In episode 16:

We discover that burning LUTs is the way forward for one programme that wanted to raise production values at every location. Steve peers into the world of someone who lit a drama with candles, and we discuss how much we’re prepared to pay for the BBC.

With IBC just weeks away, is anything going to surprise us?

Welcome to this years special BVExpo episode.

The first day at the show was spent checking out the latest kit and catching up with some of the key companies in our industry.

During our tour we recorded interviews with Sony, Canon, Blackmagic, Cirrolite, Arri and even managed to track down friend of the podcast, Mark Moreve!

Paul got to see the latest UAVs but Steve ran out of time and credit cards to fill his boot with new toys.

In episode 10 Steve makes a surprise confession which Paul thought he would never hear!

We talk about the new E-mount Sony 28-135mm F/4 zoom lens and the official release of the Sony 4K upgrade for the F5, but will Paul be buying?

Once again Paul has been roaming the red carpet and he talks about filming at the BAFTAs.

The latest programme by Love productions has left some of the crews under physical attack. At what point do you need to leave a show for your own safety?

We look ahead to the BVE show next week where we'll be taking a look at some of the latest kit and catching up with some of the main players in the video industry.

Finally, Steve gets all excited about the BBC series "Wolf Hall" while Paul is hoping the Breaking Bad spin-off "Better Call Saul" starts improving.

Happy New Year!

In episode 9 we look ahead with some predictions for 2015. Will it be a 4K year as Paul predicts or a fightback from Canon which Steve thinks could be on the cards?

We chat through some of the more surprising results from this year's survey. How did your income compare to the industry average, and are you using the most popular camera?

Check out the full results on our blog which also has another great guide from Ged.

We end with a drone theme, both of the flying variety and a moan about the tax bill arriving in January.

We hope you all have a great start to 2015.

In episode 8 we have our freelancers Xmas party, complete with rubbish cracker jokes!

Paul gets very excited over his new top light and Steve goes back to studying as he starts a Resolve 11 course.

The decision whether to shoot LOG and grade later versus creating a finished look in camera is becoming an increasingly difficult choice. With this in mind we set up a camera test with the FS7, C300, F5, F55 and AS7. Paul and Steve chat through their findings which can also be viewed on Vimeo.

Thanks to everyone who has listened and supported us this year.

Merry Xmas

In episode 7 we catch up on some recent jobs, chat Health & Safety and explore what your job title really means.

Are you a DoP, Cinematographer or just a plain old cameraman? What if you are female and want something that describes you? Following on from some great responses to our survey, we chat about why and what you are called.

We also cover the ever present role of the colour grade. Can it be used to cover shooting errors or should you be getting it right first time?

The Great ExtraShot Cameraman Survey 2014 will run for another month so keep spreading the word. The more responses we get, the more accurate and useful the results will be for all of us.
