Recently worked on set with photographer, Tal Shpantzer, shooting in a wide variety of environments, on a Canon 5d with 2 Zylight Z90 led lights.
Zylights were used shooting a scale model paper NYC city block. Size and temperature were important on the scale model paper set. The lights were mounted on both a small [...]
The Tricaster is a beast. A box about the size of a Wiener Dog (I couldn’t think of anything else), the Tricaster can handle multiple SD camera inputs. It also has a cool feature that allows me to install a tiny application on any Mac or PC in our network so that the Tricaster can then “see” that computer and pull the desktop of that computer into my production.
Se trata de una respuesta simple a una cuestión que todo propietario de salón bailable enfrenta. Cómo maximizar la inversión en aquello que parece ser no más que un lugar con un sólo propósito y un público nocturno? Si hablamos de Magenta, los dueños del Salón “Fantástico”, ellos lo convierten en un Estudio de Grabación.
Eso [...]
As the sole IT administrator at on online agency here in New York City I find myself pretty busy with two things: finding space to store HD video and maintaining the machines that will access it. Speed is always an issue considering the HD file sizes we produce. We are constantly under siege with juggling firewire drives between machines – which eats up time.
It’s a simple answer to a question that every club owner faces. How do you maximize your investment in what appears to be a single purpose facility with a nighttime audience? If you’re Magenta, the owners of Club Fantastico, you turn it into a video production studio.
That’s what’s happening down in Once, Argentina, where Club [...]
The Manfrotto 503HDV, 535K kit contains the 503HDV Manfrotto 503 Series Pro Fluid Head, the Manfrotto MPRO 535 Carbon Fiber 2-Stage Video Tripod, the Manfrotto 520BALL and the MBAG100P.
There’s no doubt that HD is appealing. Pick up any production magazine and people are talking about the future of HD and beyond. Remember, though, you should focus on what you need to do the job today and tomorrow. HD adds cost and complexity, and if you’re not going to take advantage of the benefits today, why incur the cost today?
On first impression, the Anton/Bauer ElipZ light system feels super light and little flimsy. It’s made of black and blue plastic, although that plastic is durable lightweight high temperature polycarbonate. I can’t really test how durable is durable, as they’d like it back in the same condition they sent it. It reminded me of a Transformer I had as a kid, especially when it can fold down into a very compact form that keeps it protected in stowage (a very nice design touch).
Video editors now more than ever are constantly confronted with the problem of storage. In the fast-paced world of web media production, as production traffic increases, turn-around periods slim (shoot today for a next-week or even next-day delivery) post-production managers need to find resourceful (read: affordable) ways for fast, reliable and efficient storage. Here [...]
When the video editors need a high-performance RAID to work with 1080 HD footage, they are on a time crunch and can’t be twiddling their thumbs waiting for me to get the hardware working. I am happy to say that there was no thumb-twiddling done in our experience with the ProAvio EB8MS.
