Here are some highlight pix from this year’s road trip to NAB in Las Vegas.
Chapman Leonard’s 15′ and 32′ telescoping crane with fully submersible arm.
A new camera made here in the US. It shoots 1080 & 720 at various frame rates and records this information to an internal hard drive. It can mount PL, C, and F lenses. And it happens to sell for about $20K. I might have to get two!
Arriflex’s new 416. The sweetest 16mm camera.
Lite Panel has a single, 2×2, and 4×4 LED panel.
Panasonic’s new HD plasma monitor. 103″, 1080p!
Panasonic’s new LCD HD monitor’s. 27″ monitor on top (their 17″ monitor underneath).
Aaron plays one for the road… at the 7-Eleven!! The intervention meeting will be taking place on Thursday.
Some travel notes from the trip… We had a chance to eat the buffet at the Wynn Hotel and it was fantastic. As one person mentioned, usually when you go to a buffet you’re looking for something you like, but here you have to actually look for something you don’t like or not like as much.
During the drive home, Aaron played a book on tape. Getting caught up in the story was a great way of keeping me from slipping into driver’s hypnosis – the dreamy state from being tired and driving long, straight roads. I’ll test it again when I drive to Northern California in a couple of days for a shoot.
Alien Fresh Jerky – Yummy eats on the way home. There was a tiny, 8mm indie production shoot going on while we were there.
