...Winding down from NABShooting ENG-style with a DSLR? Mostly harmless.
Here we are a week after NAB, and I find that I shot 177 stills and 27 minutes of video over two days on a Canon 5D MkII (it may not sound like a lot, but I grew up on pricey film, and I’m not one of those mash-the-button-down-and-hope-for-the-best photogs. Last year, I shot 237 stills over five days—and no video). Would I do it again? more »

NAB 2010: Final ThoughtsAnother NAB has come and gone. What did the passing waves leave behind on the beach?
I only had two days at NAB this year, but I still came away with the strong impression of three major trends; call them the 3Ds… more »

NAB Pix: 3D RigsVarious alternatives for getting two cameras pointed in the almost the same direction.
NAB showed that there are quite a few different ways to shoot stereo 3D. A lot of the buzz was about the Panasonic AG-3DA1 camcorder shown here, and rightly so: few other rigs come close to having anything like the usability of a standard, single-lens camcorder. more »NAB Video - 3D RigsLooking at beamsplitter rigs, and GV’s amusing display.

NAB Pix: Camera SupportSliders to move your camera; remotes to control them.
An ultrasonic rangefinder with focusing-distance readout for $500? Read on… more »NAB Pix: RecordersSolid-state and rotating-disk video recorders at NAB.
I’ve mentioned the OB-1 before, but this was the first chance I had to really play with it. It’s typical of S.two’s attention to detail that the state of the OB-1—E-E passthrough, playback, or recording—is immediately apparent from the color of the backlighting used on the OB-1’s LCD display. more »NAB Pix: DSLR StuffLoupes, lenses, and lights, oh my!
If one theme of NAB was 3D, the other was video-capable DSLRs. The danged things were everywhere; I saw more people shooting video with DSLRs (myself included) than with anything else. There was plenty of new DSLR gear to look at, too: the usual suspects (Zacuto, Cinevate, Redrock Micro) has lots of mounting kits, rod systems, and support accessories, and they were joined by the likes of Ikan. more »

NAB Pix: CamerasJust a few of the cameras shown at NAB 2010.
In between the DSLRs and the 3D rigs, there were a few “traditional” broadcast cameras (like the Ikegami V10 shown above), small-format camcorders, and digital cinema cameras to be seen. Here are some of them. more » |
