Interview with Mike Curtis at HDforIndies.com

An interview with Mike Curtis at his location about his life as a consultant for independent film producers, his experiences at NAB 2007 and the Red Digital Camera.

Talking Portraits Productions Studio

Here is picture of the studio showing the Final Cut Pro station on the left (MacPro) and the audio station on the right using Cubase. Both systems have dual monitors setups. I'm using RME analog to digital gear (8 analog with 8 channel DIO on each station) with optical interfacing to pipe multichannel digital audio between the two stations. All my mixing is done electronically so the only things I have on the desk are keyboards and the Mackie Big Nob for controlling volume to the studio speakers and switching between the two stations.


This is my portable rig. It's a SoundDevices 722 with two Quarterman omni microphones. I like this set-up because it's small, light and extremely high quality. The best part is I don't need microphone stands and I don't have to worry about the person I'm interviewing always moving back or away from his/her microphone during the interview. The interview 'connection' feels more real and less like a formal process with lots of gear staring them in the face.

I have a couple of small wireless Sennheiser microphones that I mainly use for video podcasting.

In video podcasting I'm using the Sony A1U HD video camera ...


and the Sony V1U HD video camera.

Interview with Corey Booth - CIO of Securities and Exchange Commission

This will be posted on the EnterpriseLeadership.org site very shortly. I really enjoyed this conversation. He was quite insightful about his thinking processes and all the changes to his organization to keep it current.

Look for it by April 17th.

Video Podcast with Jensen Walker - Photographer

Jensen Walker [www.JensenWalker.com] suggested I create a short documentary around his concept and photo shoot of Iraqi soldiers invading an American kitchen with a family on the floor - much like what we see in the press these days. This is a provocative idea that gets you thinking. With all do respect for the incredibly difficult situation our USA solders are in of course.
