On the road with ITN and ITV News 4K Vlog 

@@nickporter8773 awesome, thanks. Glad you enjoyed it :-)

Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks David. :-)

hi david can i ask please? i own 2 ex pro tv cameras how do i remove the little bit of dust behind the camera lens as when i film at night it shows up like stars at night when really its a bit of dust

@@britisheagle9776 Probably a screw in filter try unscrewing it clean it and put back together. If not get it serviced for £300.

Thank you :-)

It was a great day, I am still amazed that ITN let me do it and even signed it all off with no changes. Lovely people. :-)

Cool, thanks and good luck with your career.

@@apntv Many thanks and best regards

Thanks, I appreciate the comment :-)

Ha, glad it was useful :-)

Thanks, glad you liked it. Do share it around, it hasn't had nearly enough views :-)

Sure and they do here, even the BBC use phones sometimes. The quality may not always be perfect but sometimes a phone is all you have. I remember filming something at an airport checkin desk one time for a TV show, just a few seconds but I wouldn’t have been able to film it there with my bigger camera, at least not without a lot of paperwork :-)

@@apntv On a different note; shooting with a bigger camera gives you the "definition" of being a journalist while shooting with your personal phone sends out a signal that one is a member of the public goofing around with his phone !!!! But definitely I would love to watch the evolution of photo/video journalism with the advent of mobile technology...

@@abhijitguha494 that is very true though, an ENG camera certainly gets you in places that you wouldn’t get with a phone :-)

Jason Stanley Cancer just been looking for it, the link I had, for an early edit, is no longer online and I can't find it anywhere I'm afraid.

Peter Hayes glad you like it :-)

Richie H thanks Richie, glad you enjoyed it and thank you for the great feedback :-)

Thank you.

Thanks Chris, glad you enjoyed it, it was a fun day to film.

Arthur Littler thanks for the feedback Arthur, I really appreciate it.

Thank you Mooli

I’m glad you enjoyed it :-)

@@apntv I love anything to do with what happens behind the scenes

@@mrhammadmossop1988ul-haq there are a few on my channel and more to cone, enjoy :-)

@@apntv Brilliant I cannot wait I bet you loved working for ITN

LOL, spooky :-)

Thanks, that was a great day out with Tony.

That was 5-6 years ago, Live-u is all the rage now still the occasional truck though.

You would be best to ask that of a news organisation, like ITN, as it will depend what they are looking for. I would expect that, if, as part of your course, you are able to gain work experience within that field, it should get you a long way. From my experience if you are able to get into an organisation and get to know people there and do well, you are probably more likely to be taken on after your course. I hope that helps :-)

@@apntv thank you sir, very much, very much.

Doing run and gun news requires a lot more that being able to operate a camera, it has very little to do with cinematography.. Go and get a job with a news orginisation doing any job you can get like Tony here did and work your way up from the bottom. There is no school for on the road news

Go for it :-)

I talk a lot about cameras in my Camera and Tech playlist if you haven’t seen it. You can see what I use in there. :-)

100K Subscribers Without Any Videos Challenge we got sent a link to an early cut but that link disappeared and I haven’t managed to find a finished version I’m afraid.

John B seriously, if you can I would try the DVX if you can before buying it. I was torn between that and the UX180 and went for the used DVX. I like it but it just feels underpowered to me. The GH5 runs rings around it in terms of menus and functionality that I have come to expect, albeit from more expensive cameras. There are those who say the UX180 is better in many respects but I have yet to get a side by side comparison. If you don’t need HD-SDI out then the HC-X1 may be the best option. Do let me know what you decide :-)

Thank you so much for your reply. I have just sent a text to the guy asking how many hours are on the camera. If it's under 200 hours ish, I'll shell out the extar £150 to cover his fees. I've already paid £2250. I'd be keen to travel to you so that we could do a comparison between the micro four thirds and my 1" on my HC-X1, I believe it's the same sensor as the 180 if you fancy that sometime. I use to work for System Video Ltd in the 80's, they manufactured outside broadcast equipment, some used for the wedding of Prince Charles and Diana. Incidentally, I sold my HC-X1000, tiny sensor. Fantastic with sunlight or studio lights but very poor in low light (like a church wedding)

John B oK that sounds about the same as I paid, including the shipping. I’m based in Brighton by the way but you probably know that :-). At the moment though I am sitting on a beach in Spain :-)

Hope you're enjoying your holiday. I knocked the guy down to £100 cash for his fees on ebay, I was about to pick it up (30 minutes away) then he said he was taking out the LED light with barn doors + 2 batteries. I said, no, that was part of the deal. He said he was giving me a £350 canon flight case, i told him a genuine Panasonic cardboard box is worth more if I want to sell it on, he didn't have it. I also told him, no one on RU-vid has said it's better than the 1" sensor in low light, no one has done a side by side comparison so I didn't know if it was better than my HC-X1. I told him the zoom is only 13 times with the big sensor, the 180 and HC-X1 is 20 times zoom. I used the whole 20 times zoom the other week at Manchester airport and could have done with more. (optical zoom disabled) He has just refunded my £2250. I refused to pay £2250 for just the camera and Canon metal flight case. The camera had 160 hours.

Well if you are ever heading down this way I'd love to do a comparison between the two.

Hahaha yeah you spotted that too :-). No but it is there as an emergency back up :-)

​@@apntv Shure! :D So they really could produce with that in an emergency case?

You could try searching him out on Twitter, he is quite active on there.

Yes that would be fun to do.

In the links truck, sending the live feed back.

@@apntv ah okay thank you - he wasn't on the video :)

@@joshuanesbit erm, I think you missed that bit then. :-)

@@apntv my bad, just seen it. Can I ask - if you say you work for ITN, does that mean you could be sent anywhere - to cover for an itv news programme or C4 or are you just stationed at whichever channel you’re assigned to? Just interested as people usually just say they’re “with ITN” and not specifically itv news etc

@@joshuanesbit no, I do not work for ITN, Tony does, I am freelance.

Sometimes, yes, freelancers tend to, in house cam ops, like Tony, would use one supplied by ITN. I have multiple cameras, as I do a lot of multi-cam event work.

Me too LOL.

Just check the end credits, it’s listed there.

apntv thanks great work

There is rarely a sound guy in news just a radio mic into the camera normally sometimes you will run a cable for a mic but not often. Cam op just sets a level on camera.
