Selling all used gear from the studio, as part of the production effort for a new used gear sales site we are working on. This new site will become a part of our event production work. The new site should be up by the time all images and video for each item has been done. We will be shooting every day for the next 3 weeks, with no delays, which may, and do, happen often.
Shooting all of the photography and video for every studio item we have up for sale. This will include all electronics, furniture, props, designer clothing, wardrobe closet, film & digital cameras, lenses, and accessories.
We may select a few models to feature each item with a focus on advancing casting reach.
New site event party will kick off the new site and assist with sales & Local buyer pickup. All staff, support, sponsors, buyers and models will be invited. We will be talking about the first film during the event.
Also selling the home/office/studio and moving soon to a new space. More images and details to follow. Images will be featured both here and on the new site, ASAP. Casting selections will not delay daily shoot schedule with the daily item count moved up to 15 items per 1/2 day, 10-2. 21 days.
Still need 2nd DP. & production assistant.
The Value of Manual Focus, in Live View Mode
Posted in 60D, Digital Cine, Digital Cine Glass, Live View, Magnify, Manual on June 26, 2011
What is missed by most is the value of Manual focus in live view mode. This is not only true for video, but also for photography, when there is very little motion. If you are shooting macro, portrait, or any shot that can be taken with a monopod or tripod, the live view mode makes manual focus easy and perfect.
REMEMBER YOUR MAGNIFY BUTTON. It is on the top right of the back of the 60D, it looks like a magnifying glass. ALWAYS KEEP IN MIND BOTH YOUR 5X and 10X MAGNIFY OPTION TO CHECK FOCUS.
THIS CAN ONLY BE DONE IN MANUAL MODE. THIS CAN NOT BE STRESSED ENOUGH. ALWAYS REMEMBER YOUR VIDEO IMAGE MAYBE GOING UP ON THE BIG SCREEN AND FOCUS MUST BE LOCKED ON WHAT YOU WISH TO FEATURE IN EACH SHOT. THIS MAKES AF WORTHLESS with regard to DIGITAL CINE WORK.
Don’t forget to MOVE your focus box around with your control wheel on the back of your camera. The control wheel is on the outside edge of your set button. This is also explained in the video. This allows you to focus on the part of the shot you wish to feature the MOST. VERY IMPORTANT to practice with every shot and see the difference in the finished image or video frame.
What does matter is what you wish to feature in the shot and great bokeh. IT is the BOKEH that makes the truly beautiful shot. That magical BOKEH comes about from fast glass, that provides unique depth of field, DOF, and that glass is best found in MANUAL FOCUS, HIGH END PRO GLASS.
Focus Example Image…
Focus was placed on the lower front of the lens to feature the wood below.
Best explained in detail, during the last part of this video, starting at 2:57, under face detection mode, which looks like 2 eyes ; a nose, & a smile…

Excellent Side by Side Video that needs no words. First Rate work.
Canon 60D quick review video
Posted in 60D on May 18, 2011
You will notice two important aspects to the body that matter in video. The LCD monitor and the sound. We have been waiting for both to limit the extra costs for both on any other EOS body.
This allows more money where it matters, IN THE GLASS.

Leslie was first found in 2010 at SXSW. She is only getting better.
This is what we are looking for in musical talent. Leslie has it in Spades.
Price is out on the new F3! Or the Sony PMW-F3L
To much for our taste. At that price, the EPIC starts to look much better.
Sony does have a new model coming that might be in the sweet spot if it is not to pricey. That would be the NX, however the problem there is waiting around for it to come out. They seem to want the high end to come on board first, then slowing gain interest in the base unit design and potential. While their waiting, many may have moved on to another format, design, and company.
All that being said, Sony has our attention again, which is more than some are able to say.
