Coming along.

As progress progresses, found some extra space I’d love to make some use of.

How?

Over at G+, Zack Allen asked for some details on my 2.4GHz antenna scheme. Here you go, Zack!

TMI? If you’re not a complete geek, yeah, LOL.

A video from my colleague & friend Paul Pouthier (who got the solution from mutual friend / colleague Tom Varga), in answer to my question as to how the heck he did this. This simple solution is what I like to call ‘elegant’.

Thanks, Paul. Thanks, Tom.

Geek’ed out new pet observational moments.

Bunny Cam

When I’m working, the bunny cam will be active. When not working, I’ll be making and streaming videos about the cart and work.

I can see this as a solution to lots of situations, not least of which those increasingly-familiar phone call scenes where the off-camera talent is actually on the phone for performance, and the director wants to not only hear the conversation, but direct it. When all that’s going on, one might certainly want to record the resulting off-camera dialog / instructions, and this iAV would be a very cool way to accomplish that once a conference call is established.

Thinking low budget / web series, with this device, a FaceTime call could probably be routed and a screen cast similarly recorded for the other side of the conversation.

Possibilities.

Sounds like a great product and I look forward to needing it.

Following a year-long, light-by-light upgrade, here’s evidence that the cart lighting project is now complete.

I am exceedingly happy with the result, and actually look forward to the 4 or five nights and splits scheduled in the next weeks. If that anticipation is all the research, products that missed the boat, drilled holes, new tools, etc. produce, then the project was a screaming success.

Google ‘Remote Audio Nitelite’ or ‘Rosco LitePad’ for your own 12V DC light options. Too tired to find and copy the links here. Work for it

The Greenlee Knockout Punch tools arrived. The process is more simple and easier than I imagined. Tomorrow morning, I begin making holes in earnest. Yup.

Structural integrity, that is.

Having had a top shelf buckle, was reluctant to cut without some testosterone-based reassurance from my peers. Check. Everyone seems to think a 2″ hole will be just fine.

The hole-cutting tools arrive tomorrow.

Whee!
