Hi, I’m John Harrington and we’re going to break out and break down the wide variety of equipment we use to deliver images to our clients. Next we are going to show you one of the equipment kits we use when we are traveling on assignment. Each kit is different and has a very specific purpose. So lets take a look.
One of the things that can make a big difference on a photo shoot is having music, but not just any music. From client’s disposition to the subject being relaxed, having the right music is critical.
Recently we had the audio kit ready to go and somehow or another it didn’t make it onto the truck. What we found that we had to do was stream the audio off the internet, rather than rely on our iPod collection.
As a result, we were at the whim of the online DJ, and the subjects that were being photographed were reacting negatively to the music that was being played, so we had to assign an assistant to make sure that the music that was being played was music that the subjects liked. And when the subjects didn’t like what they were doing was making requests of the assistant to play this song or that song.
Our audio kit is packed in an old school bag that we had lying around. It’s got a video iPod in it, an iHome clock radio, and a pair of wireless Advent speakers. So let’s have a look at the kit. So here is our iHome clock radio. It’s got an iPod adapter that works for the regular iPod, or the full size iPod.
A pair of wireless Advent speakers with the amplification built in, so all it needs is power. An iPod 60 GB with all the music that we have, legally. The power supplies for each of the speakers and the transmitter, as well as a power supply for the transmitter. All of these things pack neatly into this kit. And so that’s our audio kit.
