Canon C300 Gets Push To Focus Update
When I read this today I got very excited. The push to focus feature is great on the C100 and Canons reason for not including it on the C300 was that filmmakers don’t need auto focus. Well, we do sometimes and if a lens has the function then let use decided if we want to […]
Manfrotto Fig Rig With the Canon C300
It’s promo time again! The last couple of days I’ve been shooting a new image spot for the morning show. The style is handheld so out comes the Fig Rig. I did a review of the Fig Rig a while back and wanted to show you how it worked with the C300. I was pretty […]
The Last Roll of Kodachrome
In 2009 famous National Geographic photographer Steve McCurry shot the last roll of Kodachrome. With Fuji officially ending celluloid production as of March 2013 I thought it would be a good time to revisit this nostalgic event.

NAB 2013. What I’m Looking Forward To Seeing
NAB 2013 should be very interesting this year. Heck every year it’s cool if your like me a gear head. Last year’s big surprise for filmmakers was the Black Magic Cinema Camera. For editors (And yes I’m one as well) it was Premiere Pro CS6. This year it’s a safe bet that 4K and 5K […]

After you make the choices of how you’re going to setup for the shot the conditions change, so you really never know exactly what the shooting conditions will be until you’re […]

I went to see what’s new at the Team Tilta website only to see this. And their Facebook page is gone and Twitter account is closed. However the Vimeo page is still open. Looks like Team Tilta has closed down. I sent them an email but haven’t heard anything back yet. I hope they are still […]
Canon develops Full-Frame 35mm CMOS HD Sensor
Canon is on fire! Looks like they’ve been pretty busy developing a new full frame CMOS sensor designed primarily for HD video. It was only a matter of time before they figured it out and from the video it’s a low light killer. One shot shows a man being lit by a incense tip as […]
Panasonic GH3 Has Arrived! Review And Video
Amazon.com Widgets The FedEx gal brought me an early Christmas present today. I got lucky to get the Panasonic GH3 when it was released. The camera is hard to get just like the GH2 was. I opened up the box and popped the battery in to fire her up! The battery only had one […]
Side By Side. Documentry On The Future And Past of “Film”
I just watched Side By Side the Keanu Reeves produced documentary on the future and the past of film, and I enjoyed the movie a lot.
