Found that neat project called “AirTracks” on kickstarter. It’s a little slider that uses inflatable rails so you can use it on nearly every terrain. Cool idea. The man behind this idea is Tom Baker, a commercial photographer and videographer.

Uncompressed HDMI output for Canon EOS 5D MKIII

eos

Canon announced a firmware update for its EOS 5D MKIII. This update makes it possible to get an uncompressed signal (YCbCr 4:2:2, 8 bit) out of the HDMI output. Nice one, Canon. That makes it possible to connect an external recorder to the camera, what means better images for post production. But there’s one major catch: the update is not rolling out until April 2013. Boo on you, Canon. You announce such a great feature, many people are eager for and you let them wait so darn long.

This time I want to present you my top 5 collection of short films I like a lot. If you do know awesome short films, that are not listed here, please feel free to comment.

Blinky

This short film is very cool. It’s about a boy, whose parents are arguing all the time. When he saw an ad on TV for Blinky, he thought that maybe this robot could bring his parents back together. The short film Blinky won the category narrative at vimeo awards 2012. View full article »

Lightning Photography Guide

INTRODUCTION

Some months ago I was sitting in my living room, watching X Games and chatting with a friend of mine via Skype. Around midnight I noticed rumbling thunder from far away. So I mentioned to him that there will be a thunderstorm soon and how cool it would be to photograph the lightnings. I started thinking about what’s the best method to catch the lightning on photo at the right moment. It was all entirely learning by doing. Now I want to share this with you. View full article »

21. October 2012

RED Digital Cinema announced the EPIC-M Monochrome a few weeks ago. Two days ago, the first footage shot on it was posted on REDUSER.net by Jarred Land. It’s a video for WOLF Magazine by Steven Sebring shot at Pier 59 Studios. Very nice pictures.

RED EPIC-M Monochrome quick specs:

Native ASA 2000.

Increased net resolution ( Removal of the debayer process, so every single individual pixel is used for luminance / image data )

New Low Pass Filter to assume a reduced pixel pitch ( 1×1 vs 2×2 Bayer )

$42,000 ( brain only ) includes upgrade to Dragon Monochrome Sensor spring 2013.
