ExtraShot

In episode 36: Its been a while.... Steve’s travelled to Hong Kong and Paul’s been jetting off to Leeds.  NAB has also been and gone… lots of new kit… but we’re guessing the big news is RAW, and what that might mean to how we work. Oh, and Paul admits to a big mistake with the Canon C200. Is broadcast TV officially dead… and what are we all going to do now?  Far from being depressed, we take a look at what opportunities we might need to embrace.  Maybe computer generated presenters should be worried too! We’ve also been reassessing what extrashot should be.  What do you want to discuss in our virtual crew room?  Are endless camera reviews getting a little pointless?  Have a listen and do tell us what you think. Hope you enjoy this episode.

In episode 35: We know... it's a little late for the first episode of the new year, but we do hope all of you are having a busy start to 2018! The BSC Expo in London has now become our first "must go to" event of every year and 2018 certainly had a great buzz about the place with new camera launches and plenty of desirable gadgets. We talk to Barry Griffin from Canon, get surprised by RAW, and of course, reveal the Alexa LF with Marc Shipman-Mueller from Arri. After 90 years, the 2018 Oscars have finally nominated a female cinematographer.  Rachel Morrison could make history, but we wonder why hasn't there been more?  With new toys, a new studio and a touch of decorating, we hope you enjoy this packed episode.  Steve & Paul   Available on ExtraShot.co.uk Available on iTunes ExtraShot on YouTube ExtraShot on facebook Our twitters: @extrashotcafe @gomediavideo @paulream Links:  Arri Alexa LF https://www.arri.com/largeformat Canon C200 www.canon.co.uk/video-cameras/eos-c200 Sony Venice http://https://www.sony.co.uk Tokina 1.6x Expander http://www.tokinacinema.com Intel - Olympic drones https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCd6P7Ya160 Rachel Morrison - 2018 Oscars http://www.independent.co.uk BSC Expo http://www.bscexpo.com Kinefinity - Terra 4K http://www.kinefinity.com  

In episode 34: In this special Christmas episode, Steve and Paul are joined by Mark Langton for his annual festive quiz... and he manages to make us all look stupid! We also take a look at our favourite kit of the year, the jobs we've enjoyed and try to answer the old question of how to get a start in the industry. One prediction we can make for next year is that all the smart crews will be wearing our new cool shirt...  Steve removes his coat to reveal all.  A very happy Christmas to all our listeners and all the best for the New Year ahead.    Hope you enjoy Steve & Paul   Available on ExtraShot.co.uk Available on iTunes ExtraShot on YouTube ExtraShot on facebook Our twitters: @extrashotcafe @gomediavideo @paulream Links:  Sony Venice http://https://www.sony.co.uk Sharp 8C-B60A http://www.sharp-world.com Boston Dynamics - Atlas https://youtu.be/fRj34o4hN4I Symmetrical Eyes Indicate Dyslexia https://www.the-scientist.com Zheyun Crane 2 https://youtu.be/A1BKDxHsv_4 Demolition - cameraman picks wrong position https://youtu.be/IM7r4GQNecQ Rent Granada https://youtu.be/zFZaG6KGbvM Radio Rentals https://youtu.be/HWLnB1D89Mg 

In episode 33: Things start a little more seriously on this special Halloween episode…. and as yet another scandal effects the whole entertainment industry, Steve and Paul discuss whether saying nothing makes us all complicit. We re-visit an old subject with a few more suggestions of what we should all be called as Paul slams into reverse and changes his mind. How many left handed dyslexic vision recordists do you know?  We suspect there might be a few and wonder if it’s an unfair edge! We can all argue about which is the best camera to buy…. but can we agree on the 5 worst cameras ever made?  Give us your suggestions for the bottom 5 video. With very expensive viewfinders, kissing fish and a live delay… you’ll never get the teeshirt if you don’t listen!

In episode 32: In this sound recordists special, we finally get to talk with our old friend and mini-golf champion, Richard Eades.  The role of the location sound recordist has gone through enormous changes over recent years.  With the rise of ‘shooting PD’s’ and return of ‘separate sound’, how has the job changed?  Often expected to be a camera assistant or even now a DIT specialist, is this the best way to keep the diary full?  We also discover the easiest way to wind-up your own sound recordist in the middle of a busy day! EVA, URSA, Venice, Amsterdam… lots to discuss from this years exciting IBC show, but which camera do we think is going to replace the FS7 as the default choice for Television production managers? As Steve returns from cycling in Turkmenistan, and the Monkey has to change his pension arrangements, Paul needs to know what settings will make his F5 look like a 1970’s 8mm home movie camera? It really is a packed episode… enjoy.   Steve & Paul   Available on ExtraShot.co.uk Available on iTunes ExtraShot on YouTube ExtraShot on facebook Our twitters: @extrashotcafe @gomediavideo @paulream Links:  Richard Eades - Linkline http://linklinecrew.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Eades.pdf Ravensbourne College https://www.ravensbourne.ac.uk BBC Screen Test https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_Test One day to see Venice https://youtu.be/SxDzsue2Uc4 1st looks at the EVA1 https://youtu.be/NfJuz8Ox6uk  

In this episode, Steve and Paul discuss the dangers of discussing your next job in public places and then end up wondering where all the public spaces have gone! RED have announced they are going to sell a phone while Apple stores start selling everything you need for professional video from RED… coincidence or the beginnings of another shift in our industry? As extrashot produce their first video on drone racing, there’s a proposal to register any drone over 250 grams.  Is it a good idea or a total waste of time? With monkey news, bear stories, resolution rants, and even tales from the war, this really is a bumper summer episode you shouldn’t miss.

In episode 30: After a nail biting, foot squashing, media scrum of an election, things calm down again as we head into summer and wonder, what is the difference between a TV and movie camera? As new cameras are launched from Canon and Panasonic, Phill Lane from Top-Teks joins us to discuss the often neglected tripods we’ll need to rest them on! We discover a hidden gem of a studio down in Bournemouth and immediately get to work comparing Kino Flo and Lishuai soft LED lights. With the usual rants and light hearted clips, Steve decides he doesn’t want a pastry with that!

In episode 29: In this bumper episode, Paul and Steve are shocked by what didn't get launched at NAB this year, but our roving reporter, Adam Peariso, kindly gives us his take on the interesting new kit that was on display. Does anyone make a bad camera? Paul strives for perfection while Steve shows us his new white suit. As taxi drivers learn to be cameramen, we wonder whether cameramen need to learn to be taxi drivers! With music reviews, weather reports and a new ‘easy to use’ format, we hope you enjoy this packed episode.

In episode 28: As Steve realises his laptop could possibly explode, Paul wishes he was flying to NAB to see the rumoured new camera releases. Is this the year Sony replace the ageing F5, or has that happened already with the FS7II ? Amazon Prime has disappointed Paul while Steve is disappointed with the BBC… but on a lighter note Steve explains why Insurance isn’t boring! What generation are you… feeling to old to play with LEGO? With much more - and the launch of our new web site, we hope you enjoy this new episode.

In episode 27: The first episode of 2017...  This year has started well with Paul and Steve being employed again!  Steve's been working with real DOP's while Paul has been out with Trigger's broom. We also chat about the recent BSC Expo with Phill Lane of Top-Teks.  There was a great buzz about the show and many cameramen got to play with the Canon C700 for the first time.  Is this the camera to challenge Arri? With the usual industry rumours a few rants and an appeal for answers, we hope you enjoy this new episode.

In episode 26: For this special bumper holiday edition, Paul and Steve are joined by guest presenter and fellow camera freelancer, Mark Langton.  If our 2012 fantasy camera is now a reality, what do we want to see on our dream camera for 2022 ? Mark brings a welcome educational element to the show and helps us launch the new question/answer service... never be too embarrassed to ask a silly question again! We also chat to Mike Thomas from Top-Teks who gives us his choices of stocking fillers for the cameraman who has everything this Christmas.

In episode 25: After hearing cameramen refer to the famous 'VariCam look', Panasonic kindly lent us the new Cinema VariCam LT to see for ourselves.  Not wanting to repeat dry specifications freely available online, we give our views on whether owner operators should be considering this camera as their next 4K HDR purchase. Spike Geilinger is already using the VariCam LT on the BBC show ‘Britain’s Lost Masterpieces’.  Spike has successfully moved from freelance cameraman to being credited with producing, directing, photographing and even writing this beautiful series.  Apart from wanting his views on the camera, we ask if all cameraman should be looking to direct as a defence from the ‘self shooting’ revolution. As Netflix launch the most expensive TV drama ever, we wonder if there’s anything left for broadcast TV.  Steve takes his plane out for a spin to China and we search for more cameraman tips. enjoy… Steve and Paul   Available on ExtraShot.co.uk ExtraShot on facebook ExtraShot on Vimeo Our twitters: @extrashotcafe @gomediavideo @paulream Links:  Panasonic - VariCam LT http://pro-av.panasonic.net ExtraShot - VariCam LT Video review https://vimeo.com/191334230 BBC - Britain's Lost Masterpieces http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b07xjtbp The Mill - Blackbird https://vimeo.com/171939943 Mark Toia - My Future with RED 8K https://vimeo.com/184626729 Top-Teks http://www.topteks.com    

In episode 24: As Canon launch the camera of Steve’s dreams, we talk to Phill Lane of Top-Teks who’s actually felt the weight on his shoulder!  We also take a look at lightweight zooms and hear about the latest gadgets from IBC. In the week that the BBC announce the loss of The Great British Bake Off, Paul wonders if Channel 4 have paid too much for a tent.  Steve has a view on independent production and separates the wheat from the chaff. As usual, we ask all the important questions such as… When is one lens equivalent to another?.. or is shooting University Challenge still a challenge? It’s been a quiet month so Steve’s been catching up with drama on Netflix and Paul’s been stacking deckchairs while wondering if there’s money in shooting local news. Also, don’t forget your top cameraman tips… and enjoy.

Steve takes it all onboard with thousands watching his phone live so Extrashot tests it’s own broadcasting facilities… with slightly fewer viewers. Paul admits to a massive mistake and wonders what’s the best way to play it when you know you’ve had a bad day!  Sometimes it’s best not to have a credit.

In episode 22: Steve and Paul celebrate 2 years of podcasting and over 65,000 downloads! Paul steps into Dog Schidt Optics and chats to Richard Gale about his unique hand crafted lenses while Phil Lane explains why no new cameras is a good thing for all of us. Revel in a fantastic clip from 70s kids show Magpie, showcasing the latest camera technology of the time and when cameramen wore ties! Could that catch on again? Alarmingly, Steve tells us why he had to ring his client and ask for an ambulance! Thanks for taking the time to listen to us over the last 2 years.

In episode 21: As a U.S. Court decides a monkey can’t retain the copyright to his own work, Steve and Paul discuss the implications for freelance cameramen… and while we’re talking about legality, have you ever inadvertently broken the law while working? Paul Gwilliams reports back from NAB this year and gives us his impression of the affordable lens everyone is talking about. Finally, as a hard working freelance cameraman, what should ‘dress smart’ mean on a callsheet?

In episode 20: Steve & Paul are back from their European tour after travelling in style. There was just time for quick visits to both BSC and BVE shows in London before walking backwards past Steve's house on an ITV crime special. The results from the 2015 Extrashot Cameraman's Survey are now in and we reveal what piece of kit most people are going to buy this year.  But, have our rates actually gone up enough to afford it? With the usual news, rants and dilemmas…. and the realisation that shooting 6TB of data in one day is probably too much… it's a packed episode.

In fact, within hours of heart surgery, he'd regained enough use of his thumbs in order to phone and text useful advice to all his colleagues! We're looking forward to his next blog - get well soon.

In episode 18:   Steve and Paul finally get together to pull some crackers and take a look back at 2015. Phill Lane from Top-Teks gives us a run down of his top cameras and Ged Yeates chats from Scotland to discuss his blog "Living with the FS7" and some shock news he received from the doctor!   It's difficult to believe it's been a year since the original Great ExtraShot Cameraman Survey, but in this episode we launch our second survey with even better questions! It'll be really useful to track all the trends in our industry... have our rates gone up or what do we need to buy to stay competitive? So if you completed the survey last year or even a newcomer, it would be great to get as many responses as possible. It only takes a couple of minutes and we'll share all the results with you early next year. The Great ExtraShot Cameraman Survey - Why not do it now?

Welcome to this years special BVExpo episode.   The first day at the show was spent checking out the latest kit and catching up with some of the key companies in our industry.   During our tour we recorded interviews with Sony, Canon, Blackmagic, Cirrolite, Arri and even managed to track down friend of the podcast, Mark Moreve!   Paul got to see the latest UAVs but Steve ran out of time and credit cards to fill his boot with new toys.     Steve & Paul         These are the links discussed on the show:   Cirro Lite   Arri Alexa Mini   Arri L10-C Fresnel Lamp   Exalux Briks   Canon UK Cine Lenses   Sony FS7   Blackmagic Design   Heliguy     Available on ExtraShot.co.uk   ExtraShot on facebook   Our twitters:   @extrashotcafe   @gomediavideo   @paulream

In episode 10 Steve makes a surprise confession which Paul thought he would never hear!   We talk about the new E-mount Sony 28-135mm F/4 zoom lens and the official release of the Sony 4K upgrade for the F5, but will Paul be buying?   Once again Paul has been roaming the red carpet and he talks about filming at the BAFTAs.   The latest programme by Love productions has left some of the crews under physical attack. At what point do you need to leave a show for your own safety?   We look ahead to the BVE show next week where we'll be taking a look at some of the latest kit and catching up with some of the main players in the video industry.   Finally, Steve gets all excited about the BBC series "Wolf Hall" while Paul is hoping the Breaking Bad spin-off "Better Call Saul" starts improving.     Steve & Paul     These are the links from the show:   Sony FE PZ 28-135mm Zoom lens (the powered one)   Easyrig     Available on ExtraShot.co.uk   ExtraShot on facebook   Our twitters:   @extrashotcafe   @gomediavideo     @paulream

Happy New Year!   In episode 9 we look ahead with some predictions for 2015. Will it be a 4K year as Paul predicts or a fightback from Canon which Steve thinks could be on the cards?   We chat through some of the more surprising results from this year's survey. How did your income compare to the industry average, and are you using the most popular camera?   Check out the full results on our blog which also has another great guide from Ged.   We end with a drone theme, both of the flying variety and a moan about the tax bill arriving in January.     We hope you all have a great start to 2015.     Steve & Paul     Available on ExtraShot.co.uk   ExtraShot on facebook   Our twitters:   @extrashotcafe   @gomediavideo   @paulream

In episode 8 we have our freelancers Xmas party, complete with rubbish cracker jokes!   Paul gets very excited over his new top light and Steve goes back to studying as he starts a Resolve 11 course.   The decision whether to shoot LOG and grade later versus creating a finished look in camera is becoming an increasingly difficult choice. With this in mind we set up a camera test with the FS7, C300, F5, F55 and AS7. Paul and Steve chat through their findings which can also be viewed on Vimeo.   Thanks to everyone who has listened and supported us this year.   Merry Xmas Steve & Paul     Available on ExtraShot.co.uk   ExtraShot on facebook   Our twitters:   @extrashotcafe   @gomediavideo   @paulream

In episode 7 we catch up on some recent jobs, chat Health & Safety and explore what your job title really means.   Are you a DoP, Cinematographer or just a plain old cameraman? What if you are female and want something that describes you? Following on from some great responses to our survey, we chat about why and what you are called.   We also cover the ever present role of the colour grade. Can it be used to cover shooting errors or should you be getting it right first time?   The Great ExtraShot Cameraman Survey 2014 will run for another month so keep spreading the word. The more responses we get, the more accurate and useful the results will be for all of us.     Available on ExtraShot.co.uk   ExtraShot on facebook   Our twitters:   @extrashotcafe   @gomediavideo   @paulream

In episode 6 we chat with Philip Bloom about 4k workflow, how he started working at Sky News, his exciting new projects and reveal some surprising past connections with our very own Paul Ream! We also launch the Great ExtraShot Cameraman Survey 2014. We want to get an accurate snapshot of what it means to be working in our industry in 2014. We've put together some questions which we think will reveal the day to day experiences of cameramen, not just here in the UK, but across the globe. The Survey is totally anonymous, so please be honest with your answers. We think the findings will be really useful for everyone and we'll publish the results in a future episode.   Available on ExtraShot.co.uk    Our Twitters: @extrashotcafe @gomediavideo @paulream 

In episode 5 Steve and Paul relive their trip to Ansterdam and IBC.  Paul and Sony made up over a capuccino and discussed all things 4K4F5 along with a hands on session with the star of the show, the new FS7. Steve shared a cuppa with Canon but didn't find anything new to play with although he got some hints of what may be around the corner. Arri also got into the 4k groove and announced a new Amira firmware upgrade to give owners upscaled UHD. Are hand-held stabilisers a fad or a the latest must have and will Paul be buying a Ronin very soon? Available on ExtraShot.co.uk    Our Twitters: @extrashotcafe @gomediavideo @paulream

In episode 4 Paul reveals the big secret, how to get 4k on your F5! Steve is back from his holiday and is not happy about the new fashion of using smartphones to film in dark theatres. We get some feedback from our listener about our previous DIT discussion. And we get to the big finale where Paul shares one of the most eagerly awaited tips of the last year...

In episode 3 Steve and Paul chat with Lighting Cameraman / DoP, Mark Moreve.    Mark has been in the industry for 24 years, (he started very young), and has used every camera under the sun. Steve first met him when they travelled across Mongolia in a Land Rover, a very cosy trip!  Paul also spent a few years working alongside Mark, but much nearer to home... Homes Under The Hammer for the BBC.   Are all cameramen early adopters? Of course we all love the latest gadgets but should our clients dictate what we buy?   Paul is outnumbered in his defence of the Sony F5 by Steve and Mark’s continual onslaught of the benefits of the Canon EOS cameras.   Mark talks us through his 4k workflow using the Canon C500 with the very impressive Convergent Design Odyssey 7Q. These are the links we discussed: Available on ExtraShot.co.uk  Convergent Design - Odyssey7Q The Lens Doctor DJI Ronin   Our Twitters: @extrashotcafe @gomediavideo @paulream

In episode 2 Paul and Steve get excited by the price of the new DJI Ronin, agonise over Apple and lament the lack of purchases this month. Have you ever turned down a job beacause of a moral issue? The guys chat about how far they are prepared to go to earn a crust. Stills or moving pictures? With more and more photographers being asked to shoot video and vice versa, Paul and Steve chat about which skills are transferable and whether it's desirable anyway. Paul gave his feedback on the Fargo TV series and the guys finished with some recommendation for a couple of companies they recently dealt with; Lenses for Hire and Professional Audio Cables.

Paul and Steve welcome you to our very first episode. Pull up a chair, order a cappucino and have a listen to our thoughts and experiences on what it means to be a working video professional here in the UK. Collectors will be fighting over this one day! In this episode Paul talks about his Sony F5 and explains why he told Steve to buy a Canon C300!  Do real cameraman need autofocus? And should Steve send his C300 off to be upgraded? There was some confusion over exactly what a DIT is (answers on a postcard), although there was consensus that they are becoming more and more valuable. Paul politely asked editors to embrace FCPX so his new codecs can be used and Steve told us to start watching the fabulous Fargo.
