LIGHTING: Advanced Cucoloris Use Illustrated by a Solar Eclipse
Art Adams | 05/24- 11:24 AM
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…
You want 240fps 1920x1080? I’ve got your high-speed HD right here… for less than $10K.
When Adam Wilt and I shot “Fire and Ice” together on a prototype FS700 we had no idea that it would be shown at NAB… and that it would be hit. We wanted to do more, so we pitched Sony a commercial concept for a local company that involved high speed “veggie baseball.” Guess what: they sent us an FS700 again. Edible baseball never looked so good.
A few cool things I saw at the show that didn’t fit into any other articles.
I got this fisheye lens, y’see, and by gosh and by golly I’m a-gonna use it.
NAB is too big a show in too short a time to see more than a fraction of it. I’ve covered a few things in some depth (as have other PVC folks), but there’s plenty more that slips by without proper coverage. Here, I have a few photos of interesting things that I saw in passing, with pointers for more info should anything catch your fancy.
When I walked past these the first time, I thought they might be antennas left on the Moon to shoot signals back to earth. But a little research proved to me that these are great lighting devices. NOTE: a big “Thanks!” to my colleague Erik Higgs for letting me edit on his laptop while I was in Vegas.
Here is the first of a series of videos on products in the “back corners” of the NAB 2012 exibition floor. Hope you enjoy them! In this video, Plasticase takes on an un-named giant.
Studio Daily posted the review last week after pounding the thing on a number of edits
Last week Studio Daily published my Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 review. It’s a longie but a goodie as I tried to go into detail about what I really like and what I kinda don’t like about this brand new Premiere Pro. I had been pounding it hard on several projects before writing the review. I have had a few questions about exactly what kind of jobs I’ve been working on with it.
