Well, I made it through the weekend, with extreme difficulty, staying clean wise.
But made it, I did.
And what greeted me on the other side of this weekend of detox and strange MOSSAD fetishes?
A work experience kid.
Oh, woe.
Nah, the kid's okay. He's certainly better than the last one, who played snake on his phone most of the time... on the other hand, the Snake guy was a skater who was into some reasonably okay music, which meant that I, the former AlternaYouth, and he, the current AlternaYouth, had some stuff to talk about. I can't get a handle on what this cat's deal is. Probably a violent psychopath.
In other news, today I scored:
1 Zip drive.
And
1 potential monitor.
Unfortunately, I have nothing to hook the monitor up to yet, my personal at-home edit suite lacking such important things as:
A. An AVID system.
B. Um... anything, really. My personal edit suite is in that all-important "funding" stage.
Which means I have a bunch of awesome catalogues - unfortunately, the most money I'll be able to rustle up in the immediate future is around 3 grand, which means that such sexy items as:
The Sony 3CCD HDV Camera with such catalogue-worthy properties as:
1/3" 3CCD
Records HD video onto a DV tape
1080 lines resolution
Carl Zeiss (!) lens
25 frames progressive mode
Choice of recording modes (HD video & DV-SP, DV-LP
3.5" LCD display
or a TasmanAV Tube Dolly, with 5 metres of track and a carry case and boot-size and 100kg capacity
or a TasmanAV crane, with up to 2.8m in height, or 3.8 with an optional extension
or a 6 input Samson Mixer with line/mic inputs, stereo/aux outputs and line/mic inputs (again!)
or a Yoga Camera Shotgun Mic or a Manfrotto Boom Pole Kit
All of these things, at a net price of $9007.90, are a little bit out of my reach. Plus, I need an AVID system from $2195 upwards.
Perhaps I better put such things as tube dollys and cranes on hold for the present time.
And a swivel chair. (All donations welcome. No, not really.)
