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.

Build A Lumberyard Lighting Kit

Illumination On The Cheap!

It’s my belief that the most under-rated skill in video production is lighting.  If you know what you are doing, even an inexpensive camera can make impressive pictures (and of course, the reverse is also true – if you don’t know what you are up to, even a great camera can look terrible.)  If you snoop around at sites like B&H Photo and Video, you’ll quickly discover that a professional lighting kit is no small expense; it is not uncommon for a single light to cost upwards of $500, and boxed kits are often over $2000.  But don’t despair!  A lot of the basic things you need to do a good job of lighting are doable with equipment can be bought for small money at your local lumberyard.  (You’ll also be taking a few side trips too.)  Let’s have a look around and see what’s available.
