[...] into your camera’s hot shoe. Great for interviews at things like CES, especially if they put you in the green room where there is almost no light at all, Sony, and you could have given us two minutes to set up, [...]

Survivorman is my favourite TV show also.

Good interview Doug!

@Adrian
I agree with you, humans should spend more time outdoors instead of being cooped up inside.

My favorite show on t.v. I just wish he would look more into panasonic, I use an ag-dvc30 and from my perspective it seems like the perfect camera for what Les requires. its solid, rugged and has never let me down.

keep up the great work Les

Survivorman is the best show on TV, I love it very much. I think as humans, we need to spend more time outdoors and in nature, and less time in a cubicle. Just my opinion, but an overall balance between both worlds would be optimal and realistic.

Solid work Devin, Doug. Just finished watching all three seasons.

I recut the video to try to minimize the blurry parts. We had two cameras going — just wanted to get the rough cut up there relatively quickly.

If we got to pick the interview place or the lighting, we definitely would have gone somewhere a little more appropriate. But it was Sony’s call.

Great interview! Doug I’m glad you got those last two questions in there, I’ve always wondered about that. I remember him saying something on that lost at sea/tropical island episode in season one about a sat phone, but that it didn’t work too well.

Hopefully Les sticks around and keeps doing this for a long time. Love that show.

I hope you weren’t using a Sony camera to shoot this interview. Maybe next time find some place to shoot besides a dark room or use infrared?

Maybe Les should have been the one recording the video.

Great on-the-spot interview, but a real pity you couldn’t sort the focus out.
