Equipment:

My primary camera is a Panasonic HVX-200 with a pair of 4GB P2 cards. My usual audio setup is an AT-835b and a Gitzo boom pole. Other accessories: a Bogen tripod, a Glidecam, a greenscreen, batteries, a bunch of random cables, gels left over from various jobs, and so on.

Storage:

I currently have data on fourteen or so hard drives. They nominally total over 8TB before formatting: the actual data count is currently 4.21/7.05 TB. My current high-powered disk management scheme involves a spreadsheet and the mess you see to the right.

My ideal setup would be to consolidate everything into a single volume and eliminate the detritus. I’ve spent the last year mucking with a ZFS array, only to have Apple pull the plug on the mac-native project. SAN/iSCSI is my current research project.

FutureTech:

• Every camera I have I figure out what I want in the next one. My current wishlist would be HDR RAW support and 2k+ resolution: the Red roadmap intrigues me.
• Some better lighting equipment.
• Some sort of LTO-based backup system.
• More disk space. No matter how much I have, that always applies.
• More RAM. See above.
• More CPU cycles. See above.
• More bandwidth. See above.
• A new phone.
