8112 covers the Inauguration

In the midst of inauguration weekend/week, 8112, in association with Washington Life Magazine, has been covering all the premiere events in DC. You can check them out here

No NAB for RED

RED is skipping NAB this year due to a minor delay from one of their parts vendors; meaning less working prototypes by April.

Instead, when all is ready they will be holding their own RED day.

8112 will be there!

New from JVC

Just introduce, the new JVC GY-HM100 looks interesting. And next month we have the even more interesting GY-HM700, aka the bigger brother. Both of these cameras record 35Mbps 1080pHD directly to inexpensive SDHC media cards in native quicktime. So it imports directly into Final Cut. NICE!!! especially the part about using SD cards....those XD cards are expensive as hell for our EX1s. It's also ultra compact, at only 3lbs. This thing looks cool! Except the 1/4" CCD. I'd like a larger size sensor. This looks to be just under $4k



No pictures released yet of the GY-HM700 but some preliminary features include:
1. Compact shoulder form factor of less than 4 kg (8.9 lbs.) in operation
2. High quality 1/3” progressive 3CCD with unique JVC’s H/V spatial offset
3. Newly developed 14x high-quality interchangeable lens by Canon
4. Newly developed high-quality LCOS viewfinder
5. Newly developed large LCD display
6. Double-memory hybrid recording system using optional KA-MR100G SxS memory card recorder
7. HD SDI output, SD down-convert capability over IEEE 1394 interface, USB 2.0 interface

The GY-HM700 is scheduled for delivery in March 2009. More details will be released in February 2009.

8112 had the pleasure of shooting an interview, along side producer Bill Delano, with writer Neil Howe. Neil Howe and William Strauss are authors known for their theories about a recurrent cycle of generations in American history. At 8112 we've taken into account the differences of the new Millennial generation into how we produce and market our work. It was great to sit down and have a in depth interview with him.

Here are a couple books of theirs we recommend:
