Screenplay Structure: Sequences
A sequence is a self-contained portion of the entire story, usually about 10 to 15 minutes (pages) in length. It has its own tension (not the main tension, but related in some way) and it has its own beginning, middle, and end.

It usually also "belongs" to one particular character - not necessarily always the central protagonist - when its tension relates to that character's want/need/life more centrally than to the other characters. Many parallel aspects of an overall story are kept alive simultaneously and will appear in sequences where the overall tension is about something else entirely.

Blackmagic op woensdag 21 september 2016 te Vilvoorde

Tijdens de vergadering van woensdag 21 september 2016 werd een uitvoerige uiteenzetting en demo gegeven over het ATEM-systeem van Blackmagic.

Dit systeem laat toe om tijdens de opname een videomontage te maken van een aantal camera's.

Naast High Definition werd ook het volledig systeem in 4K voorgesteld.

De uiteenzetting werd gegeven door Roger Deprouw, geassisteerd door Bart Gerber.

Een zicht op de achterzijde van de toestellen en de bekabeling, die gedeeltelijk met glasvezel gebeurt.

Een indrukwekkende muur aan apparatuur.

Na de uiteenzetting konden de aanwezigen zelf één en ander uittesten.

EasyRig Mini

EasyRig Mini is a Budget Version of One of the Most Interesting Camera Stabilizers Out There

In essence, the Easyrig is a nifty overhead cable mechanism that allows you to evenly distribute the weight of a camera throughout your entire upper body. This system greatly reduces the spinal and neck strain that heavy shoulder rigs can cause, especially when they're not balanced properly, and it completely eliminates the arm strain that comes with holding a MōVi or similar stabilizer for more than three minutes at a time.

EasyRig Mini demonstration
Originele onderdelen zijn ook beschikbaar

Prijskaartje is rond de 1300€ wat redelijk doorweegt in ons budget. Daarom even naar alternatieven gezocht.
Homemade "EasyRig"

Tevens nog een interessante versie in de handel gevonden wat eigenlijk gebruikt wordt voor het werken met heggenscharen in de tuin. Het toestel gelijkt sterk op de Easyrig maar kost maar 275€ .
Mits wat kleine aanpassingen werkt het even handig als de originele maar kost wel 1000€ minder.
Het grote voordeel is dan nog ook dat je dit toestel ook kan gebruiken bij uw werkzaamheden in de tuin.

Het geheel komt wel hoger dan de originele maar kan met wat knutselwerk wel lager gemaakt worden. Indien je buitenopnamen maakt dan zal deze extra hoogte geen bezwaar zijn. Voor binnenopnamen is het risico groot dat je schade berokkend aan het interieur.
