Bureau in a box




So here is the bulk of the gear. Two cameras, one deck for now, mixer, cables, lights, tripods, and odds and ends. Total of 10 pieces shipping it out December 31. Not sure when it will get there or whether it will arrive in one piece but it does weight a ton. Well not sure if it is a true ton, but happy that I'm not hauling through airports this time. Next up is to pack up the personal gear.

For those collegues in the business here are the workhorses for the next three years. One XD HD 355, and one HZ7U. Will be cutting with Final Cut Pro on a 17 inch Mac. The office is within AP's Bureau, so at least there will be some support. Will most likely ftp with Satellite as the back up.

So my letter is in, just need to pick up the visa. Got my ticket last week.

Starting to gather my gear. Nice that I have all new stuff. Here is a shot of my new camera from last weeks freak show on parliament hill.

The new office?







So while I deal with accountants and banks trying to put my life in a box for the next few years Ben O'Hara-Byrne has been busy. Ben is the report or should I say Bureau Chief. Anyways he was kind enough to send me a couple of photos of our new office. Keep in mind that we haven't moved in and won't until the 6th of January. Fance 24 occupied the space up until yesterday and i looks like they left us some parting gifts of used furniture. Home sweet home.
