Hey guys! Been a while since I've been active, it's been genuinely busy, but I see myself here quite a bit for the next few months. I just today started post production on a feature! I'm working with a production company in LA, they shot it May-October and they're handing ALL of post off to me...

I have one client in particular that likes to do their own mix on every video. Works for me, but every time I send them video they have problems opening it in ProTools.

So, our Easter series at our church is "Easter, It's a Big Deal" and as one of the media guys it's my job to think up promo videos. I had an idea for this one that I just couldn't let go. The unofficial working title is "Bunnyzilla" and it involved a lot of cardboard boxes, construction paper...

So, every gear nerd has a deep desire to know all the tech ins and outs for the movies they watch, right? Well, just found out about a pretty killer site that not only lists what cameras and lenses, but even more detailed info down to the film stock and speed. Fun to read and dig through, hope...

So, not normally a massive football fan, but I'm spending the next couple of days prepping my edit system and consolidating hard drives getting ready to head to New Orleans and shoot/edit during Super Bowl media week. Along with a few guys from our team, I'll be shooting b-roll and interviews...

Sony just announced their new digital camera, it's the world's first digital, full frame camera with a pellicle mirror. Instead of flipping up to block the eye piece and expose the sensor, it's two way glass so the sensor and optical viewfinder can see through the lens simultaneously. Only...

Hey everyone, I've been asking a lot of questions lately, this one is for the audio pros. I'm setting up a new edit suite in two weeks and have some new monitors. It's a traditional post suite: desk/computer towards the back of the room facing the far wall, couch immediately in front of desk...

Drool away! What do you guys think? Codec and audio grip sound like the best feature upgrades to me. No 24p though? http://news.doddleme.com/equipment/specs-for-panasonic-gh3-leaked/?utm_source=News+Template+version+09%2F05%2F12+++&utm_campaign=9%2F512+us&utm_medium=email

Hey! So, doing research for something that could turn out to be pretty cool. It might be obvious by the blatant question being asked, but yeah, looking into doing a musical. I've seen some of the classic musicals, not too many modern musicals, so for those who have seen ANY movie musical...

Hey, for those of you that have done it, where's the best place to get 8mm telecine and a digital file from? I'm working with a new client that has an 8mm reel from the 70's she wants incorporated, it's already developed, just need a usable version. How long is turnaround? Thanks for the help!

Hey guys! After a long summer where pretty much our entire team was busy with other projects, we're jumping back into production and it looks like our first scheduled shoot is going to be an effects/choreography test scene for a larger future project. We've done a lot of action and stories...

Hey guys! So, get this: I mentioned in a thread a while back that "I'm not a fan of Ikan hardware". Well, Ikan customer service recently contacted me after reading the comment and opened up a great dialogue and it turns out that I'm local to their main office. This last Friday I stopped by, met...

Ikan launched what seems to be a pretty killer app for iPad today: Cinema Forms. $9.99 Note: My iPad's batteries are totally flat, so not testing it out yet. This is all from the email I got. I'll be trying it later and update with a review. There's usually enough iPads on set that if we...
