Inside TV Development and Set Survival with Keith Thomas

Network executive and veteran producer Keith Thomas traces his path from community cable access in 1990 to premium long-form television.

Michael and Dave open with a breakdown of B-camera choices: Dave weighs the Sony Alpha 7R6 as a companion to his FX9, and Michael explains why a used Canon C70 with matched look profiles is still the smart pick for their timeline.

Then Keith takes over with war stories and hard-won lessons: why location sound is the best education in the business, the Missy Elliott shoot halted by a Beta SP drum failure, and the unlatched flight case that dropped six Zeiss primes onto bare concrete.
