Zeiss CP.2 Primes On The AF-100
I had the great fortune to use these amazing lens. I rented them for a promo shoot. I never used a PL mount lens before and wanted to try them out. I used the 28 and 50 most of the time. The 85 was too long for the what I was shooting. The focus and […]
Thank You Steve Jobs. You Will Be Missed.
I can’t think of anyone that has changed the way I do so many things in life other than Steve Jobs. From my first mac to ipods. Spending countless hours editing on Final Cut Pro. I worked and played with so many of your innovations. Thanks for all you have brought to us in the creative […]

SmallHD DP4 EVF
Finally.. The EVF For Your Smaller Cameras I just got this really nice SmallHD DP4 EVF combo and used it last week on a Panasonic AF-100. My first impressions are very positive. The AF_100 as well as other cameras with similar build have very average viewfinders and LCD screens. Thats the trade off for affordable digital cinema […]
Bryce Canyon
Sometimes it takes a longer to edit a piece when it means more to you. Bryce Canyon is one of those for me. We had a great family trip to Utah in the spring time. I’ve never been to Utah before and was really excited to visit Zion and Bryce Canyon. I was able to […]
