And no I haven't forgotten about new videos!
It hasn't slipped my mind that a number of new videos are on the horizon showing you guys my videography setup, going through the equipment and techniques to set up for a reliable interview scene using the new Rotolight LED ring light and the Rotolight microphone. The weather has been terrible here over the last week so I haven't had a chance to get out and do much filming and testing out of the new Rotolight products, but this is the job for today and next week!
Watch this space for plenty of 'Video Questions' videos and samples using the Rotolight kit!

Looks very impressive, but as usual a highly compressed Youtube product demo doesn't do it justice.. For all those interested in having the extra resolution to work with, as well as a newly developed MOS sensor then this camera may be your first port of call instead of the previously available Canon 1D-C.
It will be interesting to see how the industry responds to this new release, as many more productions working in a higher res to downscale later.
What interests me about it, is not only being able to capture footage in 4K/2K, but also 1080p HD slow motion at 50 and 60fps. My main drawback at the moment is using the 5D mark III setting of 720p for 50fps, which is fixed at that resolution. The higher bit-rate is very appealing too, despite recording in MOV file formats 100Mbps is a great advantage over the highly compressed Canon DSLR movie output files.
Lots of points to consider, and no mention of a price yet.. Hopefully Panasonic will be at BVE so I can get my hands on this bad boy!
What I'm up to now
Today I've been working on a video edit that I shot for Bremont Watches a couple of weeks ago; I had the pleasure of shooting a Behind The Scenes of the Bremont Watch Codebreaker launch, at Bletchley Park. In
fluenced by the cracking the enigma code, the new watch includes pieces of the infamous 'hut 6' as well as original punch cards from the Enigma machine. one of the biggest challenge I have as a single shooter is that; the uncertainty of what a client may want in the final edit leads to the excessive capturing of footage! I've got so sift through a good 1.5 hours of material and cut it down to 4! It is a challenge, but its just another reason why I do this!
