    [Herb Sevush] “The lost art of lighting”

    I tend to agree here Herb

    The back light is a light that has gone by the waste side for many, but not me.

    I work with a talent with jet black hair. Her hair is beautiful, but with out a back light her head can look like a black hole on camera.

    No need for that. It takes extra time but it’s really worth it.

    I love to light in the field and will always make that my first move.

    It’s nice to have the option of saving flat lighting when you are forced to use it.

    Get in this locker room and get out!

    [Richard Herd] “have you tried a ring light?”

    Thanks Richard,

    I have not used that specific light but

    I find that if I have a top light on my rig when I move into the subject the light becomes a little too intense.

    Also the extra weight on the rig is a workout.

    I shot it with an F3 and that camera needs very little light. I have really been enjoying using it.

    Have you had good results with the ring light?

    When I started in TV in the 80’s sports was maybe 30 percent of my work. Now it’s maybe 75

    There is definitely a split between sports fans and non.

    Here is St. Louis our Cardinal ratings crush the competition. This is a big sports town.

    Tomorrow we have “6” broadcast sports feeds coming out of our city, 4 with playoff hockey and two at Busch stadium for Cards.

    We got to fly in people from around the country to cover all the spots.

    It drives the economy big time. My cousin works for a major grocer here in town and the sales go through the roof because of all the folks having people over to watch the games.

    sports bars and such.

    I have been to Super Bowl parties and Oscar parties but never to a web party : )

    I would have to agree Marcus,

    When you set-up for Red, Alexa and now the Sony F55

    You have some of the top cameras in the world.

    Who uses those cameras? On What type of productions?

    [David Cherniack] “Well you were really asking if their opinions about X merited respect. That’s hard to judge from an Apple puff piece “

    We both agree that they are very talented.

    I think we can also agree that they really like using X (for whatever they are using it for)

    I enjoyed reading about their experiences with it.

    [Aindreas Gallagher] “- I’m fairly sure I didn’t mention that dude at all.”

    I know, that’s why I asked about him. Seems like he would be a more interesting topic on this forum than some Canadian newspaper.

    It least, it would seem that way to me.
