There's one thing we should mention before we start this episode. We had audio issues with some of the tracks.

We've struggled for weeks with it, but we didn't want to dump the episode since we felt it was a good one. So with the help of Ryan Connolly at

Film Riot, we fixed the track as best as possible. Thank you Ryan for your help.

I hope once you get into the meat of the episode, you'll be so wrapped up you can get past it.

Today, we're joined by a special guest. He's very much a part of team deacons and our family. We have worked with him

is that they protect the integrity of the signal.

If what you're getting off the camera is

corrupt or not robust, you are compromising the image and you might as well go home.

So the DIT plays a very important role in this process.
