#OprClearWallSt.

bentonville needs all the help it can get. it blows. your plane practically lands on goddamned chicken coops. the food is horrific and portions are absurd. everyone, everywhere, is some kind of asshole sucking at the teat. including me, i guess.

thanks for making me think of that, dick!

ha...
 
I did, to a point. After being embedded for a few days, I found it to be even more catastrophic than I had imagined. It was absolutely bizarre; from a hippy who has been living in a tree for the last 2 months to people dressed a soviet citizens, blackbloc and and 60's burnouts. They even filmed a movie while I was there, about two protesters who fell in love during the ocuupation and ended with homo-erotic butt-sechs in one of the occupy tents.

I got some GREAT stuff that you'll never get from the news or from the #ows propaganda wing. I plan on going back for the west coast port shutdown.

You should help me MrMcPickle, I need a 1%'r to sponsor me a better monopod. I'm also going to see if I can get some sponsorship for 2 more batteries and 2 more recording sticks.
 
Nothing came in the mail yet minx. Come on man, dispose of some of your disposable income, on me.

I've got the memory and batteries covered already. I also got a new tactical vest all geared up for run-n-gun. I'll be far better prepared for the next round, all I really need is that monopod.

You're looking really cheap here minx.
 
Yeah, they're Jews. You can't even buy things there on Saturdays until after sundown, timed to-the-minute.

So lets see...I don't see anyone in your state who has them instock.
  1. There is direct from Gitzo.
  2. Adorama in NYC carries it also (more Jews)
  3. It looks like Amazon has them.
  4. Sammy's in the peoples republic of California.
  5. NatureScapes, a bit more expensive, ...as if that matters anyway. (might not be instock though)
It seem online is the only way to get one, other then a very few of the larger vendors in Hollywood and NYC.

I saw that "interview" when it first came out. It was obvious from about a minute into it that she would never "ketchup" to the rest of society. Hence the name.
 
I'm safely back from another occupation event, the west-coast port shut down in oaktown.

I need to give a big shout out to our local 1%'r for coming though for me. I was faster and more mobile, my shots were steady with the all-pro monopod he purchased for me. I will never call minx 'cheap' again, he truly gave the means of production back to the people with this one.

The ows movement, at least here on the left-coast, is nothing short of what I had expected. Commies, socialist and unions pilted with a plethora of small groups who are demanding something for their cause. Of course much of the event was filled with hipsters who are just cool like that and others who have a street performance to preform for the unwashed and appreciative masses.

I'm getting great stuff, guessing I'd say I have better than 20hrs of workable footage. I've got at least 2hrs of topshelf interviews and events that are newsworthy. The majority of it is B-roll, incidentals, and less impressive interviews, a lot of that is great stuff and will be put to use.

One of the interviews I was conducting with a contract trucker was the lead-in teaser for the "Studio-B" broadcast on FOX News (their guy was filming my interview along with me). OWS was the opening story and more of that interview and part of another of my interviews were used in their segment.

From this round I caught the union, who didn't support the shut-down, coordinating the protestors once we were on the buses and directing us once we were in the ports. I also caught protestors jumping on the hood of a car as it tried to run the line, then they claimed the lady ran them over. THEN she got out of the car and explained to my camera that she supported the movement and planned on messing things up inside the port if could just get them to let her pass the picket-line. There was plenty of pissed off people to give me what I needed and the protestors themselves never cease to provide.

The protesters are very aware of media and behave and speak differently when they they see the cameras. Overtime I've managed to get somewhat accepted and can get a lot closer than the networks. I need to get a 'pro-ows' video out there to seal the deal.

:hippy:
