This program is intended for beginning students in video, focusing on microphones, recorders/playback units, CD players, audio mixers and mounting devices.
Most people interested in video focus on the visual part of the production and creation, rather than the audio components. Terms like Television & Video Production, emphasize the visual part and assume audio is along for the ride. This is a big mistake. If you have poor video reception but the audio is OK, you can still understand it. If you have poor audio and good video, it is very hard to understand and continue to watch the program.

Focuses on Follow Focus Devices with Karl Horn from Cinetech. Experienced shooters of Pro HD or SD Digital Cinema Camera rely on the focusing dial to create more dramatic transitions into actors or objects. Forget your wrist, learn to use follow focus wheels that reorient the direction of the focus dial to one that more easily fits the movement of the human body.

This comes in very handy in cameras that do not have numerical readouts for focus marks. Learn use of whips and extensions for focus pulling devices allowing you or a crew "focus puller" to pull focus from behind the camera so that you can just concentrate on panning and tilting the camera with the actor.

ER - The PropMasters - goes behind-the-scenes of the multi-Emmy(R)-winning show and NBC television hit, ER to show the technically demanding job of prop masters Rick Kerns and Rick Ladomade and their crew. See a stunt scene of the collapse of a third floor balcony loaded with party goers and learn how a plastic BBQ and rubber beer cans made it safer for the stunt people. In a scene involving the birth of a baby, see the crew, dressed in scrubs, position and operate an animatronic baby while the scene is actually being filmed. Witness the construction and evolution of the prosthetic for the "pregnant" mother. Also learn how the prop people handle ordinary medical props such as name tags and stethoscopes and everyday items such as cell phones and pizzas. Executive producer and director John Wells talks of the early days of ER and the challenges involved with building a complete emergency room's worth of props. Cast members, the production designer, and heads of special effects and stunts emphasize the teamwork necessary to produce the fast-paced gritty reality of ER.

Journeys Below The Line traveled to Hawaii and the set of "LOST" to produce an up close look at the entire team of talented people responsible for the Primetime Emmy® nominated look of the hit ABC series. Introduced by Jorge Garcia (Hurley), cinematographers Michael Bonvillian and John Bartley explain the advantages of shooting alternate episodes which affords each of them prep time with the director and input on location choices and scheduling. Go along on a location Tech Scout and sit in on the Production meeting, then see the scenes being shot. "LOST" shoots with two cameras and there are interviews with the Camera Operators, the First Assistants (focus pullers) and the Second Assistants (clappers) explaining the responsibilities of their jobs and how they fulfill them. Meet Walrus the film loader as he demonstrates what it takes to load and unload magazines in the dark room on the camera truck. Jim Grce describes his job as Gaffer, and Chuck Smallwood answers the question "what's a grip?" Dolly Grip Casey Alicino explains how he works with the operator and the focus puller, and how he hits his marks with the camera on the end of a crane. Take a tour of the special vehicles and equipment that have been developed to make shooting on a sandy beach or in a jungle doable. Cast members Evangeline Lilly, Josh Holloway, Terry O'Quinn, Jorge Garcia and Adewale Akinnouye-Agabaje express their admiration and respect for the work done by The Cinematography Team.
