John Harrington-WHAT WE USE - Blimp

Thursday, January 24, 2008

Here's a video segment on the Jacobson Blimp Kit that we use. A transcription of the video is available after the jump.

Transcript:
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 we use a lot is our Jacobson Blimp.  The camera is often too loud for us to shoot on a soundstage, movie set, or in other areas where silence is critical. These cameras as you probably know by now are awfully loud.

We pack it in a Versa-Flex case, which is a semi soft case but you can still stand on it. The blimp is actually a hard case, and inside the case is a cut out for the camera with a remote.  The camera actually fits in with the remote connecting to the camera. The camera slides in nicely, neatly inside the case. We use mostly our prime lenses for this.

In this case we’ve got a 35 1.4. The 35 1.4 goes on with the lens tube. These lens tubes are fitted to each lens.  Now when you fire it, now the camera is much quieter, much less likely for the noise to be picked up from a sound stage microphone. Each tube is in here; each lens has a different tube.

There’s the 24-70 tube, this tube also works for the 135. One of the nice things about the tube when you are using a zoom is the outer ring. The outer zoom ring is actually slightly larger on the camera. When you put the lens in the tube, the foam inside the tube actually grabs the zoom ring and lets you zoom the lens, so it does actually work very well with the zoom lens.

Other tubes fit on the blimp as well.  This tube is for an 80 – 200.  So this case just holds the blimp and the tubes, no cameras typically are stored in here. So we have the long tube, the mid tube, and the small tube, all that store in here. We tuck our finger in, and pull the lenses off.  It’s pretty easy to switch lenses.

Now the lens is on, stick your finger in there and take the lens out.  Camera unpacks same way, simply disconnect there.  And that’s the Jacobson Blimp.

A blimp, or non-rigid airship, is an airship without an internal supporting framework or keel. A non-rigid airship differs from a semi rigid airship and a rigid airship in that it does not have any rigid structure, neither a complete framework.

The film is named after the dance technique known as the moonwalk, which was one of his trademark moves. The name of the dance move was dubbed by the media, not by Jackson himself.

Conservatives or libertarians, who generally favor tax cuts, often criticize refundable tax credits, saying that they are actually subsidies disguised as tax cuts.Branwen

Thank you for the information. I think most people would do the same when they are headed with the situation.

The guitarist, hey escaped more than an hour later. He looked faintly dazed, but firmly in the twenty-first century. He wore blue jeans, a white dress shirt with and with real hope the sleeves rolled up, and had variations of the same in the bags he and Dela carried. Sleek muscles, long and fine, slid beneath the fabric of his new clothing. If anything, Hari looked even more handsome.

They are many factors to be consider. Like anti-virus and other applications running. Hard drive size will also matter if you have more hard drive space the swapping of the files will be faster... I think so you need to do a different method of test.
