We’ll Take Manhattan (BBC) added to the first page. There has to be more than this now. Anyone seen any out there? Send links and I'll update this.

"Conspiracy 365" for FMC on Movie Network Channels. We've been shooting with 3 F3s into Ki Pro Minis for 6 month. Wraps next week. Airs 14th of Jan 2012, 12 eps, 1 each month all year.
 
Both "Are You There, Chelsea" and "Jesse" are 30 minute comedies on American Network TV. "Are You There, Chelsea" will be a mid season replacement based on Chelsea Handlers book which will air in prime time.
 
We used the F3 alongside Red on 'This is England 88' Seriale which airs on C4 next week. It will probably be the main Camera on the Stone Roses Feature Length Documentary now we have the Slog upgrade.

I updated the first post for 'This is England 88'. Please let me know when the Stone Roses doc is done.

Just as an aside Zach Zamboni told me they are switching to S-Log on No Reservations and may use it in certain situations for The Layover.
 
Hey Douglas, How are you liking the 18x85, now that you've done a full movie and used the Mini. Still digging it? Any annoying things about it. Is it very sharp, after seeing it in a edit bay on a nice editing monitor (for weeks at a time, I'm sure..)etc. Still on the fence about getting one.
Would like to see some nice stills if you get the chance.

Trailer is a great grabber!

Thanks, J
