The Less Desirables

The Less Desirables Recorded in The Such-N-Such Media Studios at Liberty Plaza. Tim had to go solo again. So, he recounted his experience in that aged-old (yes, that is spelled correctly) pastime, the good ol’ colonoscopy. From prep to procedure, he walks you through it. Is it gross? Maybe. But we all do it eventually. Enjoy the go!

If you haven’t heard a grown man get excited about a light fixture and a square bar with video cameras mounted on them, then you should listen to this episode. Thomas over at Strategic Electrical Solutions (who also did all the can and pen lights in the studio) installed an Aputure Lantern lighting fixture and then mounted the video cameras to the ceiling via a “rack” of pipe and rods. Somehow it works. Tim explained its first usage.
