  • Site Updates

    We are making significant changes on our xRdsTV hardware and website. Our technician, besides being so cute, is on it as we speak.

    The updates include both the front and back end of the website, and soon, we will be transitioning our server from a high energy consuming data centre in the desert, to a carbon-zero provider that uses passive cooling! More news on that to come.

    One other reason for the change is that our data centre is being moved from the USA as privacy regulations are much more secure elsewhere.

  • Episode 8 – New Year Take Out 2018

    Episode 8 New Year Take Out 2018

    Well… 2018 is well underway, no turning back. But how do we make it through the busy day? Take out of course! In the Comox Valley, there are some daily rituals and they have to be followed in order, or do they? The show is on air this week on ShawTV Channel 4 in the North Vancouver Island region. It can also be found right here!

    I made sure that I was in ‘character’ by having a just woke up look with my hair. Seriously, we make every effort to get the realism happening here at ‘the crossroads’! So take out something for yourself! 😉

  • Green Screens and behind the scenes

    Bunny is my little dog. She is seen here on the green screen cyclorama. Camera testing with animals is a fun yet trying experience. After getting Bunny to be comfortable on the cloth, we found out that she is so white on her chest that she was actually reflecting the green! This makes it almost impossible to do a proper composite background later in post production.

    You see, the green will bleed the background video or image onto her body. Not the desired effect. So, turns out we will likely have to go with a blue screen to do any shots with her. Good thing our new screen will be blue!
