    Looking for the next project

    Welcome to the Lair

    Looking for the next project:
    Starting tomorrow I will be looking for my next project to tackle. In the past year all my sources have dried up. People either left to other cities, or got out of shooting video or just moved on to bigger badder projects. So its time for me to start looking for gigs all on my own. I have never been a fan of doing that, but if I want to bring home the bacon, then thats what I will do.

    Looking for equipment:

    Before I look for projects I will first visits the websites to try and find deals. I am in need of a few items:
    1. Mics: I think my shotgun mic is on the brink of breaking: I also need wireless lavaliere mics so people can move freely around and I can make better videos.
    2. Light kits: This is not my strong suit. I always have had a hard time lighting people and never bother getting one. But if I want to be taken serious I need to get one, and I need to get better at lighting.
    3. Compressor: You ever had projects that were too big or projects that needed to be coded in a certain way? I have and even though I have been blessed lately and did not need it, I know that it will be only a matter of time before I need this tool again. 
    4. DSLR: Wait, I thought you had a camcorder? I do, the canon XA10 is a awesome camcorder but I need a camera that can take wonderful pictures. plus it never hurts to shoot with two cameras. I need to become versatile with the two this way I could be ready for anything.
    Things coming up:
    I am getting back on track with making a web series, hopefully in the next few weeks I will have something online for everyone to see. Even if its videos of me getting back into shape than so be it.
