Geek Brief TV #352

I've been getting more and more requests for an updated
behind-the-scenes look at our setup. We haven't changed equipment in
over a year so I wasn't ready to do one. Well, to celebrate PodShow's
name change to MEVIO [1], we changed our set. In this episode, I walk you through the new set, and explain the
setup we use to produce GeekBrief.TV. It's in black and white because we're not quite finished and I
thought it would be fun to do a kind of partial reveal. I forgot to
mention the lapel microphone I use. It's listed below.

This is our current equipment list:

[waipahutube]

what kind of mac pro are you using? quad 2.66 or 8 core ?

Thanks!

[mdnvr]

quad.... Have you seen the price for the 8 core? At least twice the price!

Cali:

You are so smart-sounding. You're a perfect host. Great set up. Thanks for educating me on the details of a pro video studio. I'm currently looking for a mixer upgrade.

Thanks,

your friend in Santa Fe,

Eric

Eric, if you have the money (somewhere) then Apple Final Cut Pro 6 is the best around right now for Mac... You'd have to forgo a car down payment though.  If all else fails, Adobe has some killer stuff if you do not have the money, or a Mac for that same reason... Let me know how that goes?

[Anjohl]

NOBODY would watch this video if it wasn't for her.

She has a really sweet laugh, it makes me smile when she laughs. :)

[dumalucky]

@Anjohl If you're trying to make us feel guilty about wanting watching a cute, smart, perky female you're failing miserably.
