Pro Lighting Opinion Needed!

[John Sharaf]

Ryan,

FYI, I provided my video facility (four Varicams, Telecast Fibe Systems, Canon HD Lenses, eCinema Monitors, Panasonic Switcher/Multiviewer, Evertz Frameset and DVCPRO100 decks) for the Hathaway and Rourke interviews in LA. I was also the “A” camera operator and provided the rest of the crew. I also went to Dallas to be the “A” operator and video consultant for the Jonas Bros shoot.

I agree with your comments about the opening “standups”, but I think the problem was basically what I spoke about in the previous post, that the selection of the location affects the success more than any other one factor. In this case, the empty restaurant really had no relationship to the rest of the show or to the Oscars themselves. When BW was in LA there was not enough time on her schedule to do these pages then, so they were picked up in New York, as was the Jackman interview.
