    [Shane Ross] ” HD CRTs are no longer being made”

    Just for the record sony is still making some BVM’s or at least has them on their web site. It’s a very slim selection.

    Well I have to agree with you, this life can be trivial but it is good to have a sense of humor.

    Thanks for checking that out, I took your word for it and gave the credit to Bob. I’ll have to dig into Esther’s music to see if I can find the song I confused the credit with. Perhaps it was what inspired Bob Dylan.

    Not sure where the corporate video fits in though…

    Esther Phillips was/is a blues singer from way back. I remembered hearing the song “everything is broken” by a female blues artist years before Bob Dylan revisited the tune about 10 years ago and made it a little more famous. The lyrics seemed to fit with modern technology then and now so more than ever hence the quote just stuck with me. I actually haven’t spent the time to confirm whether or not she is the writer of the song but I know I heard it prior to Bob’s release of his version.

    I’m not connected to a monitor right now but it sounds like the dreaded cmos chip rolling shutter.

    [Chris Borjis] “well it plays the non-rotted discs I guess. I’ve never seen a rotted laser disc, but I have seen a rotted Blu-Ray.

    It’s good if it won’t play the rotten ones, you wouldn’t have to waste your time watching them. Nothing like sitting through a movie and catching yourself thinking ” I should have stayed home, I could be doing laundry” You know it has to be a rotten one at that point. 🙂

    I had a laser disc sitting on top of the refrigerator at the back for several years. It was placed on a bowl of almost the same diameter and eventually some smaller bowls were placed on top of it. One day I noticed it was all wonky with warps 1″ – 1.5″ across it but what did I care, I don’t have a player anymore anyway. Just recently I moved it and it was pretty well perfectly flat again. The smaller bowls had been taken off it for several months and it just flattened out again on it’s own. and I don’t take drugs either.

    I’ve seem lots of re-writable cd’s get those bubbles then the coating peels off but not dvd’s or laser discs. Sony has created that new hard coating for bluray which is supposed to make them fairly indestructible.

    [Dean Sensui] “A more dramatic lighting setup would also help. That light colored wall is distracting. Flag your lights to knock them down a bit.

    I wasn’t going to go there given the condition of the instructor. The main thing that keeps coming back to me is the lighting. The back wall is the brightest thing and the subject should be. The talent should have the main light striking her face more from the front. There is more light illuminating her from the sides and back than the front. I would make the talent 1-2 stops brighter than the background to create some depth and isolate the subject. Then have the camera people address the camera problem, follow Zane’s recommendation about white balance and re-shoot if that is possible. This is one of those situations where a re-shoot is feasible because there aren’t a lot of people involved. You could do a lot of work in post and still never achieve decent results.

    [Sean ONeil] “Yeah, except Betamax :)”

    I worked for a Vocational school in the 80’s that switched to betamax from 16mm. They used betamax well into the 90’s. I know a guy locally who still shoots and edits with ED Beta although he is pretty much retired now. Eventually all tape formats will go the way of the Dodo bird and everything will be wireless.
