Today we shot another segment for this infomercial, and it was in a yoga class. Only, it was yoga + sauna or something. I kid you not, the reception area was at least 90 degrees, and the actual yoga room was at least 105. (110 was our common guess; we're from Vegas, we know our heat!)
I don't know why anyone would do that to themselves, but I guess that's part of this particular school of yoga's philosophy -- sweat sweat sweat. Sweat out the toxins maybe? Well, for whatever reason, they had the heater going full bore, and it was hot and sticky and humid and painful in there.
Jay and Mike went in, the rest of us stayed in the relative comfort of the 90-degree lobby. Jay shot in there with the HVX for between 30 minutes and an hour. He pointed out to me that if we'd been shooting tape, the tape probably would have gummed up and stuck to the heads instantly, and it would have been difficult (if not impossible) to get the shots. The HVX handled it like a champ, of course -- it was all "heat? What heat? Who cares about heat?" :thumbsup:
When they'd bring it back out into the icy cool 90-degree lobby, I'd pull the cards to offload 'em and they'd be HOT. I mean actually very warm, not quite too hot to hold but uncomfortable to hold... but they worked perfectly and we offloaded the footage and all was well.
Just another update from the trenches...
