Retrofitting CompactFlash Recording on the Camera

Q&A: Benjamin Cook, sound effects editor/mixer
Cook used the Holophone H3-D Surround microphone for on-location sound effects work in remote parts of Australia. The H3-D provides 3-D surround audio via six discrete channels from a single unit with no external mixing or signal manipulation needed. »
Q&A: Jimmy Hanks, Director/Actor/Filmmaker
Not one to stand on ceremony, Jimmy Hanks is constantly involved in a number of projects—from small independent features to big-budget productions—and says that the new generation of compact HD cameras from Canon helps him affordably bring ideas to the screen. “There’s no reason not to use these cameras,” he said. “Instead of sitting around, people should be out shooting.” »

It was a big year for ENG and field lenses at NAB, with some models getting lighter, some sharper and others more data intensive then ever before. »
Server-Based Editing for Maximum Throughput
At NAB a company called Maximum Throughput, known for its Sledgehammer network storage arrays, showed a server-based workgroup editing solution called MAXedit Server Edition that allows small broadcasters to cost-effectively set-up multi-seat HD/SD editing workgroups. While the software is no substitute for an Avid, Quantel or Thomson workgroup solution—as Giovanni Tagliamonti, the company’s chief executive officer will quickly tell you—it does allow someone to use standard laptops and desktop PCs to handle frame-accurate editing of compressed or uncompressed multi-resolution content. »
HD Cameras Everywhere, For Everyone
As of NAB 2008, we’ve reached the milestone at which cameras can now be considered high-definition without having to belabor the point. HD acquisition is no longer a luxury; it’s a necessary cost of doing business. »
Q&A: Craig Gordon, editor
Gordon is an HD specialist/editor with lots of experience in post-production technology, having worked on various linear and non-linear systems for both film and video projects. »
