Kyoto HD "Rising Dawn"
Greetings, firstly thanks for the great video blog! We just finished up a 4-day video shoot on Kyoto and thought to share the film with you. We did this one on a Canon 5D II mounted with a Nikon 24mm f/1.4G lens on glidecam as A cam, with a Sony A65 mounted with Zeiss 24mm f/2 and 85mm f/1.4 as B cam. I've been to Kyoto several times, and so this time wanted to capture its zen beauty. Check it out. Kyoto HD “Rising Dawn” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgDyTK0Rz6w

ONE DUO
Recently I had the opportunity to observe the work of two good friends of mine (oneduo.co) as they design and manufacture a collection of truly awesome and unique high end bags. I filmed this short video as glimpse into the work of these artisan designers. Personally, it was quite an experience to see and take in the amount of precision work, mostly manual, that each of these items requires on one hand, the the love for the material and process on the other.

Kodak is near its death and someone needs to blame someone. The main culprit: digital imaging. Even more so, digital cinema of today. This being images taken from the Alexa, Red, Sony cameras, DSLRs, the list goes on. The further the advancement of these cameras that push to exceed film, the worse off it gets for film stock lovers. Cinematography and photography doesn’t have everything to do with whether film is alive or dead as a medium.

What is people’s archiving strategy for video shot on HDSLRs? I’m trying to put a rational system in place & this is what I’ve come up with: Archive: • All the original raw h264 clips from the camera & the separate audio recorder. That way if everything else gets lost, or better transcoders come along in the future, I still have all the basic material to go back to. • The transcoded ProRes clips that are actually used in the final edit. These are larger than the originals & have had t... - Why you should buy a canon22 January 2012, 11:14 am

I'm happy to say our "Gassy and I'm Bloated" music video has done extremely well on YouTube, topping half a million views so far. It was a lot of fun to make an LMFAO parody of their song "I'm Sexy and I Know It." As usual, Smooth-E knew how to take it to the next level. With an awesome crew, we hit Venice Beach with a vengeance and got our shoot done without permits. Shhhh.... don't tell anyone.

Ikonoskop sent me a A-Cam dII camera to outfit with Arri accessories and try out in a real-world situation. I was impressed by the image quality of this digital-16mm camera that has a lot of potential for professional use. The size is tiny compared to tech that is simlar but it definitely holds up to the bigger cameras in a lot of ways. Here is a sample vid I shot with the camera - I tested in both indoor and outdoor lighting conditions: I didn't have any external connectors...

New Lens Formula Patents A new 400 f/4L IS non-DO would probably be a very welcomed lens. However, it will probably depend on the price of the 200-400 f/4L IS 1.4x ($8000+ I predict) as to whether or not it ever sees the light of day. The 200 f/5.6 is a strange one.

As a colorist I've had a great interest in what would become of Apple Color. Though its fate is still not known.

In terms of workflow I have to say that it is better and more intuitive than FCP 7's 3 Way Color Corrector as it incorporates similar approach to Apple Color's hsl curves/lines found in the secondary room for hue, saturation and luma adjustments.

De kwaliteit van de onscherpte wordt uitgerdukt met de term Bokeh dat afkomstig is van het Japanse woord Boke (spreek uit Bokeh) wat zoveel betekend als vaag. Hierbij gaat het puur om de onscherpte die ontstaat omdat een bepaald punt buiten het scherptevlak valt. Dus onscherpte die onts... - (C)LOCK IT26 January 2012, 12:51 am
