I've been working as a cameraman over the last couple of days shooting training videos for a friend's company. It been a while since I've done this kind of work but the company has a great marketing guy who's done lots of producing/directing in his time so it's been a real pleasure.
I was shooting a tapeless video format called XDCAM. It shoots HD video to SxS media cards (dual slots) on a zippy little camera made by Sony, the PMW-EX1: http://www.primelensphoto.com/IMGP0287.jpg We shot directly out of the camera through a capture card (coverting to ProRes format) into Final Cut Pro. I simultaneously recorded directly to the SxS cards for redundancy. One of the cool features of the SxS cards is that they have the same physical architecture laptop ExpressCard/34 so they slide right out of the camera and into a laptop like a MacBook Pro. Technology is changing quickly in video acquistion, just as it is in the DSLR world. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
