    Lighting a Prison Cell

    Ellipsoidal/ smoke machine/ for the bars, I would make it out of either tin or black foil. Then experiment with the distance, meaning how close you put the homemade gobo in front of your light. I recently did a shoot where I folded some 2' wide black foil to make it thicker, then cut out...

    Do KinoFlo Bulbs go bad?

    It's been a while since I've used Kino lights, but I don't think it would change color temp over time. The bulbs are filled with a gas that when the electricity flows through it, will produce charged electrons that emit light coming in contact with the phosphorous coating, which lines the inner...

    Lens Turbo II Anyone tried the new EF-M4/3RDS Version yet?

    For $160.00 bucks I figured it's worth a try, the other mounts that use the newer optics and better coatings seem to be as good, and sometimes test better than the speedbooster. It's suppose to correct edge to edge sharpness, handle flare better and eliminate the "blue dot issue" version one had...

    Thought I would post a lens test using the Samayng 12mm t2.2 M4/3rds mount Cinema lens. I had horrible luck with this lens, it took four copies to get one where I could actually turn the barrel, unfortunately the fourth copy was by far the softest of the bunch. I didn't bother making another...

    Best Way to Light a Room for YouTube Videos

    Yeah, if creative enough you can use home depot clip on work lights, use fluorescent bulbs with parchment paper (NOT WAX PAPER!!) for diffusion, and proper placement will give good results.

    Need advice, Is the 5d2 (non raw) still an acceptable image today?

I know all to well about the moiré issues on the 5d2, which actually isn't a big deal for this shoot as it's a controlled environment...

    Went today to watch Philomena' and boy, was I pleasantly surprised. I found the cinematography beautiful throughout the film. It was primarily shot on Alexa, but some scenes were 8mm, super 16, and vhs tape. It was easy to tell what was what and why they used each specific camera for the scene...

    GH3 Panasonic Lumix DMC-G6, W/ Samyang 16mm T2.2 Test

    I wanted to do a test with the combo, and I have to say, these two work well together, I would get the m4/3rds if I were to do it again due to the gh4 coming out, I bought the Canon mount so I could use it for stills on my T3i, It does not work on my 5d as it was designed for an APSC sized...
