Did I mention that I'm still alive?

Because this website doesn't show it.

Sorry about that.

I would promise to fix it soon, update more, etc ... but ....

LLC

Alright! It doesn't get much more official than this... I've been working in video for near to 7 years now and finally have done the 'grown up thing' and gotten my LLC, as well as started an official RBedford Productions, LLC bank account.

4) Need to work out my mic solution; some type of decent wireless lav linked to an... H4N?

Canon 7D

Yeah. Got it. Also sold my Canon 50D for a decent price. Included my old zoom lens, so I'm sans zoom for the next little bit. I have my goal set for a GOOD zoom lens for this camera, as glass is so important to what I'll be doing with it.

Now I just need some projects to shoot!! I have one that I will be working on over the course of the next year, but I'm so busy at Vann's right now I hardly have time to breathe, much less travel for an hour to get to my videography project destination. :(

I'm not sure what my order of "kitting out" my camera will be. First will probably be an exceptional zoom lens, then some type of external audio recorder for sure (or at LEAST a little mic to use with it); I have a tripod available that is quite nice, albeit heavy. It'd be nice to have some type of glide-cam for it, I should look into the Philip Bloom pocket dolly... oh, nevermind, I just did and its $1k :-P

Anyway, its Christmas and life is busy! Hope you all have a great season.

Current Project

Tightly fit in between my full-time sales job, I have a couple video projects going.

1) Working on a ... documentary style shoot for a ranch in Southwestern Montana

2) Putting together web videos and possible DVDs for my friends at backpackinglight.com

3) Got to edit a little video that my workplace uses demonstrating the awesomeness of Panamax Powercenters. (we catch a regular surge protector [read: socket extender] on fire)


I'm hoping to be shooting a video this summer that could involve some hiking through a fairly remote area of Yellowstone Nat'l Park. This project has been a couple years in the making, so we'll see....

Helena, MT... eh?

Anyone hiring a Videographer / Editor? Or heck, even an Apple systems admin or something. I _DO_ have my ACTC.... ;-)
