information

Here are directions from Nicole as to how to transfer from a P2 card to your laptop.

You have to use a FW to DV cable to connect to the computer. After connecting the device, turn camera's power on.
On the Setting Menu under the Other Functions screen, select PC Mode: 1394 Host.
Press Menu button twice to get out of the menu screen.
Press Mode button to light up the MCR light, then hold down on the button for 2 seconds so PC is selected.
The camera should then show up as an external hard drive on the computer. From there, it's the same steps as in the lab. Create a P2 card folder in the project folder on your hard drive. In said P2 folder, create a new numbered folder for each card. Drag & drop all the files from the P2 cards in the camera to their respective folders on your hard drive.
A lot easier than it sounds. :)

A reminder that you will be using the HPX from now on rather than the HVX. I'm told it's a better camera and the menus/settings are the same.

Tomorrow, we will split into groups for shooting your pieces. Remember, they run 1:30-1:45 with a stand-up optional. You will be able to check-out by 1pm Wednesday, you need to be at 30 Rock at 9:15am Thursday (visitor center) and you will be done at 30 Rock by noon.
Also, don't forget to write an anchor lead-in page when you write your script.

Friday, you are shooting all day and equipment is due back at the end of the day Friday.

Over the weekend, you will be screening and writing. Monday morning, class starts at 11am with Natalie. Please bring your vosots (again). Natalie will finish at 12:30 and we will then go directly to script approval. I am trying to push the audio class back a little bit, so it is possible class finishes at 6:15p Monday. If you want to track Monday, book time after 6:15 pm.

Tuesday morning, you have camera class and I have already asked for Nick to cover lighting. By noon, you can start editing. Please remember to book time for that afternoon.

Next Wednesday morning, BEFORE class, your story pitches will be due for your next project. The piece should run 2:30 and I would like it to have a hard news angle. Wednesday morning, Chris Tine will be with you and then you will have the afternoon to finish editing. We will screen and review the pieces on Thursday morning (that's a change, the original schedule says Wednesday). SHOOTING for the 2:30 project will be Thursday afternoon, all day Friday, all weekend and Monday morning. We'll get into the remainder of the schedule next week.

See you in the morning. There are a couple of you who owe me story pitches...PLEASE GET THEM TO ME.
