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. I just did a whirl­wind video shoot in the Tus­cany region of Italy and imme­di­ately knew it would be a DSLR shoot ver­sus a large-camcorder shoot.…

My Feature Film Premiere

At long last. After three years of labor­ing behind the cam­era, in front of the edit­ing com­puter, over week­ends and late nights, we have a fin­ished fea­ture film. TRIUMPH67 pre­mieres on Fri­day, April 15th, 7:00pm at the Minneapolis-St. Paul Inter­na­tional Film Fes­ti­val. I’d love to see you there! I shot, edited and co-produced this nar­ra­tive drama…

Abel­Cine has a new brief post­ing with an overview of lenses for Sony’s F3 cam­era com­ing out next month. I’m very excited by the pos­si­bil­i­ties of dif­fer­ent glass on this new cam­era as the old Sony EX3 had inter­change­able lenses but the real­ity wasn’t of much use, due to mag­ni­fi­ca­tion fac­tors of up to 5.4X on 35mm lenses (one of the draw­backs of the smaller 1/2″ sen­sor but great for wildlife/extreme tele­photo work). The new Nikon and Canon adap­tors for the F3 still have a slight mag­ni­fi­ca­tion of about 1.5X with full frame lenses.

Canon T2i 4k Firmware Prank

4k firmware prank

There was a lot of inter­net buzz amongst the DSLR com­mu­nity in the past 48-hours when it was recently announced (leaked, teased… make up your own def­i­n­i­tion there) on YouTube and var­i­ous other blogs that some intre­pid hack­ers had come up with a firmware hack for the Canon T2i/550d DSLR cam­era (you know, the one…

A Film Triumph

The past cou­ple of months has seen a sud­den flurry of work, from out­door loca­tion shoot to For­tune 100 cor­po­rate green-screen video, to pro­duc­tions fea­tur­ing ani­mals and babies. But the thing I’m most excited about, per­son­ally, is the fea­ture film I shot, edited and co-produced, TRIUMPH67, is now off to the major film fes­ti­vals and vir­tu­ally complete!
