Here’s an older timelapse from a while back just before I had knee surgery. April and I plunkered down on a new teevee so we needed a nice stand for it. Bought this little gem and assembled it one evening under the watchful eye of April, the cats and the dog. Every time I watch it I find something else neat to look at.

Dan’s Comp will be featuring one of their pro team riders every month in 2010 on vitalbmx. I recently went to Atlanta to film with Corey and Nathan, along with some other dudes. Corey’s video dropped today on Vital and Nathan’s will be dropping a little later, maybe April? We filmed all this in the course of 2 days. First day was a late start with an outdoor park, with lights luckily. 2nd day was spent at a local college campus and then we finished that night up at the X games park, who graciously gave us an after hours session. We had hoped to film again the next day but the rain maker had other plans.

I shot and edited this video a while back, with the help of my good buds Jeremy Hyler and Mark Steinberg. Its for the dotmatrix project, a Greensboro based operation about the love of music and the things that surround it. We also produced 2 other videos that night, Randy Furches and Kristen Leigh. I chose to embed Morgan cause I really dig her style. Previously she had been doing things as a solo gig, but I really dig her 3 piece outfit here.

Went to pretty much my final doctors appointment today regarding me knee surgery from back in October. I’m 4 months out, which means the bone has grown over the screws and the graph has connected well. But my leg muscles still aren’t 100% yet. Probably sitting at about 70%. I’m still working on my exercises and range of motion so hopefully in about a month i’ll be doing trains with my bro’s at Ray’s!

Every year I hold on to a few clips from each trip and mix them all up for a year end montage for Vital BMX, AKA “The Mangler Montage”.

Tascam just stepped it UP!

2 02 2010

Tascam’s previous field recorder was the HD-P2, which is a 2 channel recorder with timecode. Its a pretty sweet recorder.

Tascam HD-P2 recorder

But now they’ve stepped up their game. In the past couple of years multi channel recorders have been getting cheaper and better. And with the explosion of DSLR film making it creates the stronger need for a dedicated soundie, thus improving our need, which is a huuuuge plus. One thing that really hasn’t been improving lately is the quality to price ratio with sound gear, until now.

Tascam DR-680

Tascam’s DR-680 is possibly a game changer. yeah it doesn’t have timecode, but its not like you can’t stick timecode into an unused input, CAUSE ITS GOT 6! And in the game I’m in, timecode isn’t an issue. So for less than $1000 you’re getting a 6 channel recorder. My idea setup is running my 4 mixer inputs to channels 1-4 and then sending a mix to 5 and 6. Post will wet their panties. Buuuut for now, my current mixer doesn’t have dedicated outs for each input. I’ve got the older PSC mk4 mark2 mixer. although a 4 channel mixer, no dedicated outs. Thus requiring me to step up to the Alphamix or ideally, SD 552.
