UPDATE:
Just after ordering a couple of these drives Amazon has almost doubled the price. I got mine for $72 but they are now $131. Yikes! Someone made a mistake. Hopefully a couple of you scored cheap drives with me!
Hard drive space is oxygen for shooters/editors.
Could not believe my eyes when I saw the price of this drive on Amazon. I know the prices of hard drives have skyrocketed because of the flooding in Thailand. So to find a 1TB drive with the speed of 7200RPM was a huge surprise. Grab them while you can! (to late. Prices have gone up). All my drives are seagates and they have perform well form me other the years.
Seagate Barracuda 1 TB 7200RPM SATA Drive.

I was contacted by Kyle Hart who has developed a really interesting little stabilizer. He has developed a control system that I would have loved to have on other stabilizers I have used in the past. If you fund the project you can score an EZ Stabilizer for a reduced price. Check out his Kickstarter page for more info on how this Stabilizer is different.

There is so much gear out there for the DSLR shooter to choose from these days, and over the past year I have found 3 areas where you can save a ton of money and not compromise on quality. And yes there are other things to save money on but the items I want to talk about are necessities to every DSLR video shooter.

DSLRs are fantastic. Great image, small, and have a close to film aesthetic. Aside from dynamic range, the main difference between an HDSLR’s image and film’s is grain. Grain carries such a warm organic feel to it. It kind of smooths over the whole image. Thanks to the folks over at CineGrain.com we can now bring that look and feel to our digital projects. With their indie collection its now very affordable to get a pack with tons of different film scans and effects.
I also love how simple it is to apply these scans. Simply drop them in your NLE set their composition mode to “Overlay” and boom. You’re in business
Check out their video above to learn more. Also watch the two videos I shot using their 8mm and 35mm scans.

Here comes the bride, the kiss, limo, cake, dancing, more kissing. There are a lot of wedding guys out there. And while some do great unique work, the subject matter is rather limiting. Sure you can change the shots, angles but at the end of the day its a wedding. But today’s Monday Like surprised me. Filmmaker/Photographer Lee Morris of FStoppers.com used over crank and black and white to create something I haven’t seen. Check it out below. Be sure to also check out his BTS on how he shot this wedding.

I just got an email from Redrock Micro regarding the wireless follow focus system. Looks like its not dead and they have also been working on a motor which will be introduced before long. They are calling it the Redrock Torque Motor and it will be a fraction of the cost or other FF motors currently available.
