27Mar Used Gear Watch: Audio-Technica AT4073a Shotgun Mic
The Audio-Technica at4073a shotgun mic does a great job of picking up audio, has a strong output, and is one of the most frequently used microphones in my collection.

Every time these headphones appear in one of my videos, I get questions about them. You are looking at a pair of Panasonic RP-HTX7 headphones. I had to do some digging to find out when I actually bought this pair and it looks like I’ve been using them since April of 2008. So almost 4 […]

Picture from EOSHD.com, head over to Andrew’s site to check out his full review of the 5d mark III along side his video tests. I’m currently still waiting for my 5d mark III order to ship and of course I’m hunting around trying to find every last spec of information on the camera while I wait. […]
21Mar Short film: Convention Girl
This short was shot in the hotel room at one of the conventions we traveled to last year. If you aren’t in the loop, we raise money for each of our feature length films by traveling from state to state selling copies of our previous films. After a long day of running a booth we […]
