Office Hours for Feb 14, 2022 - Office Hours 692
00:00 Intro
02:12 In our show last night, at 1 min till live, 14 mins into the countdown our ATEM 2 M/E lost connection to all our controls.
04:42 What is a good way for video creators to normalize dialog?
10:18 Do we think that Dre was responsible for getting the Apple Home Kit set for the Half Time Show?
11:21 What speeds did Alex see from his Starlink yesterday?
14:58 What are your favorite take-always from the Super Bowl? Interesting production techniques?
20:25 I have Shure SE-215 in-ear-monitors. They sound great but that plastic capsule is too big for my ears. It's uncomfortable. Suggestions for smaller IEM's with a budget around $100.00.
22:17 What were your favorite Super Bowl commercials?
28:32 Chris -- please explain your mic chain lower third. What is it?
30:51 Alex used to use a PR40 mic (I believe), what's being used now, and why the change?
33:30 Pat Baltzell is using a Yamaha 01V96 mixer next to his DiGiCo SD5 for comms. Wouldn't a proper comms solution (Unity) be more effective?
36:20 Has anyone on the panel used the Klark Teknik mic booster to add some gain to a dynamic mic?
38:43 During the Super Bowl halftime show they used several 8k 360VR cameras for a second screen experience. What type of video switcher would you use for that?
41:56 I’ve been asked to do some green screen editing in a month or so. I don’t have the footage yet, but want to practice. Are there any good sources for sample green screen video that I could access for free?
46:53 Would you recommend having two switchers before buying a 2M/E switcher?
48:20 The DiGiGrid IOX (12-input SoundGrid audio interface) went from $1849 in 2020 to $3199. Could the chip shortage be the cause of said dramatic price increase?
49:42 Are there any 1/4" patch bays that are "straight through" without two rows of jacks? Hosa makes a 12-point XLR patchbay ([link]) but I'd be looking for 1/4" connectors for synthesizers.
50:37 Does the use of noise cancellation mean that one doesn't need to worry about the sound quality of their room or studio?
51:53 I've heard of large-scale productions and events using "10 codes" for radio/intercom communication despite not interoperating with first responders or public safety authorities. Why could that be?
53:05 What was the DIY teleprompter glass supplier mentioned last week?
53:51 What was the outcome of the Alex's Starlink setup? Last I saw it was set up, moving, and preliminary speed tests were variable. Thoughts?
55:19 Is Noise Assist software or hardware?
59:57 ** 2nd Hour Panel Discussion **
01:16:02 What do you do to keep the spark alive with your chosen profession?
01:28:32 Hypercard, did anyone else start with hypercard see the future for interactivity have a love of photography and spend the rest of their life merging the possibilities?
01:32:51 After you arrived into this industry, was it everything you thought it would be?
01:38:40 What other industries are you flirting with?
01:43:38 Tell us about your first live stream or virtual event? What worked and what didn't?
01:50:29 So far what has been your most difficult career decision?
01:54:42 Who were your mentors and who were their mentors?
01:55:46 The saying goes, "When the student is ready, the teacher appears." Who has that been for you?
01:57:06 My introduction and love for the industry was through Alex, starting with him as a PA (as a college dropout), learning the craft to where I am now at F1, So thank you! Now I love tutoring newcomers to the industry, and hopefully be on the panel soon!
01:58:03 I found live event (AV production) to be a practical application of my video production background. Have not discovered the full income earning potential of creative content production. Do you produce art for passion or for profit?
01:59:49 Did anyone get there start with Channel One News?
02:03:06 Did Lois Celebrate Superb Owl Sunday?
