XDCAM HD crews
Posted by Lgoldfarb on February 9, 2007 at 11:38 pmSoon, I’m starting production of several hours of content, but first I might lose all my hair trying to determine which HD format to shoot on. I’m intrigued by XDCAM. My concern is finding crews in major cities, primarily LA, San Fran, DC, Atl & Boston that own the camera and know how to shoot documentary/newsmagazine content. Any suggestions?

February 12, 2007 at 8:32 amCall me at my work number: (310) 806-4406. I am Los Angeles based, and know several other people with good XDCAM gear.
I have the 350 model with Fujinon 13×3.3 HD lens (very wide) and much more. I also have a good little “B-Cam” which is the Sony V1. The XDCAM HD shooter would be Chris Rhodes, Emmy-winning network veteran — one of the best cam-ops in the business. I am also a competent shooter and this would be more economical, but Chris is a genius with a camera. He also owns a Cam-Mate jib and is one of the best jib operators in town.
Give me a call at the above phone number anytime between 11:00 am Monday and 5:00 pm Thursday for more information.

March 10, 2007 at 6:06 pmHi,
I have been photographing news and documentary television for over thirty years and have worked with most of the HD formats on the market including XD/HD.
XDCam HD is the format that the “Rather Reports” has chosen. If you’re not familiar with it, this is a newsmagazine anchored and, often, reported by Dan Rather that is broadcast on HDNet. The camera crews are generally folks who worked with Dan at CBS. Some of us have the XDCam, many of us, including myself, don’t and either rent a camera or get one from HDNet. If you’d like to contact me off-list, I’d be happy to put you in touch with crews around the country and/or discuss the benefits and limitations of XDHD and other HD formats.
