Workflow video: Simple post processing of 5D Mark III RAW footage in OSX | Cinema 5D
Sebastian here has found a much more straightforward way to post process the raw files from the 5D Mark III which allows us to skip the relatively cumbersome After Effects conversion process. This new process only utilizes Adobe Photoshop’s raw import module


New 5D Raw developments – plus my low light comparison with Blackmagic Cinema Camera | Andrew Reid | EOSHD
The 4GB file size limit of FAT32 prevents continuous takes over 40 seconds currently. I asked Alex of Magic Lantern about overcoming this and he says it is perfectly possible but not a current priority. There’s a lot that comes before it – even basic stuff like assigning raw recording to a physical button. 
Wait! What? You can only record 40 seconds at the moment? How'd I miss that?



Easier 5D Mark III raw guide in 4 steps | Andrew Reid | EOSHD
For 1080p will need a 1000x speed card, preferably 64GB as some of the higher capacity 128GB cards currently have issues with lower than expected write speeds.
Mac users should use Mac Boot to prepare the card, whilst Windows users can use EOS Card. These apps are in the main zip you just downloaded. Only one download required in this guide.


Why I Don’t Care About Raw Video from the 5D | Nate Weber
| Wide Open Camera
For me, it changes nothing. I have done the magic lantern thing with my T2i, it brought an impressive array of features to a budget camera. I don’t think it really made it a good enough tool to still bring onto sets though, in 2011 or now. It’s stable for a hack but it voids your warranty and didn’t raise the quality of the video enough to validate its inherent risk.


The Rest


Adobe After Effects CC: Warp Stabilizer VFX | Adobe
A major upgrade to the much-loved Warp Stabilizer, VFX adds the ability to choose which objects within a scene get stabilized, reverse a stabilization, and preserve a scene's original scale to fix tricky shots such as aerial fly-throughs.


Editing long form with FCPX…PART ONE | Philip Johnston | HD Warrior
I came to a halt when a client had DV footage to edit as we all know FCPX does not entertain ingesting footage that was not shot on a card but you can import footage so my problem was how to get DV footage into my Mac. After extensive research I opted for a Black Magic Design board that would bring my HD footage via HDMI


Cinematographer Profile: David Kruta | IMVDb
Inspiration as a filmmaker can come from all different places. For DP David Kruta, he was able to succeed in his current career by drawing influence from his previous careers, including his time spent as a graphic designer and as a dish washer. Since his days washing dishes, David has gone on to work as a DP in the film world, the commercial world, and in the music video world with directors like Michael Lawrence, Grant Singer and Eli Stonberg.


THE HISTORY AND SCIENCE OF COLOR TEMPERATURE | FilmmakerIQ
Color can carry a lot emotional information in film – one type of information it can convey a sense of temperature. Learn about history and science behind Color Temperature. it’s application for opposite effects in Spike Lee’s “Do the Right Thing” and the Coen Brother’s “Fargo” and how you can apply them in your own productions.


New Lens Turbo NEX adapter auctions (Minolta, Canon, Nikon and Pentax). And first impression report | SonyAlphaRumors
Optically it’s better than I expected. I took a few pictures with the Lens Turbo and with a dumb adapter from the same distance, only changing the FL to get the same FOV. The images looked sharper with Lens Turbo than with a dumb adapter, though I didn’t do any measurements, so I don’t know yet if the resolution or contrast improved or the lens is simply better on the long end.

It's easy to say that the Video Tripod are all essentially the same except for their size. With few exceptions, they serve the same purpose and work with the same mechanisms. Video tripod systems include the tripod legs as well as a fluid head to complete them. The head and the tripod can be purchased separately. Buying as a system, however, reduces the risk of inconsistency in your equipment. If you are in the market for your first system, or even want to upgrade, I recommend purchasing a ready-to-use all-in-one system. If this list is sorted by price, starting with the lowest, we start with the possible hybrid tripod systems. These systems include a video head mounted on photofixed feet. With the new Befree series of aluminum or carbon fiber legs and the Befree live video head Manfrotto is leading.

Sony GV-D200 review

Image
Sony GV-D200 I've been using a Sony GV-D200 deck to transfer old Video8 and Hi8 tapes. Some of these tapes are over twenty years old, and no longer having a Hi8 camcorder that worked I was concerned that if I didn't do something about transferring them to a more modern format soon, I might never be able to. While Sony no longer make camcorders that use these tapes - that I know of - Sony does still sell the GV-D200 deck (or Video Walkman, as it's sometimes labelled.) They also offer the GV-D800, which is almost identical but adds a small LCD screen for about $120 more. I didn't think I'd need a screen since I was using this to capture to the computer, but you will need an external monitor when you first set it up. Physically, the device is small. At 5 7/8" wide, 5 3/8" deep and 2" high, it's the smallest video deck I've encountered. I used to have a Video8 deck that I thought was small; and it was twice as deep and twice as high. The t...

Response: Which iPhone to Get?

Image
In response to my iPhone musings, I got the following reader email which actually sums up a lot of my second and third thoughts too: You might have a point about the fancier camera, but otherwise I would buy the smaller model. Its screen is about the same size as that of my Nexus 4, and I don't feel at all like it limits me with a too-small screen. But I do sometimes stretch to get my thumb the reach to the other corner of the screen. It is plenty big for a phone. A phone is a pocket thing. (Well, in my case it lives an ancient REI soft sunglasses case that I have on my belt.) Ubiquitous, handy, convenient, almost always with me. Small is crucial for all of that. Certainly a large screen is cool, but you need a place to put it: don't break a fundamental feature of a pocket phone by getting too big. That is what your small tablet is for. I have my phone with me almost always. I have my Nexus 7 tablet with me nearly as much. The bigger screen is great, yet it fits in some...

Should you buy the Sony NEX-FS100 Kit Lens?

Image
The Sony NEX-FS100 is available in two configurations: B & H : NEX-FS100U Camcorder only $4,999 B & H : NEX-FS100U (with 18-200mm lens) $5,599 But what does that extra $600 get you? It get's you this: Sony 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 Zoom Lens for NEX Camera This lens is also available separately for $799.99, so at $200 off you'd think everyone would be jumping on it. But not so fast... In his article about switching from the Canon 5D Mark II to the Sony NEX-FS100 , Paul Antico  at Need Creative says of the kit lens: 7) Its 18-200 F3.6-6.3 kit lens absolutely sucks and should be avoided (thankfully, you can order it without one) [ 1 ] But is it that bad? At B & H 's site, 43 reviews give it an average of 4.6 out of 5 stars. That's not a bad rating, though many of these people are using it for stills, and the most common complaint noted is how large and heavy it is. Of course this feeling of size would be exacerbated when you put it on a tiny camera ...
