I remember watching Hollywood Squares as a kid but it wasn’t nostalgia that caught my eye when I spied the NYTimes story about the MTV version (word) but that the crew in this photo was using DSLR’s to film footage for the show. That’s the same camera we’re using in class, the same camera that Frontline uses for their PBS documentary show, the same camera that fuels every video piece on the NYTimes.
It feels good to be hip for a change, at least in terms of the camera. OK, the camera doesn’t matter, it’s all about the story. But it’s good to know that we have the same gear as one of the hippest shows on MTV.
