4K > 1080P?

Matt Jeppsen | 01/30

Why you probably don’t need a 4K TV in your living room

image

There’s a nice, ranty article over at CNET entitled “Why 4K TVs are stupid” that talks about 4K TV’s in the home, and the coming marketing push from TV manufacturers. In the article, they summarize the mathematical reasons why our limited human eyes can’t resolve the 4096x2160 resolution offered by 4K TVs, in average home viewing conditions. It got me looking for more info on this topic…

Working Pros Discuss the Canon C300

Matt Jeppsen | 01/16

Rodney Charters, Drew Gardner and Lan Bui discuss the Canon C300

image

What happens when you get three working professionals together late at night with the Canon C300 camera and liquor? They shoot camera tests. And that’s exactly what happened when Rodney Charters, Drew Gardner and Lan Bui got together on New Years Eve. To test the C300’s 20,000 ISO capability, they shot a quick low-light test using an iPad for the key light. They also spent quite a bit of time discussing the camera in general; one theme they spent some time on is the effect low-light performance is having on film lighting…

Lytro is the new RAW?

Matt Jeppsen | 01/12

Light Field Camera for Stills, Video and 3D Applications

image

If you aren’t familiar with Lytro, they are an innovative company that is very close to releasing a Light-Field Camera. This affordable consumer stills camera has the unique ability to calculate the angle of light hitting the sensor, and store that data along with the image data. Later, in post, you can refocus the image however you wish. It’s amazing technology, and there’s literally nothing like it in the consumer market. After watching an interview with Lytro’s CEO, it really got me thinking about the future possibilities of this technology as a creative tool for professionals…

So You Want to Buy a RED Scarlet?

Matt Jeppsen | 01/01

Do you really need that new camera? An intervention.

image

I got a question on Twitter recently regarding the pros and cons of purchasing a Red Scarlet camera. After responding, I decided to expand my replies into this blog post in hopes that someone else may find it useful. Some of this stuff seems elementary, and I apologize if that’s the case for you. But I do think that there are many out there who will benefit from this discussion about new camera purchasing in general.
