Executive summary - tools are transitioning from the custom/proprietary to the commercially rentable/purchaseable - but expertise and precision is still required to do it right! I spent the day learning about the latest in 3D hardware and software for acquisition and post - read on for all the geeky details. more »Sony Introduces SR 2.0 Initiative in LAwent to the Sony event, saw solid state, upgradeable cameras, transcoding hardware

In case you missed it, Red announced some pretty detailed specs about the new Red Epic-X camera on Friday, October 30th. Details about it are here. This is a quicky, off the cuff list comparing the specifications of the existing Red One to the proposed, but still unshipped, Epic-X 35 camera (same thing as the Epic S35, just slightly goosed). Covers things like form factor, frame rates, resolution, codecs, accessories, etc. If I get something wrong or omit, please say so in the comments and I’ll amend ASAP. If wrong is by accident not avarice....(continues after the jump) more »

Red Update - revised specs for Epic-X cameraThis is the “with luv” upgrade camera for existing Red One owners
Red made a slew of new announcements on Friday (Oct 30), and I’m going to be picking through it all. The most significant and detailed new announcement had to do with the specifications for the Epic/Epic-X camera, the closest successor that Red has to the Red One. They made announcements about details nearly a year ago on December 3, 2008, and I covered it extensively here) Article continues after the jump - pictured above is one of the millions of possible configurations of the Epic & Epic-X camera... more »Advertisement FantasticFest Panels: on set VFX supervision for 3DJabbar Raisani from Robert Rodriguez’s Troublemaker Studios talks about on set tools
More raw notes from the 3D/Stereoscopic panel at FantasticFest - this one makes a nice bookend with Emmy award winning Sean Fairburn’s comments about working on set - Sean talked about shooting concerns, Jabbar talks about VFX supervising on set - both in general, and things to worry about when shooting 3D (as in stereoscopic). Below are my raw notes, and here’s a link to pictures of Jabbar’s slides on Flickr. Jabbar talks about what information to record on set for visual effects, tools to collect that info on set, and how to communicate effectively both on set and in post. Some really good info in here after the jump! more »FantasticFest Panels: Sean Fairburn on shooting 3DTips from a pro on shooting & posting Stereoscopic/3D content
Continuing my notes from the Future of 3D Panels at FantasticFest, Sean Fairburn (familiar if you read the Cinematographer’s Mailing List) gave an excellent talk on the basics of, and advice on, shooting stereoscopic aka 3D moviemaking. My full, raw, unedited, as-I-typed’em notes are below. EDIT - here’s pics of his slides on a Flickr set more »FantasticFest Panel: The Future of 3DIndustry experts & pundits prognosticate on the uptake of stereoscopic imaging in the marketplace
From 9am to 3pm no movies today, just intense geekery - all panels about 3D and stereoscopic imaging for moviemaking - speakers from Intel, RealD (one of the sponsors), NVidia, Troublemaker Studios (Robert Rodriguez’s studio here in Austin), and others spoke today. I’m breaking it up by panel, posting my raw notes from each. Here’s the kickoff panel, on The Future of 3D: more »FantasticFest Day 1 - First Squad, Gentlemen Broncos, Rec 2, The Highball3 movies and a killer new place to hang out in Austin
FantasticFest Day 1: First Squad, Gentlemen Broncos, Rec 2, The Highball The first day of FantasticFest 2009 went exceedingly well - saw 3 movies and went to the opening of a, well, fantastic new venue in Austin, TX. Saw three movies: First Squad, Gentlemen Broncos (latest from director of Napoleon Dynamite), and Rec 2, as well as went to the opening of The Highball, a new bowl/bar/karaoke venue. If I overheard correctly, they’ve basically rescused and resurrected the entire interior of the Rock ‘n Roll Bowl from New Orleans after it shut down - lifting it and dropping it right next to the Alamo Drafthouse and rechristening it The Highball in all its retro 60s glory.
Read on for the deets! (That image above is in the gorgeous Paramount Theater on Congress Avenue in Austin, TX)
