Latest Model Syndrome – The 7D is here…

October 5th, 2009

Well I am most definitely supposed to keep on the “leading edge” of technology, but  is technology what really creates anything?

I think not.. I think that technology only provides more effective tools for realizing a vision.  When is the last time a piece of technology did anything on its own without a human telling it exactly what to do?

Never.

Cause it hasn’t happened yet.. Machines are stupid, they only know what we tell them…

Enough talk, I had to post this video created with the new 7D, Canon’s smaller chip brother to the 5D.  [It does have a 24p setting though!].  This is an example of “New Cinema” as far as I’m concerned.

Moving & Powerful.  Photographic.

I thought this was a pretty powerful video sequence.  The colour and feel hits the mark.

Inspiring illustrations & subscribing to blogs with Google Reader

June 30th, 2009

I’ve been using Google Reader to subscribe to blogs and it has been the easiest way to keep updated yet… you can check out the frosted starred items.

Once you get into adding the subscriptions it becomes “Google” accessible..  aka a reliable iPhone/Blackberry RSS reader, wherever you are.  If your new to RSS, it stands for “Really Simple Syndication” and is a great standard way to keep track of a ton of your favorite web sites when they update.

Social commentary is a favorite art topic, so here are a couple illustrations from ABDU ZEEDU.

Canon 5d Mark II – Premier Pro CS4 1080p Workflow

March 26th, 2009

Well, I finally got my hands on one of these Canon 5D mark 2′s.  I’m using the camera strictly for video and it is working beautifully.  This clip shows what sort of “photographer inspired” imagery can be done with this thing.  There are many drawbacks to using this camera for video, but there are also amazing features like: interchangeable lenses, the full frame sensor, and extreme low light sensitivity!

Warning: Music is a bit of a downer.  Skip to the motorcycle video if you want something a little more “upbeat”.
