Schneider Optics Sings the BluesSchneider’s new 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8 CTB filters have “RED” and “Phantom” written all over them
All silicon sensors are daylight native, although most cameras hide this fact so well it’s never an issue. Not so with cameras like the RED and Phantom HD, which may need a little help under tungsten light. more »

Return of IRThree manufacturers are striving to create the perfect filter, and we’re going to help them
I’m ramping up for an IR/Hot Mirror filter shootout, where I hope to test IR cut filters of various types from three different manufacturers: Schneider Optics, Tiffen and Formatt. If all goes well, and all the filters arrive in time, I’m hoping to shoot tests on Friday at Chater Camera on the Sony F35, Sony EX1, Sony EX3 and RED cameras. more »

The Sony F35 and ND FiltersThought your ND filters were really neutral? Guess again—this camera can SEE the differences
While testing the Sony F35 recently at Chater Camera I performed my usual IR test and stacked a bunch of ND filters in the matte box while shooting a sunny day exterior. The image turned bright magenta/red, and it wasn’t IR contamination because we were able to white balance the color cast away. more »The Not-So-Technical Guide to the Sony F35It’s not so hard, once you know all the secrets…
The RED ONE is cheap and good; the Sony F35 is expensive and utterly amazing. more »

Advertisement My First Shoot with the Sony F35In which a series of tests becomes the fastest spec spot shoot in history
About a week and a half ago I received an email from Leigh Blicher, partner at Videofax in San Francisco. “Just wanted to let you know our F35 has arrived.” My response read something like this: “Ooo! Oh! Oh oh oh! Ooooo oh oh OH! Oh! OHHHHH! Can I come over and PLAY?” more »

Lighting Simply for the REDTwo PARs, a couple of bounce cards and some grid cloth make this spot shine
A while back I posted a Quicktime movie of this project, shot for the California “No on Prop 8” campaign. At the time I promised that lighting diagrams would be along shortly. I lied. I just got around to this today. more » The RED Camera and Green ScreenWhat you need to know before you learn the hard way
After working in this business a while (this year was 21 for me) I find that I don’t worry about venturing into the unknown. And three weeks ago green screen with the RED was certainly an unknown for me. more »

Final Cut Pro X Multicam Editing webinar now available on-demand
Plus a little screencast in this blog post on a topic we didn’t get to cover.
I had great fun last week presenting the Final Cut Pro X multicam editing webinar for Moviola Filmmaking Webinars. It was a lightning fast 90 minutes and we covered a lot of ground but we didn’t get through everything I wanted to cover. The On-Demand version can be purchased and I recorded an extra screencast about one topic that I didn’t get to cover in the webinar. Check it out after the jump.
CAMERAS: Food Fights with the FS700
You want 240fps 1920x1080? I’ve got your high-speed HD right here… for less than $10K.
When Adam Wilt and I shot “Fire and Ice” together on a prototype FS700 we had no idea that it would be shown at NAB… and that it would be hit. We wanted to do more, so we pitched Sony a commercial concept for a local company that involved high speed “veggie baseball.” Guess what: they sent us an FS700 again. Edible baseball never looked so good.
