Totally bitchin video! what a great concept. I wonder what camera they flew? Its refreshing to see a music video that has a great concept and not your average yo yo yo in da club played out crap. Done too many of those. This video reminds me of old MTV 80's stuff.

LOL that is a killer concept. So awesome!

Damn Im gonna be working outta town. Maybe the next one. Have fun!

I've flown the Paradise FX 3D rig and its awesome. It is very light. Of course you have the cables to deal with but if you are gonna do 3D it is a dream for steadicam. Its the camera used on "My Bloody Valentine". I believe it was made to fit in a AR so that should tell you that it is very small. I used it on my PRO 2 rig and it honestly was almost too light. Id say it was about the same as flying a SR3 but cabled up. No problem with Convergence weight change either. Everything moved together and balanced really well.

Oh I almost forgot, Nick Franco is performing with us now too. Lets give him a warm welcome!

Guys Im really sorry you had to cover my shifts at Jumbos. Damn Ron really?,..... you are on Donkey Shift now. Last time I knew you were rockin the poodles but Donkeys? Make dat money man!!!! Geoff I know you have been in Atlanta so have you been taking odd jobs at the Clairmont? Say hello to Blondie. Jesus I think I worked about 330 days in 2009. I did films back to back. Fame, Halloween 2, The Roomate, Macgruber, Battle: Los Angeles, and Nightmare on Elm Street re-shoots. This year Knock on wood has been great so far too. I just did the Jonah Hex Re-shoots and Hatchet 2. I agree with Geoff on being thankful every time the jobs come. This is a tough buisness and staying busy is tough. Hopefully this year is going to be great for all of us and we will all be working and making mad chedda. At least Me, Ron, Brad, and Geoff have kept Jumbos open. If your not working I will be performing live Thursdays in my hot pink half net shirt throwing party poppers at the crowd dancing to wilson phillips with a tear in one eye. Please support us. My name is BJ after all :(

thats a rad pic!

For sure Jess I will call ya. Just wrapping up a feature then gonna spend some due time relaxin with my lady. We should plan a get together soon. Im back in LA. Its time for a guild drinky party soon. Anyone?

Hey Afton, Happy Birthday buddy. BJ

I know its a long shot but does anyone want to sell their preston single channel hand unit and reciever. If by a slim chance someone does please let me know. Thanks.

I agree 100% with Brooks. Russell has been really good for me. He has done deals for me that I couldn't even have done on my own. Top notch. If anyone wants to talk to me you can also reach me on my cell 323-868-7330. Brooks pretty much said it all.

Happy Birthday Steve!!!

Oh snap no problem. Its spooky though cause you can see thru the floor

Damn Nick I leave tomorrow on a feature in New Mexico. I would love to pick it up for the 380 price. Shit I wish I woulda seen it earlier. By the way congrats on Iron Man 2 second unit homie! We need to get drinks when I get home. I think im gonna have a party at the crib so I will let you and the steadi community know. Maybe I can give you the 380 and shipping to send it to me in New Mexico. HMMMMM

Hey Girl Happy birthday!!!!!!!!! I hope the leg is mo betta! Rub lisigav on the joints and the healing should speed up. Can't wait till Im back from New Mexico to hang! Have a great day. BJ

Happy Birthday my friend. If you were here in California we would go out to a punk bar and rock out! Have a great birthday. BJ McDonnell

Well I got one from Stuart Howell. Thanks alot guys for the responses. I no longer am looking.

Hey guys the websites look great, Check out mine as well www.mcdonnellsteadicam.com I think it is important to have a website these days. I get alot of work just due to the fact that any DP or producer can access my reel right online. They don't have to wait for a reel in the mail. It is instant

You are a true pal Ron.

Does anybody have a hummingbird monitor they might want to sell? Let me know. Thanks

I know right! Unfortunatly I had sloppy thirds after you two. Third times a charm! Lol! Ron how was your party? Wish I coulda been there. Next time brutha.

Dude!!! I thought you said you were not gonna show that video!!! Crap!
