I think the guy in the vid just put it on there for demo purposes.. I would just put the cage from the shoulder rig on the tripod. I want the ability to go from shoulder to tripod quickly. My subjects are 1%'ers, so I don't want to be futzing around and having people wait while I re-equip for...

Did you guys see this field monitor. I found the vid helpful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAQxzmLHR2U hmm.. I'm going to clarify how I found it helpful just in case, this is where I learned that the Hdmi out on the T2i was not 1080 when recording.. so it helped me rule out some options.

Hahah, it was cool Steve dropped by for sure. I have to give them credit, they have the best site (to me and my skill level) of all the rigs I've seen sofar.. The videos helped me a lot when it came to what I need on a rig.

A quick note, I did pull the trigger on a new T3i, and Jag Field Runner, with a tripod plate. I was very torn with CPM products. I really liked the CPM cubed shoulder cage... but I found myself trying to balance a fixed budget between the t2 with CPM, or a t3 with the jag35. I just could...

Very cool of you to sound in Steve!.. Damn, that is service.

I saw that too.. One of the blogs used this as an argument to suggest buying the cheap $28 dollar external monitor instead of the lilliput. Honestly, i think I will avoid an external monitor for now. Maybe, I will get the eyepiece thingy.. Hrm. I dunno.. and then the damn t3i has a swivel...

ahh I see the Jag 35 has a base plate too..

Daaamn! that looks pretty perfect.. Haha, and I was just starting to check out the jag35 field runner. The sidewinder looks pretty damn killer, because I dont see how the field runner would connect to a tripod. The only rub for the sidewinder is his comment on the flex built into the plate...

Hahha, nice.. Well, it seems decent enough in principle.. and it would free me up to have a tad better rig budget. I am starting to like the CPM film tools rig, but I am having trouble deciding... I'm tall, so if I keep the camera at eye level, it's often too high for my subject, so I was...

Thanks for the post CV.. thats exactly what I was getting wary about.. If I start fiddling with zoom, and focusing, I'm sure to be on the road to sadness fairly quickly. I am going to start watching for deals on prime canon lenses. I think.. I am best off going with 'less but better'...

Thanks Phil, the more I read, the more I conclude I have underestimated what it took to film with DSLR. ... hah, I really thought I could clip on my rode, maybe buy a grip and go to town.. I really did not plan on spending 900+ on a rig and external monitor hahaha.. which I am sure is an...

Heya all, I'm transitioning from an Xacati 1010HD to the Canon T2i for shooting a low budget music video. The first thing I am concerned with, I understand I will be manually focusing the t2i. I also plan on filming action, mud bogging, wake boarding etc... I need a budget rig that will let...

NM, found it! Thx.

Thanks for the kind words, I am happy to answer any questions I can. In most recent years, I did efforts in Ben Button, T4, Prince of Persia, and Sorcerers Apprentice right now. Some are just set extensions, some are concept art, and some are matte painting.

Greetings, Thank you for bearing with me while I take my first few steps into this project. Let me start by saying this is my first attempt at video/film. My background has always been on the concept art and matte painting side of film and I finally wanted to see the image from the other...

Ears and eyes =). Which forum would you suggest for rougher type clips? It seems like the Showcase forum has more polished work than I have.

I do have a quick question, I'm at a minor loss for where to post my rough clips for insight. The work is heading towards a documentary/show about the rigors of a band in the indie country/rap scene. I've got several 2 minute spots that capture some moments on youtube, and I plan on slowly...

Here are a couple more recent pieces. Hopefully not too big for everyone's monitors.

Greetings all, I am glad I found the community here. I'm a concept artist and matte painter by trade, but I find myself slowly getting into the basics of video and micro productions. I really hope to improve and learn some techniques while still retaining the ability to be a one man show and...
