Setting up the H4n

I love teaching, and sometimes when I get a specific question, I'll just make it a video for the blog. :)

This was requested by and made for Kole, but hopefully it helps anyone using a Zoom H4n.

thanks for watching!

Our Gear

About a month ago, I did a post on WHAT'S IN THE PELICANS. Here is the video:

We do a lot of different kinds of projects. Live audio, photography, video... that all require different tools for different applications. When it comes to video, we're pretty in love with what we have established, and what we can tackle with the gear that we have packed into a couple of cases in the back of a car.

Here is a quick look at what our gear looks like today. This is a bit simplified of course, but gives a feel for things at least:

Organization: Timbuk2 "Dime Bags"

We have so many little pieces of equipment floating around all over the place, it is important to group similar items into small pouches, bags and containers to keep things organized.

We have a ton of different systems we have adapted along the way, and a variety of containers and bags to keep things together. One of the items we have a pair of and use on nearly everything are these Timbuk2 Dime Bags. Laura and I can strap these to our Timbuk2 messenger bag straps and keep a few small things very handy.

We ordered ours about two years ago but these should still be floating around online somewhere if you want some of your own. :)

thanks for stopping by!

Tim Donar Time-lapse

My good friend Tim Donar is getting quite skilled at producing beautiful time-lapse work. He just sent me over this quick 4sec view of the Little Rock Airport, but it shows the potential of where he is going with his work.

A quick timelapse at the Little Rock airport.

Tim does canvas printing for us all the time and already has a wonderful ability in that art, but his new time-lapse skills are really exciting for showing the beauty inside the natural state. :)

Very cool. Very exciting. Thanks Tim!

Great Success Today

Shooting the wedding this afternoon was a great success, Laura and I had a blast. :)

Back at my desk pulling in all the footage, here's a cool Glidecam shot I just saw from today.
