3 things about U2
In September, U2’s tour management sent out a highly polished EPK (electronic press kit) promoting the US leg of the tour. The above clip uses b-roll and sound from the EPK.
U2 plays in Norman on Sunday. I’ve seen U2 countless times, starting with the PopMart tour at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas.
On Saturday, we are taking part in the media tour of the stage. So we’ll get an up close look at the monster construction and talk with the people who make it happen.
NewsOK TV on Cox
Today, NewsOK TV on Cox debuted. Angi Bruss and I host the 30 minute show: 24 actual minutes of content, three 90 second breaks for a TRT of 28:30.
The premise is an expansion of NewsOK videos onto more platforms. We have mobile. We are pursuing venues. And now our partnership with our friends in the digital age allows us to provide a half hour of programming.
This first show uses existing segments you can find on NewsOK.com. We’ll continue to use some existing and shoot other videos specifically for this show.
Here is the upcoming schedule:
Wed 10/14 9:30-10:00pm 7 OKCOX7
Sat 10/17 3:30-4:00pm 7 OKCOX7
Sat 10/17 8:30-9:00pm 7 OKCOX7

Sun 10/18 4:00-4:30pm 7 OKCOX7
Wed 10/21 9:30-10:00pm 7 OKCOX7
Race for the Cure
Tanner Herriott shot this piece. Thousands participated in the annual run.
Tanner used his new Canon 7D to shoot and Zoom audio device to capture sound.
Art on Tap
I shot this video using two camers: the Sony HVR for the interview with Leslie Spears (bad lighting, blame the videographer), the Vado HD for most of the b-roll, cutaway shots and soundbites from Dave Cathey and JD Merryweather.
The Vado is a little darker and loses audio quality with interviews. But ease of use for HD is hard to argue.
Party Galaxy for your Halloween needs
Helen Ford Wallace of Parties! Extra fame interviewed Marty from Party Galaxy in one of her shoots this week. Halloween falls on a great weekend spot this year: Saturday, Oct. 31.
You might stop by our friends at Party Galaxy if you are throwing a party or need decorations or costumes. Marty came in full inmate regalia.
