A free 12 MB PDF of the Film and Digital Times Sony F5 and F55 96-page Report is now ready to download.
Major motion pictures shot with the F65 will be released this spring andsummer. I think everyone will be excited to see the results. But the overall price of the F65 may have been a little bit high for television production. We have always felt that prime time television is a Sony domain starting many years ago with the F900, and moving to the F23 and F35. Sony cameras were used to shoot quite a few shows. So, we wanted to get back our leadership position in that part of the market.
REVIEW - Panasonic AG-AC90 Camcorder | ADAM GARSTONE | Definition Magazine
For its very competitive price (around £1500 plus VAT) the AC90 is a really nicely packaged product. It’s lighter than it looks, but is made of good quality plastics and feels like it’ll stand up to the normal levels of abuse. It’s well balanced too, whether you are holding it at eye level or low level by the top handle. The audio controls are protected by translucent, smoked plastic covers and the LCD slides away into the front of the top handle, giving it a sort of lop-sided hammerhead shark look. Overall, it looks and feels a lot more expensive than it actually is.

Even without a retina display, the mini is a thoroughly pleasant device for reading. And dictating script notes via Siri feels enough like living in the future that I barely miss my flying car.

Darren Aronofsky & Danny Boyle Interview Each Other on Directing
| Alex Billington | First Showing
Way, way back in 2008, Fox Searchlight coordinated an awesome interview between two incredibly talented and brilliant filmmakers: Danny Boyle and Darren Aronofsky. It was recorded as a back-and-forth interview between the then-directors of Slumdog Millionaire (soon to win Best Picture) and The Wrestler. At first we posted one 4-minute segment years ago, but Movies.com has since found all 7 pieces to form a full 30-min interview between these filmmakers, so watch if you've got the time. Enjoy!
The Seven Deadly Sins of Screenwriting | Marshall Heyman
| The Wall Street Journal
Taken from screenwriter Neil Landau's book "The Screenwriter's Roadmap: 21 Ways to Jumpstart Your Story
"2. A passive protagonist.
For Mr. Landau, Johnny Depp’s Barnabas Collins in the recent “Dark Shadows” reboot didn’t “have an emotional passionate goal” which meant the movie felt mechanical. Alternatively, both the lead characters in the French hit “The Intouchables” felt “drive by their active needs.” That’s the way to go.
