Support the anti-SOPA movement

Wed, 21 Dec 2011 17:49:22 -0500

Copyright infringement is a serious thing. As an artist I don’t want people stealing my work. But then again I also want a toilet made of solid gold encrusted with diamonds. We can’t always get what we want, there will always be a level of forgery and copyright infringement in any industry —the problem is maintaining a balance to counteract it while preserving the freedoms of everybody else. The SOPA legislation is a badly written horrible piece of legislation that is being pushed through congress in order to afford big companies more power over you; while doing very little to actually stop copyright infringement.

write a letter to congress or send an e-mail to a company that supports SOPA and let them know you care about your freedoms.

Working with Carl Zeiss glass, Canon 7D, and a RedRock micro rig. The new CP line by Carl Zeiss is simply amazing. Since the lenses are all prime you get tac sharp images with a metal un-clicked housing. pulling focus or changing the aperture is a breeze on these things. Only problem I see with these things is their price. Each lens costs as much as the camera and if you are using a 7D to film with are you really the type to be in the market for a 3k cinema lens? The one thing I have to say is that the canon 7D is a complete waste of money in my opinion. It has the exact same specs as the 60D including the same sensor. So why so much? You pay for the alloy body and rugged casing. But then again if you are a professional photographer that needs that type of quality build then you should be working with a 5D or 1D either way. even as a secondary camera the 60D would work just as well. For film work the 7D was average and best. In all honesty im thinking of going with a 60D next time we have a film to shoot. Now, i say this about the Mark II. I am holding out for the Mark III, because if they can fix the moire problems, the rolling shutter problem and give the 7D higher dynamic range it can def compete toe to toe with bigger more expensive cameras! Fingers crossed!

This looks awesome! Can’t wait for Adobe to find a way to jam it inside of CS6! A while ago there was a video on a 3D stabilization algorithm going around the webs, that little doozy turn out to be warp stabilizer in Adobes AE CS5, so i do have my fingers crossed.

Canon C300: My thoughts.

Sun, 13 Nov 2011 17:46:00 -0500

Do not want :/

For 20k this camera should have so much more. If you haven’t had a chance to check out the specs, basically the C300 is a competitor to RED’s Scarlet X and the Sony F3 or ARRI Alexa. Now the Alexa is 88k and the C300 is about 20k (the street price when it comes out should be lower) -but Canon is touting Alexa like footage. However, from the video I have seen and my personal experiance working with RED and Alexa footage I don’t think Canon is on par with Alexa

The Canon C 300 has a 4K sensor, but only outputs 1080p max, there is no 60p at 1080p it, captures 4:2:2 footage (about time) -and while the footage looks good, I honestly don’t think an audience member can tell the difference between the c 300 and a well shot scene on a 5D. In fact I am more excited about the 5D mark III, because if they can fix the audio, moire aliasing problems, give it better resolving power, change the codec to something better and give it more options; I think DSLRs will still be the way to go for a while. After much thought I still think the best value right now is the AG AF-100 from Panasonic at 5k that camera cannot be beat.

HIERO is a godsend

If you haven’t been keeping up with the Foundry’s latest software, you are in for a huge surprise. I have been waiting for a program like this. It makes all the sense in the world and im surprised this wasn’t released any sooner. You can now import EDLs see what shots need VFX applied to them, export those out and manage what has been done. So awesome! I so want to use this between premiere or Avid and After effects!

Watch this now. Awesome little rig for DSLR shooters. I am a fan of Arri’s, Zacuto’s and Redrock micro’s solution. But Letus (once known for their 35mm adapters) is really stepping up their game. I am particularly please w/ the “man cam” rig, which looks to be the most promising and practical way of shooting on DSLRs.

If you have been shooting DSLRs you know how hard it is to find a comfortable solution that is both cheap and useful and doesn’t hinder your movement. I am not sure of the price of these rigs yet but they sure do look promising. I was able to meet with Russel Carpenter a few weeks ago but I was not aware of this. If I do get to meet with him again I will be sure to ask him what his thoughts are on DSLR film-making in general and also on these rigs -I think it would be interesting getting his perspective.

For now though, if you are a student film-maker or just on a very tight budget make sure to check out JAG35 rigs over at JAG35.com
