NAB 2016: Everything you need to know PT.2
As I emerge from the customary post-NAB haze and try to formulate a coherent analysis of the 2016 show, perhaps the most striking realisation is that despite pacing the halls for four long days, I barely scratched the surface. The scale of the event, much like Las Vegas itself, is simply extraordinary, with over 100,000 [...]

Finance: Considering your options
As a freelance cameraman working on varied productions, you need to be sure you always have the right kit for the job. Acquiring the latest equipment is a necessity, not a luxury; the difficulty is being certain you will be able to manage the cost. How can a freelancer be sure he can finance [...]

GTC Awards 2016
The annual Guild Of Television Cameramen ( GTC ) Open Day and AGM was held recently in the Oxfordshire countryside on a sunny Sunday. It’s a while since I’ve attended one, and the welcome was as warm and friendly as it always has been. Organisations like these must be incredibly useful for freelance camera operators, [...]

NAB speculations and expectations
With NAB fast approaching, speculation is growing about the forthcoming launches and announcements we can expect there. Logic (and Moore's Law) dictates that at some point we will see a 4K, 3 x 2/3" sensor B4 mount camcorder, and my expectation is that Sony will get there first.

The Photography Show Review
Having just returned from The Photography Show (TPS) it was interesting to compare and contrast it with the video equivalent, BVE, and to see the cross-over in products and services offerings. It was my first visit back to the UK’s leading photo show in nearly 20 years, when it was called Focus, having spent the [...]

BVE 2016: Raising the bar
Azule’s Peter Savage managed to drag himself away from his countless BVE meetings (and the show bar) for long enough to discover that ‘easy-to-use’ was the tipple of choice at this year’s show.

So trying to gain some perspective on the value of the show is interesting. Attendee numbers were apparently similar to last year, and although I'm always fairly sceptical of the official [...]
