Remember that killer little shoulder rig I did a show on a while back? Well its price just dropped to $16 on Amazon. Grab yours before the deal is gone or they are out of stock! I’ve shot several projects using this little rig and it has perform very well for me. Check out the images below for a couple rigged up versions.

I know a lot of the time I fret much too much about what I will use to film something, or how I will go about filming something and I completely miss the point. Filming the darn thing. Well, its a new year so I will have the opportunity to reform my filmmaking behavior.
All that said here are a couple videos from a group of incredibly creative guys that just went out there created something. Sure their backgrounds aren’t to greatest, but they didn’t let anything stop them:

I was just asked on Vimeo how I export and compress my projects. Thought I’d share my process with all of you. What do you use?
Like I mentioned in the video I go from FCP > Mpeg Streamclip. You can get a copy of Mpeg Streamclip here.
Also check out my settings below the video.

Over the past several months I have felt quite bogged down with various corporate projects, emails, meetings, web dev projects etc. So This year I am accepting less work over the summer to get out and shoot. I am working on a series of projects related to a theme.
So what are you going to shoot this year? If you don’t make it happen it never will. Don’t let 2012 be another year of tweeting about cameras, shooting flowers, and buying gear you don’t need.

First off I have to apologize for taking so long to get this review up. I had this camera in for review the same time Dave Dugdale did and he posted his quite a while ago. Check out his review below as well. Unlike Dave, I did not shoot a lot of footage with this camera. Sure I dinked around with it but whenever I reached for a camera to shoot something I chose the 7D, or the Sony 5n. That should say a lot about what I think about this camera.
My general synopsis is this: Cool new focus and EVF tech, slow camera, ISO cap at 1600 ain’t cool, the cropped sensor turns me off. These things may have been accepted back in the “dark ages” when we didn’t expect better video features from DSLRs but that time is no longer. Think I am totally off? Whats your opinion?
If you are seriously considering getting this camera for video use please watch the whole review.

Just stumbled across this brilliant project by Frederic Brodbeck. He has been working on a way to visually give films a finger print and has come up with a clever way to do so.
Check it out the video below and the project home page.

This is pretty cool. Finally a HDSLR that allows easy clean HDMI recording, and audio monitoring via headphones. To bad its a Nikon and that its expensive. But this should also get other players like Canon thinking more about camera outputs.
