Cine Gear Expo on the blazing-hot Universal backlot

Day 2 of Cine Gear Expo dawned sunny and hot—our in-car temperature display registered 102 degrees Fahrenheit by 1:30pm. Despite the heat, there were plenty of things worth seeing.

Adam Wilt | 06/20- 04:29 PM

Cine Gear Expo on the Universal back lot.

We came down to LA for Cine Gear Expo, a two-day showcase of all manner of production things: grip gear, lighting, camera accessories, and so on.

It is quite literally the hottest equipment show around…

Sunflowers: two VistaBeam 600s fill the shadows.

Day 4 - We have a 3pm call for a 4pm start (we’re skewing later in the day as we need to shoot nighttime footage) and plan to shoot to midnight, covering the climactic dinner and post-dinner scenes.

Maelstrom - Production (part 1)

Adam Wilt | 06/17- 05:50 PM

Still life with water bottle: An EX1 sports a DvRig Junior; Alan Hereford’s homebrew DvRig is at the bottom of the picture.

Day 0 - Finishing up our preproduction for Rob Nilsson’s film, “Maelstrom”, Tim and I head up to San Francisco and Emeryville to pick up gear. Videofax has an EX1 with wide-angle adaptor to back up ours and serve as a B camera, and Chater Camera has two Lectrosonics wireless systems with Sonotrim mikes to supplement my two existing Sony WRR/WRT-28 wirelesses with ECM-77s.

It’s not the budget, it’s where you put the camera!

Equipment doesn’t make the image; people do. I proved this on a music video recently where we had more people than equipment.
