For all my photo editing needs, I use the open sourced GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program). It's basically the same thing and it's legally free. And it's got a much simpler learning curve and looks just like Photoshop.

The Mac Pros have not been updated for a while for these reasons: 1) They have been pulled from the market in Europe due to EU regulations on (lead?) or something like that. They will be replaced soon with a new replacement series to be announced June 10. 2) On June 10, they will (it's claimed)...

Oh, and just one FYI; you need to stay away from the new iMacs. They have replaced the 3.5in 6G drives in the order models with 2.5in 3G notebook hard drives that run at 5200RPM. MUCH SLOWER. Also, the new screens are not bolted in, they're merely glued in cheaply. It's not known whether or not...

Personally, I spent $10+K on the Mac Pro, $1400+ on the 16TB RAID5 array, $1300 for the OWC Mercury Accelsior_E2 PCI Express SSD, a few bucks on the cables, $1K for the monitor, $180 for the external eSata2 BD-RW drive and an extra $60 on the old fashioned crumb-catcher keyboard Apple doesn't...

Now I want Bacon. Job well done.

If I knew about the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera, I couldn't have bought the Canon. I want that.

Within 2 weeks, I'll have a new office/studio space for me that has a 20'x10' smooth concrete wall that will be painted chroma green. There will be a dedicated Mac Pro FCPX station on the opposite end of the room. Now, besides patting myself on the back for setting this up, I need to know what...

Oh if Kubrick were alive, he'd have us all schooled in this subject in a single post. See "Barry Lyndon."

I've seen some HD video that were taken on cameras with f/0/95 lenses and they're mindblowing. What cameras offer lenses like this? Personally, I'm a Canon whore myself (video, DSLRs...) and they offer nothing less than f/1.2. What HD video cameras with a 4:2:2 colorspace offers lenses less...

Looking for experienced cameraman with Glidecam and/or Steadicam experience. Also looking for an experienced DOP for same project. There will be interviews also. Location: Weeki Wachee, FL. Serious offer, pay negotiable. NON-UNION shoot only. DM me here. Thanks!

I tried to use it in a few unique situations, but I couldn't get it to a darn thing I wanted. So, I called the company and started asking questions. The rep laughed when I said I tried to do "X," he said it wasn't meant for that and wouldn't do that. I also asked why put WiFi on the camera if it...

I got one of these cameras as a freebie, but not an athlete, I have no freakin' idea what the hell to do with it. I know if cat shoot 720p at 60fps in case I need some slow motion footage (and that's cool) but I know nothing about these except what I've read on their website. So, of course, I...

B&H is one of the most reputable companies in the world. And you don't see many of these around anymore. I buy ALL my equipment from them... for the last 10 years.

I do watch a lot of films, that's why I say that every film has it's own merits. Now, it may not be a positive one. For example... When do we get to tar and feather Uwe Boll?

Here's the official release: http://robertyannetta.com/post/50268191073/my-new-film-project I'll be honest, it's doesn't say much. There's not a lot I can say about it now (since I'm not at liberty to say yet), but for a project that hopes to make the viewer rethink reality, it may be worth...

There's a two second coda after the credits at the end of the new Evil Dead movie with Bruce Campbell saying "Groovy" before the screen goes black. The highlight of the entire film.

Evil Dead (2013) - NO SPOILERS I took my 16 year old son to see the new "reimaging" of the Evil Dead franchise. Being one of the biggest fans of this series, I thought they'd honor it in some small way, but sadly, they didn't. For the first time in my life, I actually wrote a letter to...

I just got a new GoPro Hero3 White camera (it was a giveaway, I paid nothing for it) and have NO freaking clue what to do with it. I'm no athlete, but it shoots 720/60p so it may be good if I want some slow motion footage.

I originally wanted this: http://usa.canon.com/cusa/professional/products/professional_cameras/hd_video_cameras/xf300 but the low light performance is crap. So I settled for this: http://usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/camcorders/consumer_camcorders/vixia_hf_g20 since it has a f/1.9...
