Stereo 3D Video Production with GoPro

Jeff Foster | 01/29- 02:15 AM

Using the GoPro HD Hero2 and the 3D Hero System with CineForm Software

Whether you love it or hate it, 3D Stereography is here for awhile. And if you’re totally into it like I am, you quickly realize that there are few turnkey workflows out there to capture and process 3D Stereo video that’s easy to setup, shoot and edit Stereo pairs. Sure, there are a lot of high-end (expensive to rent) systems for two cameras to shoot, software to sync/mux the footage and rigs you can build to edit it, but GoPro has brought it together with a fun and easy-to-use system that anyone can use.

Quick Look: Sony F65 4K Digital Cine Camera

Adam Wilt | 01/28- 06:05 PM

BandPro’s Jeff Cree shows off the F65 at Videofax in San Francisco.

Last week, San Francisco rental house extraordinaire Videofax took delivery of Sony F65 #15, and on Thursday BandPro’s Jeff Cree came up to show off the camera to local DPs, ACs, and DITs. I was able to shoot some photos and take some notes, which I have pulled together and annotated, in a somewhat scattershot manner, for your viewing pleasure.  [Update 2012.01.29: typo & terminology fixes]

Basic Lighting Setups for Green Screen

Jeff Foster | 01/23- 11:05 PM

from the “Green Screen Workshop: The Setup” series

There’s more to lighting your green screen than just sticking some green fabric up on a wall behind your talent and hoping for the best! Planning ahead and choosing the right setup for the shot you’re hoping to get is a key factor in determining what kind of lighting setup you’re going to require. Will it be in a studio? On-location? Indoors or outdoors? Full-length with walk-ons or just a talking head? Will your actors be making contact with the screen? These are all questions covered in this video lesson from my Green Screen Workshop series - this is a FREE video lesson, so enjoy!

Review: Panasonic AG-AC160 and AG-HPX250 1/3” 3-MOS camcorders

Adam Wilt | 01/22- 10:05 PM

Panasonic delivers full-res, full-function, feature-rich 3-chippers.

While all the attention is focused on large-single-sensor cine-style camcorders, Panasonic has come out with a line of high-quality 1/3” 3-MOS handhelds that leave little to be desired. The HPX250 is a handheld version of the shoulder-mount HPX370, while the AC160 and its simplified sibling, the AC130, bring the same fundamentals to the AVCCAM (AVCHD) world. [Update 2012.01.30: SDI out is 10-bit only on 250, not 160.]

Book Review: “The DSLR Filmmaker’s Handbook: Real-World Production Techniques”

Jeff Foster | 01/22- 02:09 PM

By Barry Andersson and Janie L. Geyen

There’s little more popular these days than being a budding Indie filmmaker slinging a 5D MkII over your shoulder and firing off hours of footage that you can then spend months editing to make your masterpiece come alive! The biggest problem is that MOST folks entering this endeavor are totally clueless about the process or where to even start - thus making every mistake in the book in the process. The DSLR Filmmaker’s Handbook: Real World Production Techniques (Sybex ISBN 978-0-470-87660-2) aims to help you get started with not only the basics of using the gear, but also the film-making production process in a visual overview - PLUS some very cool tips & tricks.
