Communication can be difficult when working on a set with multiple people all over the place. You often resort to yelling or using loud and annoying walkie-talkies. And neither of those are great if you’re shooting a live event. What’s the alternative? Well, a headset, of course. While DIYP was at IBC 2023 earlier this […]
This weekend, a 22-year-old tourist at Phillip Island learned the hard way about the risks of taking selfies in dangerous places. While trying to capture moments for her social media, the unfortunate woman fell 50 meters (over 160 feet) off a cliff edge.
