Over the course of the 10-day shoot, Bourbon Street learned a few things: Australian food is as good as its beer, CEOs are people too, and always walk softly and carry an Arri 1200.

Shoots often found Bourbonais trekking to the top floors of skyscrapers where sleek sliding glass doors opened up to expansive hallways filled with art - the expensive kind.

"I'm talking Pollacks and Matisses," Bourbonais recalls, amazed. "I'd just stop and say 'That's a Pollack - what's it doing here?'" Bourbonais was not only floored by the sleek corporate opulence, but also by the task of lighting.

"I would say to anyone when balancing interior and exterior light, ya gotta go with an Arri 1200. Anything else, you're just setting up for potential destruction."

As fate would have it, some shoots found only a Tungsten 2000 available. So like a videographic McGuyver, Bourbonais improvised. Suffice it to say, destruction was averted and Bourbon Street will happily return to the global CEO hunt this spring with planned trips to Amsterdam and Tokyo.

In other news, Bourbonais is gearing up to teach a five-day cinematography workshop immediately followed by a two-day High Definition workshop at the University of Colorado this June.

The latter workshop will focus on different approaches to HD including camera manipulation, and a complete production overview from pre-prod, to shooting to post.

"Students can get an idea of what's the difference between a $3500 camera and a $120,000 camera and understand the similarities," Bourbonais said.

Bourbon Street looks forward to seeing you this month at the NAB Convention in Las Vegas. Until then, we can be reached at (323) 376-5707 and BourbonHD.com.
