SD, 408p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p… 2k, 4k, UDTV… it seems like the big push is to get ever-higher resolution. It’s true that given two pictures, identical in every other way, that the higher-res image will look better—if you’re close enough to see the difference. But it turns out that resolution isn’t as important as you might think.

Cine Gear Expo on the blazing-hot Universal backlot

Day 2 of Cine Gear Expo dawned sunny and hot—our in-car temperature display registered 102 degrees Fahrenheit by 1:30pm. Despite the heat, there were plenty of things worth seeing.

Cine Gear Expo on the Universal back lot.

We came down to LA for Cine Gear Expo, a two-day showcase of all manner of production things: grip gear, lighting, camera accessories, and so on.

It is quite literally the hottest equipment show around…

Update:  Well, no new Mac offerings outside Me.com (which looks to be pretty cool), and of course the 3G iPhone.  Where’s the iChat?  Where’s the MacBook Pro love?  Where’s the “One more thing”?

For a creative business the iPhone is almost a must-buy.  3G, video, enterprise and more.  Heck you can demo your demo reel on your phone!  But where’s the Mac love Steve?

Yesterday’s post:

I have absolutely no evidence, but boy was I and a large part of the MBP community disappointed in early spring when we didn’t get a new fresh MacBook Pro design.  I’m personally betting we’ll see a new design, with keyboard and touch similar to the MB Air.

Beyond iPhone, anyone have any other thoughts?

About a week ago, Tim Blackmore and I learned that we were providing tech support for Rob Nilsson’s upcoming film, “Maelstrom”, a Direct Action workshop film with four actors. We knew it was going to be shot with an EX1 (which we have), handheld (EX1, handheld? hmmm), with the wide-angle adapter if at all possible. Cool, sounds like fun, what’s the schedule?
