Kickstarting TRIUMPH
How we raised $12,000 in 30 days for our feature film. Note: This is a repost from a post I authored at the TRIUMPH67 website. Upon first hearing about crowdfunding via kickstarter I was obsessed with how I was eventually going to put it to use on a film project. I had thought it would be for…
FCPX and XDCAM Workflow
Did you jump right in and download Final Cut Pro X today? Did you get your mind readjusted to the new editing paradigm? Did you freak out when you couldn’t get your XDCAM footage into FCPX? And then have another little freak out about what you had done when you saw the unrelenting tweet stream?! Relax. Keep…
Thunderbolt Macs + Speed
Apple’s recent lineup of laptops and iMacs are fairly impressive and offer a lot of performance for the price. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a better time to get a new computer. Look at the 2011 MacBook Pro 17″ 2.30GHz with 8GB of RAM — it is damn near as fast as the…
DSLR Video Gear Bag
Need an all-in-one roller or backpack bag for your video DSLR gear that is good for airline/international travel and fits your 17″ laptop? I can easily recommend ThinkTank bags.

Sony FS100 Review
The Super-35mm sensor Sony FS100 video camera has been out on the market for several weeks now and yet there still seems to be confusion and a lack of good hands-on material. Probably because those that have the camera are having so much fun shooting with it that they haven’t made time to sit down and type up their thoughts and experiences! Certainly since the FS100 showed up around here we have been very busy shooting work or feature film footage — and enjoying almost every minute of it!
What It Is: A great replacement for the Sony EX1/EX3 and any DSLR for filmmaking. Like the offspring of the EX3 and the Canon 7D, with the ability to use most any lens you might have access to. A camera with a real workflow for shooting. A true 1080/60p device. A low-light rock star.
