Scott Gentry

Scott Gentry started his career as a child actor then moving to ABC All My Children first in production straight out of college, then in front of the camera for a short stint as a regular walk-on (woo-hoo!).

Scott also worked the stadium camera for NY Jets and Giants games, as well a a multitude of events at the Meadowlands arena in NJ. From there he got into publishing and 6 months after sending his resume to DV magazine, he was the publisher. DV went from last to first place and Scott moved on to AV Video Multimedia Producer and led the team to turn that into Studio Monthly and launch Studio Daily.

Scott has since put together the PVC by gathering the best writers and video gurus in the market. In addition, there are several more Creative Coalition sites planned for 2008-2009.

Woah!  Red Scarlet No More!

That’s right, with the introduction of cameras such as the new Canon 5D Mark II shooting HD (trying to order one for myself!), Jim Jannard, Red president, says the Scarlet 3K camera is all different because the “market has changed”.

Given that Jim had also announced earlier in the month that RED was working on a DSLR that would be able to shoot video.  Pretty interesting.  Buy the Canon 5D Mark II now (released Novemeber) or wait longer for the RED...Interesting times people.

The Olympics

I attended as a fan, and a camera geek.

image

I was lucky enough to have attended the first week of the Beijing Olympics and all I can say is WOW!

From an attendee perspective and seeing my first Olympic Games in person, to a traveler and visiting China for the first time, to a video production geek spending way too much time watching how the Olympics was being covered by the world...the experience was one of a lifetime for me.

Bruce Johnson wrote about the job he’d like to have at the Olympics, and I’d like to add that I would have been happy with almost any job. 

imageI really enjoyed being able to see the array of camera positions throughout each of the events I was able to attend.  Having been a camera operator for Pro Football among other things, the Olympics would have been a dream job.  Every shot a potential shot of a lifetime!  I have great admiration for many of the camera guys as positions required fast movement, constant attention, and of course they were live for all the world to see.  Some of the camera positions, like Bruce mentioned, were fantastic.  Swimming comes to mind with the under water cameras, the water level boom camera, overhead cameras and more.

My wife and I stayed at the NBC hotel (Crown Plaza) across from the Birds Nest, and were able to rub elbows with the producers, directors, on-air talent and more for breakfast and late night drinks.  I have to tip my hat to the entire NBC crew for doing a fantastic job presenting the Olympics in myriad of channels and online alternatives.  Moreover, the friendliness of everyone we met both within NBC and in China in particular was a welcomed treat. 

Now that I am home in the US and watching the rest of the Games from afar, I have a deeper appreciation for the location, the people, and fantastic show.

Do I Look Fat in this Redesign?

The question everyone hates to hear?

We’re pretty confident this new look for ProVideo Coalition is slimming, but we have to ask.

IE users will experience an issue with Quickmenu for a few days.  Sorry for the trouble.

Please Pardon Our Appearance

Under Construction this weekend.

image

...and about time really!

We’ve been working on a redesign for some time, and waiting to get rid of that silly logo and “beta” sign. 

This weekend, we’ll start the process of a ground-up redesign.  While we could have made a duplicate site and flipped a switch - we’ve instead decided do this in pieces to get the design up faster.  So as you peruse the different sites on ProVideo Coalition, you may encounter the new design, or the old, or even a dead link (though we’re hoping against that), for the next couple of days.

So, please forgive the temporary design trauma, and pardon our temporary link goofiness. 

Feel free to drop us a line with comments. sgentry (at) provideocoalition.com
