They’ve shot music videos, short films, commercials and more Vimeo videos than anyone can imagine. One place where I haven’t heard about a lot of usage (as of yet anyway) is in multicamera concert production. There’s very real reasons why you wouldn’t want to use any small-form-factor DSLRs (with no gen lock, timecode input or external monitoring) in a multicam production. But that doesn’t mean that they can’t get the job done.

Apple today released Aperture 3.0.1, addressing many of the issues I raised with version 3.0 2.) I’ve been busy on my iPhoto ‘09 to Aperture 3.0 upgrade saga, but did something incredibly dumb, losing me hundreds of hours of effort. Executive brief: Apple today released Aperture 3.0.1 fixing many known issues (no guarantees/reports it fixes’em all), and I was stupid and deleted a crucial file, aka the critical and massive iPhoto Library I’d been working on. Remember, kids - your time is more valuable than the cost of yet another hard drive, and the 5 minutes it takes to set up a backup copy rolling before leaving for the night. Even for personal projects. Shut up. It was late. I was on the phone. I was busy. I wish I’d been drinking.

The trip this time presents some unique challenges in terms of weather, logistics and my personal shot goals.  The first thing I needed to consider is TSA flight requirements and what I’d have to check, vs. carry on.  Additionally I needed to check Olympic guidelines for any restrictions on equipment at events.  So far I’m in luck as the international carry-on rules seem to have settled a tad since Christmas.  Additionally, according to Vancouver2010.com, it seems that as long as I’m not re-broadcasting live, I am OK.  There are some restrictions there, but nothing I can’t overcome.

Sea&Sea just released this baby and it’ll hit 60 meters in depth in stride.  So now I can shoot spectacular stills as well as 1080p.
