New in the Cage

A lot of new equipment was purchased this semester to upgrade the facility and replace worn out gear. All of our tape based cameras have been replaced with the Sony NXCAM NX5U. This camera is used for all first year projects. We have also added more cameras to our inventory of XDCAM EX1 cameras, which are designated for 2nd and 3rd year projects. All of our cameras are now filed-based, so the tape era is now officially over at B&F! Along with this we have added enough tripods and pro sound kits to go with every camera package.

On the camera support side, we've added the Steadicam Pilot, the Premier Studio Equipment PD-1 Dolly with track and several Shape Spider Pro Shoulder Mounts. And that's not all, we've really beefed up the lighting side with a whole range of new lighting kits including the Lowell DV Kits for 1st year, Arri and Lupo Kits for 2nd and 3rd year. Not to mention an extensive bump on grip gear inclduing apple boxes, sand bags, grip stands, flags, nets, scrims, clamps and reflectors. We've also ordered four new editing stations and are replacing the Mac station in Room 271, Post-Audio. As previously reported, the Sony F3 Camera is our new state of the art digital film camera.
