Just an excuse to look at a wreck and some manta rays. The rebreather system they are using is by Poseidon.

Sony Professional: NAB 2013 – New Camera systems for Live Sports

Sony Professional: NAB 2013 – New Camera systems for Live Sports from Sony Professional Europe on Vimeo.

With technological advancements and 4k cameras you can reduce the number of camera operators. Instead of having one central camera for the wide shot and several more to follow the action today’s technology allows for you to frame an HD signal in two 4k images. As a result rather than panning a camera physically you can pan a software camera instead. It means that one less person needs to be outdoors exposed to the weather. At the same time for conference coverage this is an interesting idea.

The second interesting aspect is the sending of three signals from the venue via IP over a distance of 300km. Instead of sending an OB van to the venue you can vision mix from the studio remotely and send back the program. This broadens the market for live vision mixing. With a smaller budget you can provide some of the same services as would have been provided by an OB van, sat truck and multi person crew.

It is broadening rather than undercutting the market.

Spoken like a Woman is an interesting look at the role that women have had in broadcasting history with the BBC. From the early days before the second world war and up until today. The sound bites are interesting.

I would definitely have preferred not to be in this type of situation. Can you imagine how physically demanding this work would have been?

Speed flying from the Mont Gouter, one of the peaks near the Mt Blanc.

Speed Riding Mont Blanc from Didier Lafond on Vimeo.

Speed flying is a combination of parapente and skiing. You take off from the top with the parapente and ski part of the way and fly for the rest of the way. This is an extreme sport but it provides some great images. This is a sport I edited footage from a number of times and it captures the imagination.
