Innovative new RED BAG

2009-11-19T15:37:00.002-05:00

Petrol has just come out with a great new camera bag for the RED One.

Has a cool accessory tray thats removable if you wanna transport the camera with viewfinder attached. Plenty of customized dividers as any camera bag should have, wheels to tote it around airports, and constructed with ballistic nylon. I like this bag.

What a great ad, Toshiba!

Lady Gaga's bizarre new video

2009-11-16T16:33:00.005-05:00

This video, directed by Francis Lawrence, is well..uh..ermm.. yea i don't know really what to make of it. I will say this: It includes a shot of a hairless cat and thats where it crosses the line for me. Sleeping in bed next to burnt corpse with spark shooting out of her tits....thats just dandy.

Cremaster anyone?

7D Short

2009-11-10T22:46:00.002-05:00

This short is a great example of how intimate and personal video journalism can be with this new crop of DSLRs and at the same time yield greater results not only in content, but visual quality.

HP tilt shift ad

2009-11-09T17:06:00.003-05:00

The HP "Create Amazing" campaign is a global tilt shift campaign envisioned by McGarryBowen for HP shot, in Shanghai, New York, Santorini, London & Istanbul. The sets were shot in L.A. This cut also includes some of my existing footage from Rome & Sydney.

I love the perspectives these crews got in each of their locations, its as if they had a hot air balloon, for a bird's eye view, wherever they went!

Baraka Bluray

2009-11-06T16:53:00.001-05:00

Film Critic Roger Ebert recently reviewed a copy of the upcoming Blu-ray release of 'Baraka', which is due to hit store shelves on October 28th. Calling it "the finest video disc I have ever viewed or ever imagined," the famous critic concluded that "Baraka by itself is sufficient reason to acquire a Blu-ray player."

Soccer Hero

2009-11-05T16:14:00.002-05:00

I dunno whats crazier, the fact that people created a giant wall-sized control pad and video screen or that these kids can kick soccer balls so well.

We Were Once Fairytales by Spike Jonze

2009-10-27T17:24:00.002-04:00

Here's the now infamous short film by Where the Wild Things Are director, Spike Jonze, starring Kanye West. Its worth a chuckle here and there, atleast AT Kanye's awkward portrayal of his drunk self at a club. I must say, the surprise ending is what ties this whole thing together for me. Check it out

NEW Sony EXR

2009-10-23T15:29:00.002-04:00

the successor to the EX1 was announced, THE EX1-R. Apparently with changes that come solely from customer feedback. From the photos it seems they changed the hand strap and a couple button placements, in terms of ergonomic changes. There's an updated CMOS processor as well and the EX1-R will feature the ability to use the new SXS-1 cards a reliable and more affordable option to the rather pricey SXS PRO cards.

5D in a Beta Cam Body!

2009-10-22T17:53:00.002-04:00

An Australian company has built a camera by rigging a 5D mark II to an old BetaCam body. This is sorta incredible....sorta.

More from the party

2009-10-20T12:10:00.004-04:00

One thing I must say is I wish we prepared more than 50 gift bags cuz we had a lot of people asking for them who didn't receive anything. I guess we didn't expect all the love! Thanks to the Grooming Lounge, the Stop Modern Slavery charity, DJ Fabiana, DJ Inferno, Crash Boom Bang, and The Washington Design Center for donating items for the bags.

The 8112 Showcase Event @ The Reserve was a great success!

2009-10-19T16:37:00.003-04:00

Thank you to everyone who came out to our event last night. Thank you to The Reserve for being such great hosts and a great venue. I hope everyone got a chance to pick up some information about human trafficking and the Stop Modern Slavery organization.

We will see you all at our next event!

DJ hero ad

2009-10-17T01:59:00.002-04:00

This is very cool and creative, but its one of those ads that doesn't really have much to do with the gameplay itself, if anything. So i guess i'm looking forward to the game?

Helicopter boys

2009-10-15T10:39:00.002-04:00

Nikon's new camera the COOLPIX s1000pj has a projector built in. So why wouldn't you want to make a dance about it? This is cool.

D3 Details released

2009-10-13T17:22:00.003-04:00

Nikon's awaited D3 details coming from the British Journal of Photography indicate that the D3 will not have 1080p video! It mentions only 720p/24 video. This is quite a fault in my opinion seeing the direction the DSLR industry is going. What's Nikon's deal??

Great 5d clip

2009-10-12T17:03:00.003-04:00

I didn't expect something this fun and engaging when reading the title, so this was a great little surpise! What a fun video! I really love the angles and fast pacing of this.

Free 3D animations anybody can make!

2009-10-07T15:04:00.003-04:00

xtranormal is company that has designed a user friendly way that anyone can make customized 3D animated scenes, with text to voice capabilities. So no voice actors needed, all you have to do is type what you want to say. They've designed a need little piece of software to help build your scene and move the 3D characters within their environment and change camera angles, etc. All this seemed dandy and a ton of fun until you realize its for Windows only. Wamp wamp, bummer.

Anyway, its still pretty neat, and I can see a big future for apps like this, and I hear its being used it schools to allow students to make skits and for psychology classes. Just gotta get mac people involved. WHAT ARE YOU THINKING!?
