Teaching to The Test Pattern #117: Roundtable 4-13-23
Adam, Josh, and Tom meet again to talk about what’s going on in their lives including Josh’s love for BlackMagic Design cameras, Adam’s ebay bidding wars for VHS tapes and Tom’s upcoming trip to Las Vegas.
Tom shares his experience with the Hollyland C1 as he tried to bust the myth about the device only working in the perfect scenarios.
The “World’s Most Riggable Full Frame Camera” has arrived!!! I know you were waiting on it! It’s finally here!! I have to admit, I wasn’t sure where to start when Blackmagic Design backed up the new product truck for NAB and unloaded them all in an over 2 hour broadcast but I figured the “World’s Most Riggable Full Frame Camera” would be a good place to start for a lot of reasons not the least of which is the fact that it’s the most riggable camera in the world… The Blackmagic Design Pyxis is a 6k camera that comes ready for the world.
Tom shares how the most famous shot in golf was almost missed and a timely lesson on live production with a Masters focus

This article talks about the importance of creating a good reel and making it relevant in a doom-scrolling society.
