Bruce A. Johnson

A 1981 graduate of the Boston University College of Communication, Bruce A. Johnson got his first job in broadcast television at WFTV, an ABC affiliate in Orlando, FL. While there, he rose through the ranks from teleprompter operator to videographer, editor, producer and director of many different types of programming. It was in the early 1980's that he bought his first computer - a Timex/Sinclair 1000 - a device he hated so much, he promptly exchanged it for an Atari 400. But the bug had bitten hard.

In 1987, Johnson joined Wisconsin Public Television in Madison as a videographer/editor, and still works there to the present day. His responsibilities have grown, however, and now include research and presentations on the issues surrounding the digital television transition, new consumer technology and the use of public television spectrum in homeland security. He freelances through his company Painted Post MultiMedia, and has written extensively for magazines including DV and Studio Monthly.

Live From NAB: Get A Handle On Your Camera

Ugrip Customizes Your Camera To You

There aren’t too many cameras out there that make everyone happy right out of the box.  Sometimes you have to adjust things to make the camera feel like it is “your own.”  A Danish company called Ugrip has come up with a very cool system of plates and handles for just about every camera in use today.  Once installed, the systems allow many places to mount handles, accessories or even mounting boxes for devices like Firestore drives.  The handles are particularly clever; by loosening an Allen screw in their base you can gimbal the padded handle through a large range of motion.  Ugrip parts can be purchased ala carte, or in pre-packaged kits for specific cameras.  You can learn more at the Ugrip website, or at B&H Photo/Video’s website.
