Alton Brown of Good Eats fame has a new show airing on Food Network and they’re doing all their HD video editing on location in the Caribbean, usually on a boat. Turns out that he’s a huge gadget/tech fan and Gizmodo has the scoop on the gadgets that Alton likes to use and how they manage to get the show production ready in the field.



This year we decided to go completely tapeless: Panasonic P2 cards on 200s. We’re downloading them into our portable Avid edit system. We take as much audio equipment as we take video equipment. The funny thing is, professional audio hasn’t gotten a whole lot smaller. Although hi-def cameras have gotten smaller, lenses have gotten better and battery time has gotten better, audio is still the tricky part of the process for field reporting.
