Located one block East of the White House in the National Press Building, The Oklahoman launched its first remote video studio.

Using Apple QuickTime software, video is captured onto a Mac and then uploaded to Oklahoma City. A teleprompter is attached to a camera, while Washington Bureau staff run it from their laptops. Recently, Ed Kelley, Editor of The Oklahoman, began doing “talk-back” segments between Oklahoma City and Washington D.C. using streaming technology over Apple iChat.

The Arri Softbank IV Light Kit is a great high end professional light kit. However, they can put off a lot of heat and warm up a small room in a hurry. If this is a concern, you might consider florescent lights. They put off less heat. These Arri lights are not only good for a studio but great for field and remote locations.

This kit consists of: 2 Fresnel 150, 1 Fresnel 300, 1 Fresnel 650, 1 Arrilite 1000 Open Face Light, Barndoors, Scrims, Filter Frames, Bulbs, 24×32″ Softbox, Super Clamp, Light Stands, Accessory Pack, Bulbs, Heavy Duty Case. (Mfr# 571991)
