It's a little after 1 in the morning Monday night. I just made the drive back from Vegas so I could get some sleep before my call time tomorrow. I wish I had time to talk about all the cool things I saw (in only one day, unfortunately) but for now all I'll cheer about is:

-The guys at the Abel Cine Booth were the nicest and most informative people I ran into.

-Although small, the Cinebags booth was full of good show deals and good products, also with very nice guys.

-Final Cut is amazing, even without MXF.

-LASTLY! I checked out B&H and AbelCine's show deals for the HVX and saw that they were both offering the camera at only $4995 (for the show price ONLY). I expected Samy's to be the same, but to my surprise saw they were selling the HVX for $4695! I felt bad because I had been so impressed by the AbelCine guys and wanted to get the camera from them, but $300 is $300. So, I plunked down the cash and got the first camera I've ever owned.

I am very excited.

How could I forget THE RED ONE?!?!?!?

I got to see and touch this camera. I got to see a short film shot with this camera (by an almost unknown New Zealand-based director named Peter Jackson). I watched the film two seats away from Sinbad, the comedian. Didn't know he was a tech nerd. The guys demo-ing and explaining RED over and over and over were enthusiastic and incredibly smart. It was a real treat to finally see this camera in the flesh.

It's funny that I was in the room with Barry (with the exception that Sinbad may have attended multiple screenings) because I was keeping my eye out for him wherever I went. I guess The Red One was just amazing enough to distract me.
