Wevi’s wobble but they don’t break upIDX’s new Wevi CW-5HD wireless HD system will have you looking for hidden wires and cackling maniacally when you don’t find them
If I hadn’t seen it myself, I wouldn’t have believed it. I still don’t quite believe it. I just saw an on-camera HD wireless transmitter perform spectacularly, with almost no latency and no breakup at 50’. more »Lighting diagrams for the Mac: OmnigraffleI want applications that get out of my way and let me work. That includes lighting diagrams. This is what works for me…
I don’t have a lot of time to learn new software packages, so I tend to fall in with packages that don’t require me to read the manual. That’s why Omnigraffle works for me. more »Go craaaaazy: fill from the key side!Lighting isn’t a formula—unless you find one that works. Like this one.
In a recent article I wrote about how I like to fill from the key side, and I’ve since received a couple of requests for an explanation of what I’m talking about. more »

It’s still not the camera!My recent shoots with the HVX-200 don’t look good just because of the camera. It’s how we used it.
Today, on the CML-Basics list, someone posted that they liked the look of my recent HVX-200 projects so much that they were thinking of asking for an HVX-200 on their next low-budget feature project. This was my response: more »

Advertisement Ooops, we did it againWherein a small crew on a low budget makes an HVX-200 look vastly better than it ever should.
Recently I wrote of a wildly successful music video shoot I did with the HVX-200. Well, we did it again. A few weeks ago I shot a music video project with director Jono Schaferkotter. The project turned out spectacularly well in spite of working with an eager, but inexperienced, crew and an HVX-200. Between picking shots that worked within the confines of what we could achieve with the gear we had, along with some basic color correction in Final Cut Studio using Magic Bullet Looks, the project looked much better than it had any right to, considering the budget was about $200. more »

Color Workflows With Different Video Formats
Getting Video In and Out of Color
One of the most confusing issues that comes up frequently with new users of Color is how to get in and out of Color with different types of video formats. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to clear up the confusion by presenting the four main workflows Color can utilize, as well as how each format can be handled by Color. This article relates to users of Color version 1.0.2 or later. We’ll look at how to handle video formats captured via capture card, as well as how to work with “native” formats captured via FireWire such as DV, DVCPRO 50, DVCPRO HD and HDV.
