Getting ready for the weekend extravaganza of Sweeney Todd, w/ Redwood Symphony's 80pc orchestra, full cast + chorus.  Head Audio and Video.  Thanks to Chris Regan from RFVenue, and the entire co. from ETS Lan (the same co. of Instasnake)

 

Anyone around the area who wants to attend, see the Diversity Fin or CP Beam in action, buzz away.

Cañada College Main Theatre

Robo Cams:

 

The first location shoot I've done with them.  Built-in cameras, all controlled by a single operator, like at a TV station.  

This is at the SF JCC, for the Rova Saxophone Quartet w/ Gino Robair and live video by Ikue Mori.

(And no camera operators.)  Kind of weird, actually.

The view from Friday's office was pretty dull. But right outside the office stood a statue of Yoda, and nearby two local heros:

 

 

Eadweard Muybridge

Then a hundred yards down:

Philo Farnsworth

Gave me a little more respect for George, actually.

Last year on a fairytale shoot in South Tyrol (northern Italy) - still the old cart with antennas on separate stands.

My boom op Daniel waiting for the B cam op. Two Alexas, most wide/tight. This was one of very few occasions we didn't need the MKH 816.

This spring we did a loooong dolly shoot. Picture from a crappy phone camera.post-6335-0-03231900-1374589118_thumb.jp

 

Another set was a large entrance hall. Not so large with all the lighting accessories in there.

Last, me in my office at a Chinese restaurant in Munich.

Traveling (research) across China now - Shanghai, Hangzhou, Xitang, Xi'an, Beijing ... working while capturing stereo ambiences for my own library. Cicadas are on full blast. Great tones of high-ceiling train stations, busy night markets, crowds yelling, traffic on traffic, and even open rice fields with a bullet train whizzing by in the distance.

I even met up with Cloud while in Shanghai!

Pic is Xitang, a traditional river city by day, music clubs and bars by night. You may recognize it from a a scene in MI:3
