PLURALEYES 4 STUCK IN PREPARATION PRO

We had access to the edit and grading suites in the morning, where I shot plenty of B roll just in case, as it turned out we wouldn't get access to the finishing or dubbing suites so this came in handy.ДЄs Corrie filming had finished on the street, we quickly went out to shoot the final 'conclusion' scene of the training video outside the Rovers and on the cobbles. We started a little later to recover from the long day before, enjoyed a big breakfast, plenty of coffee and headed over to the studios with our suitcases as it was our last day. I backed up onto 3 drives that night just in case.

Although we were working loads throughout the day, I think the day 1 total was around 60Gb all in all. I like to play the 'guess the gigabyte' game, simply guessing the total file size of the captured material. When we got back to the hotel, the importing and backing up began. We wrapped up day 1 late that evening which allowed us to capture most of the content for the video: we shot scenes 1 through to 7, great progress and took the pressure off day 2 as we didn't know what access we would have.

The front pockets are especially handy for grabbing memory card wallets and batteries quickly, as that is the most common thing I go to my bag for! Glen wheeled the prompter station around on it's pelicase, there was no way all of that could have fitted in! I did check the other day for AutoScript on tablets, which would be a much more viable solution for me. It's a very comfortable carry regardless of the weight, and if I was walking/traveling for a longer time I just strapped on the waist support to take the weight off my shoulders.

Sennheiser ENG-G3 wireless RxTx for lav micДЄll of camera and audio kit fitted into the AWESOME Manfrotto Pro Light 35 Backpack: I use the top compartment for the audio gear and accessories, the main sections for camera storage, and the back compartment for my laptop. Manfrotto 755CX3 Carbon fibre tripod + MVH500 AH head The equipment list (rather sparing for this shoot!): We also borrowed an AutoScript from Vitec, to relay the rather technically heavy (at some points) script to our brilliant presenter. We were on a restricted budget so I opted to stick with my camera and audio setup rather than hire in a camera. Beer was served and all was well!ДЄs Dick and myself had planned the shoot well, I selected just the right amount of equipment needed. We arrived after a couple of toilet and coffee stops at 9:30, dropped the gear and headed to the table Georgie and Dick had. Dick made sure we were all in check with the script while I lugged around the camera and prompter :)ДЄs there were three of us travelling up to Manchester on the Monday night, I chose to drive from Surrey, which was pretty straightforward, just a heck of a long journey to make at the end of the day. My trusty crew was Glen, who operated the AutoScript for our presenter Georgie, and John Harris on audio (from JHWF). Dick luckily got the go ahead for filming at the Corrie studios mid-way through BVE, so prep quickly began after. Unfortunately for me, it was difficult to pin down a location that close to Christmas and New Year with access to studios, galleries and other areas. Way back in November, myself and Dick Hobbs began the pre-production of a new training video covering the behind the scenes of a television studio for the IABM. Luckily enough, the two new models 14mm T/3.1 and 35mm T/1.5 arrived so I grabbed a scoop with them. It was then, when I walked up to the Intro2020 stand and saw the new Samyang XEEN Cine lenses on show. I was glad I arrived as the doors were opening, as after a quick press area pit stop I had a walk around the show floor to gauge where interesting stands would be. The video and article can be seen here on Cinema5D. This was certainly beneficial for WTS Broadcast who had the only new Sony PXW-Z150 at the show, and from talking to their team, on the opening day there was a queue around the show bar just to take a look at the video camera. This years BVE had a different feel to it, maybe it was the new layout, a much improved press area but also some of the big names didn't have a stand.

I've been going to BVE since 2010 when it was held in Earls Court, and it's still a great place to be to meet up with friends, network with other producers and manufacturers, and to get hands on with new kit.
