To share some of the stuff we at Phase One have already put in place: As we are a fairly international company, with office locations in several countries as well and staff in the field, and with many now “stuck” at home, we now have all teams, including R&D, set up so that we can work remotely. In fact there are engineers working from home while having full access and control over hardware that sits on their office desks. In addition we have various open channels for continuous communication between team members.
I now have a make-shift repro studio at home with everything I need for production of little demo and tutorial videos as we are looking to create more online content in the coming weeks and months. This is a great opportunity to practice and re-lube some long-forgotten video editing skills
We launched a new product last week which was a real test for how to make the shift very quickly as we had all kinds of events (as in physical events) lined up. I'm glad to say that all things considered it has been a great success.
Lockdown also means I can find time for experimenting and looking at new ideas, applications and solutions. Yesterday I was scanning some Super 35 cine film with an iXM-MV 150F with a Blue Ring 120mm macro and all the extension tubes I could find. Result is just over 10,000ppi and I can recognise George Clooney’s face! I can also see how poor was the focus on much of the frames :facesmack:
We're allowed one outdoor exercise per day and the kids are always happy to join me. Weather in London has been nice so far so we all get to spend some family time in the garden as well.
Wishing everybody and their families a safe “journey” and hoping we’ll all come out of this stronger, kinder and smarter! :lecture:
