Red Rock Micro just announced an electronic view finder. And no, I am not going to bitch about it because I think it is a product with great potential.

Killing your baby
No, I am not planning to kill my cute baby girl Victoria, I am quoting Stu in his book “The DV Rebel Guide” (if I remember correctly, lost the bock when I moved). What he means is that once you give away your footage for someone else to edit, they are going to do everything but what you originally had in mind with it.…

Adobe just announce the release of Photoshop Elements 9 and Premiere Elements 9. I know most of you prefer to use FCP but I think the Premiere product line deserves some visibility, especially since it can work with native H.264 files and is the only viable option for Windows users.…

I dont post clips (from others) often (maybe I should?), but I think this one deserve some visibility for many reasons. First because free running (aka parkour) is cool, second, because it was shot with an HDSLR (Canon 7D) and, finally, because it was made by a visitor of the blog (who turned into a friend) who could use some exposure: Chad Bonanno.…

Just a quick follow up on my post about the new Red Rock Micro Nano Rigs announcement. I receive an email from Brian, and he is not too happy about my comments on the announcement. Well, I would not be either if I was in the RRM gang.…
