My Adventure in Indie VFX + a Review of Cinema 4D R13I spent a few weeks finding out just how easy it is to do complex stuff using Cinema 4D R13 and After Effects.
Maxon released it’s latest version of the Cinema 4D (C4D) late in 2011. The R13 Studio version is their flagship product and it’s loaded with a ton of new stuff. C4D has been a popular platform for Motion Graphics artists for a while now, probably due to it’s ease-of-use, plug-and-play capabilities. Motion Graphics folks could install the app in the morning and by the end of the day be knocking out elements for use in their existing After Effects-centric workflows. C4D was really the non-3D artists 3D program and that’s why I was so inspired to go ahead and give it a spin for a few weeks. more »

The Indie Economics of SLOG and the Sony PMW-F3. Is it worth it?Shooting SLOG/444 on the PMW-F3 puts the per day cost within spitting distance of an Alexa or Epic rental, what’s an indie filmmaker to do?

I want to be a part of the species that just wants to viscerally respond to a beautiful, spirit-moving image of light, shadow and color. I want to be thrilled by beauty, not sourly deconstructing the failings of this week’s latest offering from the constellation of video camera vendors. more »

LIGHTING: Advanced Cucoloris Use Illustrated by a Solar Eclipse
Q: What happens when you stack several pattern-making devices in front of a light? A: Extreme lighting goodness. Learn why here…
I love stacking cucolorii (plural of “cucoloris”) and I thought it was time to write an article about how this technique works and why I like it so much. I was a bit stretched for ideas that would illustrate this concept… and then an eclipse happened. Why that made a difference is a very interesting story…
