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.

I have been considering selling some gear and getting a 5D2 as a second cam. With all these other cameras being announced the 5D’s price has come down quiet a bit. But now you can get your hands on a new body for $2039 now only $1999 crazy! That is incredibly tempting. Have someone really really special on your shopping list? This would make for an epic gift for that special filmmaker/photography in your life.

I Have corresponded a little with Andy Newman online in the past few months. He has done some really cool projects and recently he shot this BTS for the FStoppers contest. I really enjoyed watching how the photographer Nick Fancher accomplished these shots.

I am not a super huge GH2 fan, because of the sensor size, lens choice and a few other little things. But I know with the new hacks it now sports a really powerful sensor.
If you have been eying the GH2 now is the time to grab one. Amazon and B&H have the GH2 with a 14-140mm marked $300 off. The offer only last until December 17th so better make your move!

I got an email this morning from Glenn Pugh sharing this article, and I wanted to pass it along. I had no idea how bad the Canon, Nikon and Sony counterfeit battery situation was. Be careful when buying “brand name” because you may be buy a total fake. For more info check out this article from The Digital Picture’s website.
I can’t speak for other camera batteries but I have found this off brand battery to be the a great compatible chipped LP-E6 battery.
Thanks for the heads up Glenn!

Time-lapse photography is a popular thing. They look cool but there are thousands of them out there. Most just show space, the sun, and cities busling along. But I recently stumbled across this gem of a video and loved how it used time-lapse photography to create a narrative. Check it out:

I have a small box I keep in my pelican case with all sorts of screws, mounts, and other grip gear. I am always amazed how often those tools come in handy. And Recently I’ve added these 3 little accessory mounts from J-Rod and I have really found them useful.
