It is simple and not overdone like most of the stuff you see on TV or even the Internet. Kevin is funny. I suppose I never thought of him doing Stand up or doing this.

Congrats. We shot in a professional Public Access studio with chromokey on my little 1.7 ghz PC. I do want to build my own studio at some point but for scripted programming, I don't want to do any more newsmagazines, there are too many of them now. I have a question, which Sony HD Cams are you using and are you using HDD based Cameras or MiniDV? I have a MiniDV HD Cam that's great, but my new MacBook doesn't have freaking FireWire! What does TriCaster do that makes it cost so much? And are you shooting from a warehouse or your home?
