does anyone have that by chance?
  6. ha ha... awesome job. The song got old after.. 60 seconds maybe, but it was still fun. I laughed =) Nice work John.
  7. I'm just curious what socks the ladder guy is wearing.
  8. I get mine for $1.50 a pair at the seconds store. I can't really tell the difference, except maybe the occasional thin spot.
  9. I make the AD rub my feet during lunch. It's part of my deal memo.
  10. Janice, thanks for sharing this. As a creative bloke, keeping organized is something that I struggle with from time to time. So hearing how others do it helps a lot. Rob, any iPhone apps out there that you use? or do you just use address book.
  11. My wife and I were looking for a new BMW on ebay once and found a girl selling her virginity. Same kinda thing as this guy I guess. (We purchased neither the BMW, nor the girl)
  12. Wait a second... We're supposed to use our hands when operating? This changes everything.
  13. Thanks for the reply. Alfeo. Good idea with a monopod. I probably could use that 755 of the time, and have a club for ...when I get hungry. We're flying into.. Entebbe? then going to Jinja. The people i'm going with said selling stuff might not work, but I could try if I wanted. Andrew. No steadicam. I'm just taking what gear I can carry with me during the day, so sticks and camera. I still don't know how run'n'gun it will be. It might be real laid back, and I have time to compose shots. I'm not familiar with Carnet. I'll look it up. Thanks Mike for the link. I'll check it out.

  14. Hey guys, I've been asked to go to Uganda to shoot for a foundation that was started by some friends of mine (the foundation) There is not really a budget, so It's pretty much just what I own, or can beg/borrow. So I have a few questions. 1. Anyone have experience shooting in Uganda, specifically Jinja? A map, because I didn't know where it was My friends have been there often, (adopted 6 Ugandan kids) and have given good advice. Other experiences will probably help me prepare. 2. I own a 5D mk2, and an HVX200. I'm not sure what to shoot on. The footage is for promo pieces that will be shown on their website, and benefits. Here's a quick pros/cons for the two formats I have access too. (yes, I realize that the 5d is mainly a still camera, not a video camera. But the DOF look might help..as long as I can keep things in focus... heh) 5D advantages smaller than HVX better lenses than HVX (kinda) focal length is 22-300 on 5d (over a few lenses) low light sensivity Doesn't look like a video camera 5d dis-advantages rolling shutter hard to handhold, and control focus / exposure H.264 no zoom control minijack audio inputs HVX advantages Easier to operate than 5d better data rate for video (DVCPRO HD vs H.264) Zoom control XLR inputs Mattebox for filters HVX disadvantages Larger than 5d (but not by much) Looks like video camera Doesnt' do as well in low light not the coveted 35mm DOF look 3. Either way, I was considering some sort of shoulder mount to help with shooting all day, in weird, unpredictable conditions. I don't really want it to look like...well, any kind of weapon. I was told that we are not in a dangerous town, and Jinja is a "tourist" town, so they are used to yanks with electronics. But that said, I think the "gun stock" mount is right out. Any shoulder mount experience? Thanks guys.
  15. You forgot archer2 and clipper =)
  16. Although I can't make it, I feel compelled to reply. However, I do sympathize with the Mtn. and it's hairstyle.
  17. Oh gosh, you're right. Sorry about that. =) I had a funny feeling when I hit "submit" but I figured I was getting hungry. http://www.steadicam.com/videoMini.html And I had forgotten about this photo until I googled Steadicam Mini For the record Stephen, the above photo is NOT how you operate steadicam. At least the camera is on the right side of the post, and the vest is indeed on the operator. I don't know Mark, the mini arm does have it's own sock, and it doubles as a lamp. My G50 doesn't even do that. =)
  18. Hi Stephen, That's a Flyer LE, if I remember right. Top payload is 19lbs. You should be fine with the HVX and wide angle adapter, unless it's a 9lb adapter =). You shouldn't need any rubber bands. Keep twisting till the arms are slightly above level. (the camera side of each bone is higher.) Bryan
  19. Draft number 2 http://www.vimeo.com/9575713 I moved some things around. took out a bunch. Still left Miranda up front, just because a lot of people that will be seeing this should know who she is. But I imagine that she'll get replaced soon enough. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks again everyone for your comments, long or short. I think it's better because of them.
  20. Brian, Great words. Great name. after tomorrow's deadline I'll finish a 2nd draft edit, and possibly write a reply. Thanks much. =) Bfo
