Due to other work commitments, I unfortunately have to part with my 'showpiece': the very well-maintained and neat Sony Broadcast PDW-700 XDCAM HD422 camera, which has been used extensively for various television programs and guarantees high quality and reliability. This camera is in absolute top condition; no 'dead' pixels, very good viewfinder, latest firmware, including SD and IMX update worth over € 2,000.00 (CBKZ-MD01). Maintenance has been regularly performed by Vocas in Hilversum. The lens files have also been calibrated. It can, of course, be extensively tested and assessed on site. I am selling it with a Canon 15ax8B4 IRS SX12 lens with 2x extender, a top-class Sony HDVF20-A B/W CRT viewfinder, a stereo set-noise microphone, 1 Sony 2GB PRO Duo Mark 2 memory stick, 1 Sony 512MB PRO Duo memory stick, and the indispensable PDW-700/800 Vortex Field Guide. Portabrace bag with carrying strap (this fits the camera with lens and battery. Additionally, this bag accommodates 2 transmitters, 1 battery, 1 rain cover, 1 handheld microphone, 2 XDCAM discs, and various small accessories), Petrol PRC-2 well-fitting rain cover with lens hood, various FireWire cables, and 10 Sony XDCAM discs of 23GB. Below are the camera specifications as provided by the manufacturer: The Sony XDCAM system has revolutionized video production. The combination of file-based operation, optical recording and Sony's industry-leading camcorder technology has opened up new ways of working to broadcast and production facilities around the world. Now, Sony has expanded the XDCAM line-up at the top end with the PDW-700 XDCAM HD422 camcorder. The PDW-700 captures stunning HD images. It features three newly developed 2/3-inch progressive Power HAD FX CCDs at 1920 x 1080 resolution. 14-bit A/D conversion and advanced digital signal processing are also used to ensure the highest picture quality. The PDW-700 records at a data rate of up to 50Mb/s using an MPEG-2 4:2:2P@HL compression technology called MPEG HD422. The camcorder features multi-format recording at 1080/50i, 1080/59.94i, 1080/25P, 1080/29.97P*, 720/50P* and 720/59.94P*. It also supports record and playback of XDCAM HD* (4:2:0) at 35Mb/s, 25Mb/s and 18Mb/s, and XDCAM standard definition MPEG IMX and DVCAM material*. With fast file-based operation and outstanding picture quality, the XDCAM HD422 line-up has widened the appeal of XDCAM for applications such TV drama, documentaries and general entertainment programs, and for ENG where speed of operation is a critical requirement.

For my vlog series *Agressie De Baas*, I am looking for young people hanging around in Amersfoort or Utrecht. In one episode, we are going to experiment with the best way to approach young people loitering in front of your house: we are going to film a good and a bad approach. Do you know any young people who would be willing to participate in this (native and non-native)? The plan is to film next week, on Thursday, June 21st or Friday, June 22nd, with a professional crew. Location: somewhere in Amersfoort or Utrecht. Filming will take a few hours at most. Furthermore, for another episode, I am looking for a burly man, muscular, very tall and portly, or the 'trashy' type. In another episode, this man will act as a neighbor whom I will ring the doorbell of regarding noise nuisance. Here too, we will look at the best way to approach this and how you can completely miss the mark. Filming will therefore take place at his front door. Preference: someone who lives in a terraced house. There is no budget for this project; it is intended to make people aware of how to de-escalate aggression in themselves and others. See example: https://youtu.be/A2KuxqqRxns If you can help me, please respond or send an email to [email protected]. Thanks!

In a new permanent incubator between Amsterdam and Haarlem, we are putting the finishing touches on the spaces, a large portion of which are still available. There are workspaces here suitable for office work, assembly, studio, set construction, and design, among others. A cinema and a restaurant will also be realized here in the warehouse by the water, and a number of soundproof studios are under construction. We will already be holding a festive opening of the site and buildings on September 15, 2018. Furthermore, there is a spacious private parking lot here, which is of course free for tenants, visitors, and users. Feel free to send an email or contact us by phone if you would like more information. Eric Nootebos 06 41311848
