Davenport Iowa and Chicago

This week Kednall and I flew into Chicago and then headed for Davenport Iowa. It is a three hour drive but it is faster then getting anothet flight and waiting around for the flight.

On the way down we had just a few calls! We hardly got to talk at all from the business calls.

When we drove back to Chicago after the dealer event we hooked up with Anthony Martorina and went to Gino's East Pizzaria and it was awesome!

Kendall and Anthony at Gino's

What is cool is that even though this is not the original location they moved ALL of the original walls and furniture to this location.

You can see all of the writing on the walls... this is a tradition and you can write on any walls you want to... even the furniture.

When Nathan, Lorena and I went to CHicago this summer for vacation Anthony told about Gino's and we went there and we wrote all over the booth we were in!

The Pizza here is awesome! It is true Chicago style Deep Dish Pizza and it is very good.

Sony Interview

Well, this week I flew to Park Ridge New Jersey and was interviewed by the folks at Sony on how EDIUS works with XDCAM HD.

I arrived at their Broadcast headquarters not really knowing what to expect and I was not dissapointed! :)

They sat me down in a chair and had a makeup artist that worked in the olympics and it was quite fun! She used a airbrush gun on me and I was facinated. This was first time with a professional Makeup artist and it was a great experience!

Then they walked to me to the set where the interviewer was waiting and amist the director, sound engineer, camera men, and the Tech. Director I answered questions about our workflow with XDcamHD and XDcamHD EX.

It took about an hour and it was a blast! Everyone from Sony was very nice.
