TechTV's "Audio
File" sat down with Trent Reznor recently and
talked about NIN's Fragility DVD/VHS scheduled for
January 22nd. Although nothing earth shattering that
was said in the interview that wasn't said previously,
the full length interview will premier on December
13th, 2001 at 8:30 p.m. Eastern on TechTV.
Below is a blurb from
the interview:
Last time we
made the mistake of hiring a big professional film
company and it felt awkward -- that they're filming
with intrusive cameras. It disrupts the show and puts
all your eggs in one basket. That's always the show
that isn't what you wish it would be.
So I did a little
research into mini-DV and different camera styles
at that time. We're all Macintosh people. Final
Cut Pro was brought out and I did some research
into what you could and couldn't do with that. There
were some questions about the amount of storage
and what would and wouldn't work as far as editing,
but we thought let's just use the format of mini-DV
as our platform.
So we bought some
Canon XL-1s, or that level camera, about eight of
them I think, and just set them up and had 3 or
4 moving cameras per night and 4 or 5 stationary
ones depending on the venue, and filmed every show
for the remainder of the tour.
