[pieter]

Next week I will go to ICB 2018 the World's Leading Electronic Media and Entertainment Event, taking place in Amsterdam every September. It is the world's most influential media, entertainment & technology show. It will take place in te Amsterdam RAI Exhibition and Convention Centre (commonly known as Amsterdam RAI) is a complex of conference and exhibition halls in the Zuidas business district of Amsterdam, Netherlands. I am looking forward to it, because it is the largest Audio Visual event in the world. Last year I went there for the first time with my colleagues of RTV-Arnhem. It felt like I was in the USA and not in Amsterdam. The first thing I noticed was that I heard *American English everywhere, next to British English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Chinese, Russian, French, Italian, Dutch, Scandinavian languages, Middle eastern languages and etc. Everything for professional tv and radio producers is there. New Camera's, tripots, tv and radio studio's, drones, photo camera's, grids, cranes, tv trucks, TV cars, ramps, rails for tv carriages, batteries, lenzes, microphones, head phones, and any brand you can imagine. Sony, Panasonic, Canon, Nicon, Pentax, Leica, JVC, Fuij, Philips, Hasseblatt, Red Digital Cinema's, Manfrotto, Gitzo tripods, Blackmagic Design Studio Camera's (4K), lenzes, lens cleaning material and etc.

The IBC Exhibition covers fifteen halls across the RAI and hosts over 1,700 exhibitors spanning the media, entertainment and technology industry. Combining a world-class exhibition with specially curated feature areas and events, the IBC Exhibition provides us the perfect platform for us to network and build relationships with suppliers and customers, discover the latest trends and technologies and drive our innovations and strategy. But it is a fact that we are a tiny, little, public, tv and radio station between large, huge, international press and media firms that will gather en visit ICB 2018 Amsterdam.

The latest video's I made were these yesterday of a cycling sport event in Arnhem. I was the cameraman and editor.

With this video I had problems with my focus (backlight) because a colleague had worked with my camera without saying that he changed the settings. The Forucs, backlight has to be exactly good if you go making shots. The white balance, good sound settings and sharpening are other things.


Rixt Neijer is not only a Top sport Dutch cycking racing but also a good professional Top Ice skater, who skated in Heerenveen. See the video below in which she speaks Frisian.

Pieter, cool video of RAi Amsterdam, although I would prefer more sense of humor and less business-like language.

The ICB should be very valuable for your work with new products being brought out by the manufactures. With this, an opportunity to for new contacts and renewal of old contacts in your business.

Enjoy and watch the feet on those hard floors whilst making the best of your time..
