The Unemployment Logs: Tekzilla Video Question

It's a much nicer day, but that doesn't detract from the fact that my Xbox is broken.  It's getting the "Open Tray" error (this is the only "official" article I can find, and even this is incomplete), and soon I'll be getting a new disc drive so I can do a DIY repair.

But that doesn't stop me from recording the Unemployment Logs and testing out my "news anchor voice."

Here's the links:

The article with Jannard's comment

RED Digital Cinema

Some TV shows and movies shot on Red:

District 9
Gamer
The Informant
The Book of Eli
Leverage
ER (the final season)
The Lovely Bones
and S. Darko; A Donnie Darko Tale

Here's a prosumer camera I got my eyes on: the JVC GY-HM700u

My pal, Jedidiah Dwyer. Anyone in California looking for a talented guy, hire him!!

Tekzilla

And even better than a link, here's the actual show.  You won't have to wait long, since my question is the first thing they get to.

And here's what I ended up getting, a Kenwood eXcelon KDC-X993

The Unemployment Logs: Tied Up

And now for one of my earlier pieces.  Not looking to show off, just a little example of film noir.

Eventually, I did turn on the air conditioning.

Fun little fact about the film I forgot to mention: our Femme Fatale was allergic to smoke, so after every take of that shot with the matches, we had to fan the smoke away with black foam core.  And we were indoors, so we were lucky we didn't set off a fire alarm in that 12 story building.

Anyway, here are the links.

Welcome home, Mom and Dad!

My folks just got back from celebrating their 25th anniversary by spending two weeks in Ireland.  And for the next 2 months, they'll be showing everyone who comes to our house the pictures from their trip. 

If you happen to visit my house and end up sitting for the slide show, I will most likely mysteriously disappear.  Don't be alarmed, it's just that I've seen it before and would rather be on my Xbox.

Congrats to the Grads!

Four of my friends just graduated yesterday from the Art Institute of Washington with BFAs in Digital Film and Video Production, just like I did 3 months ago!

And just like me, they need jobs.  So in the next Unemployment Logs, I'll be showing their montage reels.

Stay tuned!
