Lights, Camera, Action

FOX's hit drama Prison Break is so popular that a Chinese production company paid well over a million dollars to purchase the rights to a one-off movie based on the show's characters and scenerio. I'm no fan of FOX, drama shows or even television but within minutes of landing in Dallas, TX my good friend Janet was showing me the studios where all the filming takes place. If only I knew or cared who William Fichtner and Marshall Allman were I would have been doing the Texas 2-step in flips and cartwheels. The studio is absolutely gigantic however I'm sure much smaller than anything in L.A. Ironically, I'll be spending the next 3 days holed up in another studio on Regal Row with HDTV professions on the intricacies of the Panasonic HDX900. Ahhh, my HDX900; my baby, my pride-and-joy, my beast of a camera that slows me down at airports and puts a kink in my side. A full day with her and I need a masseuse to even out my rough spots. But, nobody knows showbiz like the pro's in the industry and they just happened to be right here in downtown Dallas this week so that's where I am. We stopped off at a Mexican Taqueria equivalent called Taco Diner with pan-seared fish tacos with extra doses of cilantro, onion, lime and green chile salsa, on the side. The eating is always good in the Big D.
