  1. RT @FinelineFinance Important advice for Canon C300 users. bit.ly/H2ZPO5
  2. RT @gtc_tv: The Royal Television Society have announced Stuart Webb as Camera Operator of the Year. Here's what they said......
  3. RT @gtc_tv: £1M theft from @CVPgroup - please do retweet blog.creativevideo.co.uk/2012/02/c1m-th…
  4. @bigolliegreen Can't argue with that. The F800 accounted for about 50% of our hires in London last year. #camerachat
  5. RT @willstrauss: Dir Shane Meadows explains how advances in camera technology are liberating the filmmaking process. ow.ly/8WPZx
  6. @bigolliegreen It does seem a little unlikely. Lies, damned lies and statistics.
  7. Interesting blog by @toasttv on Red Epic vs Arri Alexa bit.ly/xWrR55 [both cameras are available at HotCam New York btw]
  8. RT @bigtimepictures: Arri Alexa most rented camera of 2011: bit.ly/zsK1o0
  9. @Televisualmedia camera hire survey results released. Arri Alexa very popular in 2011. We get plenty of mentions too. ow.ly/8Tuke
  10. His name is Andrew McLean. Lovely guy. And he really knows his stuff.
  11. More news. HotCam NYC has appointed a business development VP to spearhead an expansion into commercials production. ow.ly/8IxKC
  12. @stingers_cam Different shows have different requirements. Local or not, the decision comes down to the level of experience they have.
  13. @stingers_cam There's a good few weeks to go with BGT. Live auditions don't end until 19 February in Birmingham.
  14. @stingers_cam If we start to get enquires in London for Epic and Alexa then we'll absolutely add them here too. F3 very popular btw.
  15. @stingers_cam In the US we've got a new biz dev guy who is an experienced commercials DP. Epic + Alexa + Cooke/Zeiss Primes are his babies.
  16. @stingers_cam Vicky is always busy! Bless her. Will give her a nudge for you.
  17. @stingers_cam re: 4k, we've got a 5k Red Epic in US office but that is primarily for commercials. We might get TV enquiries but I doubt it.
  18. @stingers_cam Yup BGT plus TOWIE, a few pilots and a couple of things I cannot reveal on Twitter unfortunately. Client privacy and all that.
  19. @stingers_cam We'll have a representative or two certainly. Not sure who yet. Trevor can't make it unfortunately. He's up to his eyes in it.
  20. RT @freytagfilm: What is the difference between a DP & God? God doesn’t think he’s a DP!
