As you may have heard, the twittergeist/blogosphere was blowing up yesterday based on two big announcements. One by Canon, one by Red. Both companies revealed new digital cinematography cameras aimed at budding and established filmmakers.
Canon’s C300 was widely anticipated since the company’s 5D/7D DSLRs have been all the rage for videographers for several years – [...]

Whoa! This thing is pretty cool looking. The Panasonic HDC-Z10000, is a ridiculously named, alphabet soup, camcorder that looks pretty sweet. It shoots “glasses-less 3D” using dual lenses and dual CMOS sensors, while also allowing you to shoot 2D 1920×1080/24p material as well using a new modified AVCHD 3D spec. Camcorders like this will greatly [...]

Up until now, I’ve been pretty diligent with my media. I use P2 on a regular basis and now I’m shooting more and more with the Canon DSLR cameras. However, I made one of those “project ending” mistakes the other day that we all have nightmares about…I accidentally deleted files from my Canon 7D that hadn’t been [...]

I see it happen quite a bit. An intern or a PA will find themselves working on a set with a celebrity and they immediately come unglued.
“Oh my God!!!! I’m your biggest fan! Can I get a picture with you? Please!!!”
That phrase above, or anything like it, can be a real stinger to your career. [...]

You’ve decided that the allure of shooting video with a DSLR was too much to resist. Don’t worry; you’re not alone. One of the major barriers of entry to this sort of product is the shear volume of stuff (crap) you have to buy just to make these things work “right.” So, since I have [...]

We all decided to get into this business for our creativity – at least that was my intention. Somewhere along the way, however, I became more of a salesman and less of a creative person. This happened officially when I formed my own company, but the damage was done much earlier than that. This post [...]

The term “Prosumer” gets thrown around a lot. Technically, it means “Somewhere between pro and hobbyist.” Often times, it is only used to talk down one’s nose at a particular product, citing its inadequacies.
I’ve posted too many examples of people doing extraordinary work with less than ideal gear. So, I’m not even gonna go there.
But, [...]

The technology is called Plenoptic, and it’s a combination of special lenses and software that allow you to refocus your DSLR still in post production. The video below explains it as good as anything. Is there anything we can’t fix in photoshop nowadays?

I’m not very creative.
There I said it.
I tried to write a song once, and it was slightly less sophisticated than “Mary had a little lamb,” but slightly more inspired than most Nickelback songs.
I’ve been working in this industry professionally for a decade, and I’ve been hiding that secret from anyone whom ever gave me money [...]
