Last week/weekend I was with the crew that went to Delaware to get a Pete's Big Tv's warehouse in shape for Springsteen's upcoming tour. I was planning to spend 4 long days repairing cables, but was treated to a trip to a music video shoot. The cameras on the shoot was by far the coolest part of the trip. The DP was able to use lenses for 35mm film cameras on a HD camera. There was a "converter" involved that allowed the HD's OHB film off of spinning ground glass, creating the "film" look. They looked amazing. Also, being able to sit back and watch a music video shoot will be beneficial for when we are placed to work in that environment. I am looking forward to going back to Delaware and repairing a lot of more cable.

Delaware
The past week has been a great learning experience. For class we were asked by Pete's Big TV's, one of the largest video companies in the world to fly to Delaware wednesday night through sunday night and help them rearrange their wearhouse and help them prep for their biggest tour, Bruce Springstein.
We arrived wednesday and got aquainted. Thursday, halfway into our work we recieved a call that a video needed to be shot in New Jersey for Bruce's wife. We dropped what we were doing and headed up to help. It was awesome seeing a more film related shoot. One part that stood out was that the Assistant Director, being used to film, was worried about us running tape while the band was jamming between takes. To this, Bill Callison replied, "It's just tape." You don't have to develop it, its not that expensive and you just have to throw it in a deck and digatize, why not run tape, you might find that one amazing shot you werent able to find otherwise.
Saturday and Sunday we were back in Delaware working on fixing and sorting cables and got a lot done. All were happy with the amount we had completed and we proceded to fly home. Im very happy with the experience and would be honoured to go again.

Rushed by adrenaline and Red Bull, soaked from head to toe, loading out and coiling cable in the hardest rain I've ever seen with the most talented student video crew in the nation...
All I could think about was asking my friends back home....What did YOU do on YOUR summer vacation?
I am so blessed, honored and mostly PROUD to be a Film and Video Student at Purdue University.
