I think everyone who attended the East TN TV and Film Trade show would agree it was a tremendous success. There were several very informative workshops and a mini-version of the NAB expo with most of the key industry manufacturer's present (though RED was sorely missed).

I stopped in to see Jim Jensen at the Panasonic booth and was disappointed to not be able to get my hands on the new HPX-170 and the HMC-150 but my disappointment was quickly replaced with euphoria when he offered to let Knoxville Films do a hands on test with the 170 this summer. We'll do our best to offer a full production test review post and video as soon as we get our hands on it!

Of course, there was a lot of discussion about the RED One and RED Scarlet so it would have been great to have RED at the show. Hopefully, next year. John Fairstein has mentioned doing a hands on 'show and tell' of the RED in a few weeks. We will be there and post our thoughts as soon as that happens.

It was a great day. Special thanks to Thomas Duncan and Michael Barnes for doing a great job putting the show together and an honorable mention to Peter Clem for a memorable and entertaining discussion of monitizing video for the web.
