At first glance with the Canon 5D you notice one thing, that the minute you plug a mini HDMI cable or a 1/8” mini plug into the outputs on the camera your LCD screen disappears. It is like a sick magic trick that for some reason, not one person can crack. So manufacturer’s across the world have jumped on this phenomenon and offer tons of products to give you your eyes back. One of the leaders in this has been Marshall Electronics. In the necessity to try and keep things small they have u... - Color Grading the 5D MKII for Case Combines17 July 2010, 1:05 am
Their have been so many great comments on the BTS of the Case Tractor commercial that I wanted to share the 30 second spot with you. I am always comparing the 5D with Reversal Film Stock, that you have to get it close in camera. Lets go on a journey to see how well I did. I will show you the offline edit of the MOV. files out of the camera that were decompressed with CS5, which Pro Res should just call it quits. This decompressor kicks its ass. Adobe has it going on.... - Hurlbut Visuals HDSLR Bootcamp: Join the Revolution of Digital Film13 July 2010, 3:54 pm

- Major Update To The Gear Section30 August 2010, 4:38 am
I started the gear section on this blog in 2008, and I haven’t done that much updating to it since.

I said that I have some very exciting announcements coming in the next 2-4 weeks - that’s true! BUT - they will have absolutely, unequivocally, NOTHING to do with Canon or a Canon product.
