Rodney Charters Pre-NAB Podcast, Part 1

There was a certain irony present when I dialed up my friend, Rodney Charters, ASC, recently to discuss the latest digital camera acquisition trends as we head into NAB 2010. Rodney had just learned hours earlier what he had been suspecting for quite some time—that the hit Fox TV show he has shot for eight seasons, “24,” would finally be canceled at long last. It was a bit of a melancholy moment for Rodney, and for me, since I’ve edited one behind-the-scenes book on the show and penned the fan book for it, as well. (24: Ultimate Guide). Extending the irony, though, was the fact that the show lasted this long despite the fact that Rodney had fought hard the last two years to keep “24” in the film acquisition universe even as most of the rest of episodic television had dived headlong into the transition from film to digital.

NewTek encores NAB TriCaster upgrade guarantee for NAB 2010

NewTek, manufacturer of TriCaster portable live production systems and 3D software animation products, has just announced the NAB TriCaster Upgrade Guarantee Program. This renewed program means that NewTek customers can trade in any TriCaster purchased between January 15 and April 12, 2010 for full purchase price credit towards any new TriCaster product introduced at the 2010 NAB show, which will take place in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, from April 12 to 15.  This is very reassuring for anyone who may have been holding back a purchase of a TriCaster until NAB.
