I'm doing a low budget music video in a couple of weeks. The band have just sent the below picture of the location. I'm thinking of backlighting (reverse key), decorating the set with outdoor practical lights and filling the place with a hazer. Maybe throw some neon colours in there too as the...

I posted these images a couple of days ago with the wrong colour space. Here they are with the right colour space so you can see how easy the R5 matches with the C500 MKII. These have had no grading, just LUT applied and 5% saturation added. R5 was shot with the basic 'shoot all day' 4K, non HQ...

You can't tell from this crappy jpg upload but the R5 in normal 4K mode cuts perfectly fine with C500 MKII as a B Cam for interviews. More than enough resolution, particularly if most of it is blurred like mine normally are LOL. Would be great to see Clog2/3 for their extra dynamic range, but I...

Just picked mine up. My first impression, this camera is smoking hot - now back to my shoot.

No, it's a wonderful camera. Here's a shot from last week: The R5 will be a baby brother.

I have a client who wants some BTS captured on a 360 cam. I've done this in the past with a GoPro Max, but I'm a little out-of-the-loop with current 360 camera. What are the best cameras around today? I don't need anything super-pricey but something easy to set up to shoot and simple to wash...

I use my drone all the time. In fact with lockdown I've been using it more than my C500 MKII. And I agree with Andree, treat the footage with care and you can get great results from the Mavic 2. Unfortunately, uploading pictures on here turns everything to mush so you'll just have to take...

Having done a few socially-distant shoots in the past couple of weeks I'm putting together an article on safe working protocols for small crew/solo operators. It's aimed at making sure we, and our onscreen talent, are as safe as reasonably possible, but also to reassure clients that shoots can...

What is everyone doing during lockdown to keep the creative juices flowing? I've knocked out a couple of charity videos and I'm doing a bit of photography in the back garden/yard. Might shoot a short in the house next week if I can convince my missus to act in it.

And if you still don't believe me, here's a picture:

That's great. Definitely one of my favourite US cities. I filmed a doc there on Hurricane Katrina years ago. I had a great local crew who took me to all the cool places the tourists don't know about.

Yes, they made a paid update. The original is free. I mainly use the Pocket Light Meter to get a ballpark on the colour temperature.

I’ve got a bunch of them. The one I usually fire up is Pocket Light Meter. The other good one is Cine Meter.

I use an iPhone App. Very easy. Very accurate.

Here's an example of a shot with a lot of dynamic range where the highlights need to be brought down to retain detail. First shot is how it appears in-camera. Nothing applied. Second shot is with a technical LUT applied BEFORE exposure adjustment. Note the highlight clipping. Next we...

What speeds are people getting for offloading their CFexpress cards with the Sandisk card reader? I'm sure I should be getting faster than 40MB/s - albeit I'm transferring to drives simultaneously.

Just give them the damn Oscar. Truly, mesmerizing. Oh, and I went to the 5:00pm Imax screening at my local, and the film finished at 19:17. Truly, spooky.

Got mine today, an early Christmas present:-) The finish is slightly different from the prototype I had, feels ever so slightly more finessed. It also has a lower profile retaining screw on the handle. Other than that it looks exactly the same. Still waiting on accessories. Mid-Jan has been...

Just checked - see pic - and realised mine is a peli 1610, not 1620. My bad.

My desk is getting a little crowded:
