The new Sony NX5U is the companies newest prosumer camera designed to take the place of its current HDV cameras. The NX5 is part of Sony's new line of NXCAM cameras, and just as HDV replaced miniDV, NXCAM is designed to replace HDV. The NX5 records 1080i 60i, 30P and 24P as well as 720P 60P all to SD cards or Memory Sticks. But it doesn't end there, the NX5 also comes equipped with the HXR-FMU128 Flash Memory recorder. This 128GB hard drive unit is capable of recording over 700 minuets of the cameras highest quality 1080i HD. With two 32GB SD cards and one 128GB Flash unit, you can record for 1,068 minuets or roughly 18 hours of Footage. Now thats just one way to shoot, you can also simultaneously record to both the flash unit and the the card media giving you a back up of your footage, or you can have a copy for you (flash memory) and a copy for the client(card media). Or you can shoot Standard Definition on one and High Definition on the other. You can even choose to have one media record with the button on the hand grip and the other media record with the button on the top handle. This camera system allows you to choose the work flow that works best for you and your clients. Oh I forgot to mention, it can over crank to 120FPS.</div><div><br /></div><div edited="true"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-family:Helvetica;font-size:medium;"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "></div></span></div></span></div>Moderatorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00232118057128770130noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-333188697893949654.post-81795745286797403442010-03-01T12:27:00.000-08:002010-03-01T12:30:16.890-08:00Another successful show put to bed.Another successful show put to bed.<br /><br />Picture This just completed the ADP General Session for their presence at the National Automobile Dealers association in Orlando, FL. With a skeleton crew, we flew out to Orlando where I met up with a local team to set up for the show.The hotel was not able to get us into the room until midnight so we pulled an all-nighter. In the morning the Director took over the helm and lead a fresh crew through a marathon of rehearsals right up until showtime when I returned from my sleep to assist the crew with the show. Live events are known for their long and unusual hours but even still, I am rather proud of this one: 4am pacific time through 10:30 am <span style="font-weight: bold;">the next day</span> eastern time! After that, we headed over to the ADP booth at the convention center where we shot a short video to be sent out on webcast as an "Almost Live" broadcast. The sounds of power saws and people shouting and banging around in the background really helped put across the hive of activity as hundreds of people got ready to greet the public! Another Picture This Development on display was the iPhone display at the booth which demonstrated the new iPhone Dealer App. We also developed a web interface for auto app sign up, through our partners at Feedia .<br /><br />Getting home just long enough to sneeze, Perry and the crew shot another webcast, much more extensive this time, and then turned right around and flew down to Southern California for another ADP event, Pacesetters. Talk about frequent flyer miles, PDX airport security greets him by name and it's NOT because his photo is posted by the xray machine. :)<br /><br />All in all, it was a great success. The client seemed really pleased with the results. The local crew did great. We received many positive comments. While we were in Florida, we even had a chance to visit our Uncle Walt. I think he might just be your uncle too.Josh Kottlerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10195171712829116380noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-333188697893949654.post-20283185805891843182010-02-09T10:59:00.000-08:002010-02-09T11:13:16.198-08:00Canon EOS 7D Digital SLR<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixN_BPMkIJM7mS8A2y4rQnmzEQrZNWQ6dHIlCYOLuB9W3WLMwf9vWXN9v627LSRfYZ6lNOwUrifzCGvdq_KSp5xLmfMKdwIwxkZbwYh6iERTYY1IBrJ3gxisusHzeSbDXDTu4u0s11WemS/s1600-h/7d_586x225.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 77px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixN_BPMkIJM7mS8A2y4rQnmzEQrZNWQ6dHIlCYOLuB9W3WLMwf9vWXN9v627LSRfYZ6lNOwUrifzCGvdq_KSp5xLmfMKdwIwxkZbwYh6iERTYY1IBrJ3gxisusHzeSbDXDTu4u0s11WemS/s200/7d_586x225.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436321301689820082" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRIViD3oAtXkwEutz1R25AIslvXz7dWRnPjnhmVTF_ELcLxQptEafDFEIecHjanB2bPUiNe6HAEHqcDAo8EjMn7Wl0Ix5HX0b8IckUAdj-WiG8TlPWon7uGop7THiePs6XiYB3uaFx9Bw2/s1600-h/icon_18_mp_104x54.gif"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 104px; height: 54px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRIViD3oAtXkwEutz1R25AIslvXz7dWRnPjnhmVTF_ELcLxQptEafDFEIecHjanB2bPUiNe6HAEHqcDAo8EjMn7Wl0Ix5HX0b8IckUAdj-WiG8TlPWon7uGop7THiePs6XiYB3uaFx9Bw2/s200/icon_18_mp_104x54.gif" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436321018964541618" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkPbiPWpqhoZSASjtbeUjUxTVlWJDTh9GkhWdf-0KbvVDqElm7VmYvcBIZbMxMkkvOvMo-vVHpGODE6fhYbh0Ysldvdh5ngOozOzbN3iQQsABCIvpgsu3WQuA5mZhMEHty7t1HFqhJcUTV/s1600-h/icon_fullhd_1080.gif"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 104px; height: 54px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkPbiPWpqhoZSASjtbeUjUxTVlWJDTh9GkhWdf-0KbvVDqElm7VmYvcBIZbMxMkkvOvMo-vVHpGODE6fhYbh0Ysldvdh5ngOozOzbN3iQQsABCIvpgsu3WQuA5mZhMEHty7t1HFqhJcUTV/s200/icon_fullhd_1080.gif" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436321012712701186" /></a><br /><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Yes, It's here, Stills and full HD. come on in and check it out.<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:medium;"><span class="overview_title" style="font-weight: bold; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFF00;">A Whole New Class of EOS.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFF00;"><img src="http://www.usa.canon.com/sys/images/spacer.gif" width="528" height="7" alt="" border="0" /></span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:medium;"><span class="overview_text" style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:11px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFF00;">With a host of brand new features designed to enhance every facet of the photographic process, from still images to video, the new EOS 7D represents a whole new class of camera.</span><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFF00;">Made to be the tool of choice for serious photographers and semi-professionals, the EOS 7D features an all-new 18.0 Megapixel APS-C size CMOS sensor and Dual DIGIC 4 Image Processors, capturing tremendous images at up to ISO 12800 and speeds of up to 8 fps. The EOS 7D has a new all cross-type 19-point AF system with improved AI Servo II AF subject tracking and user-selectable AF area selection modes for sharp focus no matter the situation. The EOS 7D's Intelligent Viewfinder, an entirely newly-designed technology, provides approximately 100% coverage and displays user-selected AF modes as well as a spot metering circle and on demand grid lines. New iFCL Metering with 63-zone dual-layer metering system uses both focus and color information to provide accurate exposure even in difficult lighting. The EOS 7D also captures Full HD video at 30p (29.97 fps), 24p (23.976 fps) and 25p with an array of manual controls, including manual exposure during movie shooting and ISO speed selection. The EOS 7D features a magnesium alloy body that is dust- and weather-resistant and shutter durability of up to 150,000 cycles. Compatible with over 60 EF and EF-S lenses as well as with EOS System accessories, the creative opportunities - not just with stills but also with video - are beyond amazement. </span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFF00;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);

The histogram is a bar chart that shows the distribution of tones in an image. Black is on the far left edge, white is on the right, and everything else is in between.</span></p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFF00;"><a name="jump" style="text-decoration: underline; "></a></span><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFF00;">By learning to interpret what the histogram is telling you, you can take much of the guesswork out of correcting bad photos and discover ways to make good photos even better. Usually, you want photos with as broad a range of tones as you can get. Think about boxes of crayons: you can create a much more detailed image with 64 different crayons than you can with just eight. Likewise, if the bars in the histogram are crammed together in a narrow space, your image probably doesn’t have the resources it needs to depict subtle detail.</span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFF00;">With a well-exposed image, the histogram’s bars will stretch across the full range of the graph. If your histogram’s bars are clumped on either the left or the right side, the image is probably underexposed (lacking good highlights) or overexposed (lacking good shadows), respectively. If the bars don’t stretch to either edge, then your image lacks contrast.</span></p><div><h2 size="17px" color="initial" style="border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-width: initial; border- font-style: normal; margin-top: 30px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFF00;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" font-weight: normal; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Reprinted by permssion of Ben Long:</span></span></span></h2><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: normal; font-family:Helvetica;font-size:medium;"><a href="http://www.completedigitalphotography.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">www.com</span>pletedigitalphotography.com</a>.</span></div></div></span>Moderatorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00232118057128770130noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-333188697893949654.post-87099073212763256322010-01-20T09:33:00.000-08:002010-01-20T09:55:36.715-08:00Another Succesful Event!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmLZyKOQPxUY_WMvw9sUqJx_o1LjbaAtiivtWj4Re-2pS0wiv1NsPcVy4Jz9Byew0d14zxAhD826KFi3R5zCquMy-oASAo9cytWmAC2oyvBH50SfMVz3gp9EdGdbPxSRJ8oZp3OP0HMs4/s1600-h/IMG_0457.jpeg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 321px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmLZyKOQPxUY_WMvw9sUqJx_o1LjbaAtiivtWj4Re-2pS0wiv1NsPcVy4Jz9Byew0d14zxAhD826KFi3R5zCquMy-oASAo9cytWmAC2oyvBH50SfMVz3gp9EdGdbPxSRJ8oZp3OP0HMs4/s320/IMG_0457.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428881874975332626" border="0" /></a><br />I am glad to announce that another successful show is in the can. We recently descended into the depths of the waterfront marriott and navigated the most confusing elevator button labeling system ever devised by mankind to set up for a truly unique corporate awards ceremony. The show kicked off with a re-cut of MJ's "Thriller" edited and overdubbed with a Michael Jackson sound alike changing the lyrics to reflect the nature of Printer/Copier sales and service. Around the time the Vincent Price voiceover started, about a dozen professionally made up zombies ambled into the room and flopped onto the stage just in time to be reanimated into Jackson Backup dancers. The dancers were amazing! We put on a great light show, video was handled through HD projectors spraying widescreen 9x16' surfaces and the sound system really got to go through a workout.<br /><br />If only all corporate events could be this fun.<br /><br />At the event's conclusion, our crew came in loaded for bear because we had to get the whole show out the door in 90 minutes. We would usually expect a strike this size to tack 3-4 hours. everyone worked together like a finely tuned machine. Jonathan set to work re-setting the projectors and screens for the events banquet portion while I coordinated with the DJ to make all the pieces come together. The first show got broken down with twelve minutes to spare!<br />...The rhumors are true, Picture This is, in fact, awesome.Josh Kottlerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10195171712829116380noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-333188697893949654.post-708240098165784612010-01-11T12:09:00.000-08:002010-01-11T12:15:33.477-08:00<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">Follow the Blog- Luke</span></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"></span><br /></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">Register to follow the Picture This Blog, get updates on our new equipment , and production info in the Portland Area ,</span></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"> PLUS receive 10.00 off your next rental!</span></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"></span><br /></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">So easy.

Paired with our New PDW-800 you have a winning combination.</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(48, 48, 48); font-family:arial, verdana, lucida, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;">The PDW-F1600 is a compact HD recorder which provides outstanding picture quality of MPEG HD422 as well as an eight-channel (HD-SDI), 24-bit audio recording capability. The foundation of the PDW-F1600 deck incorporates the features of the PDW-HD1500, and acts as more than just file-based recording deck. With its insert/assemble editing capability, it can be used as a recorder in a linear editing system - just like a conventional VTR. 23.98P and SD legacy formats are supported as standard. What's unique about this deck is its ability to operate on AC, DC or power. With its large 4.3-inch* LCD and built-in speaker, it performs as a versatile and high-quality recorder which is suitable for both in-house and field operations. It comes equipped with a multi-format up/down converter, which is highly useful when employing both HD- and SD-format materials at the same time. *Measured diagonally.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, verdana, lucida, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:100%;color:#303030;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:12px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, verdana, lucida, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:100%;color:#303030;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:12px;">Contact Ben or AJ for more details</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, verdana, lucida, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:100%;color:#303030;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:12px;">P</span></span></div>Moderatorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00232118057128770130noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-333188697893949654.post-14805085632048100712009-11-24T11:17:00.000-08:002009-11-24T11:20:02.679-08:00Standalone audio for transcription, Red Camera<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO0SeD0B5RYQbxZAPZgcutIRsh3Op37FXzoGOT_hTkuqNMOF5wgg_11aruAj3bccaBoiV_iHmSarSGeuqoV139IiTRXJCC2IgSsODcXzt2li8nnoA8DEhm0mrB6c0SYvewkFFUqoU9qgHv/s1600/images.jpeg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 98px; height: 130px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO0SeD0B5RYQbxZAPZgcutIRsh3Op37FXzoGOT_hTkuqNMOF5wgg_11aruAj3bccaBoiV_iHmSarSGeuqoV139IiTRXJCC2IgSsODcXzt2li8nnoA8DEhm0mrB6c0SYvewkFFUqoU9qgHv/s200/images.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407752034127447490" /></a><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:Helvetica;font-size:medium;">Zoom H4n Handy Recorder:<br /><br />The H4n is a versatile 4 track mp3/WAV recorder with built in stereo mic.

We provided the production team with 14 Hi Def Cameras and enough P2 cards to capture the entire event, as well as all grip and lighting for seven interview suites. We were responsible for overseeing the four track audio recording of each band's interview and 24 track recordings for each act to play in each of the four venues. This was a major logistical coup. We were able to put together 8 multitrack systems and live recording engineers, as well as coordinate crew and systems to be in place and ready to roll in time for each segment of the production.</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "><br /></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; ">On Friday, October 19th, we set four four-track systems, wireless lavs, cameras and lighting into four suites on the top floor of one of Portland's fine hotels.

The quarters were very close with lights placed inside cupboards and technicians setup on the beds or standing at the kitchenette's sink. The RVs were located right on the MAX lines, so audio was a major concern. Four band members, two cam ops, one sound recordist, a director, and the person conducting the interviews all squeezed into the RV for an hour. Oh, did I mention that it was raining! While that was going on, the live recording crews set up 24 track recording rigs at the four bars while the bands started rolling in.

The grip department provided the 3-Ton grip truck fully loaded with a tungsten and HMI packages, dolly's and distribution.<br /><br />September brought an independent feature produced by a local company "Exterior Films". The untitled drama will be shooting in the portland area and Picture This gear will be there. The Grip truck with full tungsten package will be on site.

Thank you for thinking of Picture This for your production needs in China. We’ve been offering production services in China for the past several years through our Bejing office, also known as Jing Xian. Our office abroad provides crew and equipment, reducing the need for journalist visas and traveling with large camera equipment, both of which can create quite a hassle. With our local crew and equipment, we’re able make the production process in that country much easier to accomplish. <br /><br />Over the past month, Jing Xian has been staying busy with a variety of productions. Recently, the producer of a Korean War documentary contacted Picture This to help him capture interviews from Chinese war veterans. Our Bejing based crew provided field producing, translation services, photography, lighting, audio, and transportation through both the cities of Bejing and Nanjing for the shoot. Equipment included a Sony EX1 camera package, audio kit and lighting kit. The client was very happy with the quality of service commenting, “[The DP] is taking extreme measures to light rooms well and capture pristine moments. [The fixer] seems to be helping me keep the costs down to remain within budget.” <br /><br />Most recently, we completed a green screen shoot for another Portland based client. While we have a range of cameras to choose from, including the Sony Z1U, Panasonic HDX900, Sony F900 and more, this client also chose to shoot with the Sony EX1 camera. Again, we provided the crew and equipment for photography, lighting and audio services. <br /><br />We continue to receive inquiries about our services in China and are happy to accommodate. Next time you need to shoot in China, think of Picture This and our Bejing office Jing Xian!Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06963305728119026271noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-333188697893949654.post-50417657731826265552009-07-24T09:26:00.000-07:002009-07-24T09:33:52.358-07:00Legislation Helps to Increase Film Jobs and RevenueVisiting Salem, writing our legislators, making our voices heard, it's all paid off. Governor Kulongoski signed into law yesterday a bill that expands the Oregon Production Investment Fund (OPIF). Oregon’s legislature passed SB621 which increases the maximum amount of tax credits made available to fund the program from $5 million to $7.5 million per year. By passing SB 621 into law, Oregon’s film and TV industry is sure to continue its record growth. Oregon has already secured enough projects in 2009 to make this year the best year for Oregon’s film and Television industry in over fifteen years. The Governor said, “Oregon’s film and video industry is a bright light in Oregon’s economy. When projects are produced here in Oregon, it means family wage jobs for local residents, and substantial revenue for local, small businesses. By signing this bill into law, I expect that we’ll see more growth, more employment, and more revenue for our state.”<br /> <br />A rising tide lifts all boats and we're excited that the House, the Senate and the Governor saw the value in this bill. We look forward to increased production in Oregon!Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06963305728119026271noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-333188697893949654.post-87837613839597054772009-07-23T09:16:00.000-07:002009-07-23T09:27:31.087-07:00Picture This Production Services Sponsors the American Cancer Society Relay for Life<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkC-BE7Pwvy8RMg0L8QCdvhtTNEYP8OZbw6M592gD2b9IUWHEL8vdQCz_xEEpw7V34amW_6-DDLKgohFOtsxkxgxc_EJwWlPZ2ZTqbcILr7cAZYSRNYH-ThN6f-ODoK66AvVUmIHab9cCw/s1600-h/Picture+3.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 265px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkC-BE7Pwvy8RMg0L8QCdvhtTNEYP8OZbw6M592gD2b9IUWHEL8vdQCz_xEEpw7V34amW_6-DDLKgohFOtsxkxgxc_EJwWlPZ2ZTqbcILr7cAZYSRNYH-ThN6f-ODoK66AvVUmIHab9cCw/s400/Picture+3.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361693013364315938" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhck2rzEelru2EUSUCeftICf-ouIPBQR_W0HKiarUjiXUKay8HD9FHyC7uYnq2nCdKyHIA1V0DiePvlkvmWPvxncG7VmEhGSlI45oVel_dtSP9R34YDx6bKap8Ecrye3f1eoewtO8ZSdrUV/s1600-h/Picture+2.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhck2rzEelru2EUSUCeftICf-ouIPBQR_W0HKiarUjiXUKay8HD9FHyC7uYnq2nCdKyHIA1V0DiePvlkvmWPvxncG7VmEhGSlI45oVel_dtSP9R34YDx6bKap8Ecrye3f1eoewtO8ZSdrUV/s400/Picture+2.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361693005891952434" /></a><br /><br /><br />Cancer is a disease that has touched all of us - whether it be a family member, friend, co-worker, neighbor or even our own bodies. In an effort to help fight back against the disease, Picture This Production Services sponsored this year's SW Neighborhoods Relay for Life, a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. The Relay is a 24 hour event where teams of 8-15 people have at least one member of their team walking the track all day and all night. This effort signifies the fact that cancer is a disease that never sleeps and we won't rest until we find a cure.<br /><br />Picture This provided all the AV equipment so that all of the event's speakers, bands and night long movie needs were taken care of. "Picture This really increased the production value of our event. We're grateful for their support of such a great cause!" said event chair Lisa Cicala. Picture This also formed a team for the event, raised money and shot some footage thanks to teammates Will Walle and Travis Buffington. Video will be posted soon.<br /><br />To learn more about the event, visit www.relayforlife.org/swneighborhoodsor.

As tends to happen in the Portland summers, production picked up starting June 1. Right on schedule. The influx of projects has included work with the Wii, Michael Jordan, Microsoft's Zune, and even a project entitled "Poop." Talk about variety!<br /><br />The Live Event Department has been busy with fundraisers, webcasts, meetings and corporate events. <br /><br />Our equipment inventory has grown to include the Sony PDW-700 XDCAM, an HD lipstick camera (the Sony HXR-MC1), an on location distribution center, a remote tripod head and a beautiful Panasonic 27" HD monitor that works perfectly with our HD switching system.<br /><br />The stage has been rented for a number of projects including a commercial shoot, still photo shoot, webcast and talk show scenario. <br /><br />All this, and there's still one more week of June to go! <br /><br />Of course, we work hard at Picture This, but we also like to play. We kick started the summer with an outdoor BBQ. Who doesn't love having the chance to kick back and relax on a sunny afternoon with your co-workers? We hope to do it again sometime soon. In the meantime, it's back to work. And we appreciate every bit of it.Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06963305728119026271noreply@blogger.com0
