Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)
Want to see if anyone has a Dragon Epic in Florida for a shoot in Tampa /St Petersburg.
The dates are gonna fall between the 10th and the 18th, three days total. If you have full support thats great, and we may be looking to rent the whole thing, plus and operator/AC.
Email me. in my Signature.

I think this will get lost during NAB week, but i'm home in NYC, and i got to thinking during the only week where NYC is a production ghost town.
Shot a very long commerical, nearly 5 minutes. Was it an industrial? A corporate video? not sure... but it needed to look good and get done in 3 days come hell or high water.
Shot on Epic, w/ Mini S4's.

I shot half of this, the other half is shot by Zeus Morand (www.zeusmorand.com)
I tried to match Zeus' style. I operated the days he was DP.
Just curious to see if you guys can see a difference and pick out who was who...
For a long while now, i've used the Epic in a "Non traditional way" and in my opinion have been getting better results.
It all started about 2 years ago, Tom Wong and I designed a "Alexa" workflow, where we run the Epic in REDLogFilm, he would paint a LUT, then run that image to all the...
From a shoot today:
Epic to EF to Microscope eyepiece adapter. We also used the most insane lens EVER, the Canon MP-E 65mm "Holy #$%^ thats close" Macro lens.
More in depth than the last thread now that its all sunk in. though you guys may want to take a look. I found that the dragon really sneaks up on you with its awesome.

It was a while back, but it was still a hell of a lot of fun, and i even got to bust out an old dependable friend. :)
I just loaded mavericks on my Mac, am rendering out some footage for a client and all the footage looks like this:
Its the same exact pattern for each clip. Anyone else seeing this?
Went to see Gravity Tonight, and huge across the screen came presented in "Sony 4K" and internally, a little nerdy child went insane!
The first time i've seen a 4K projection in a real theatre. AMC on 84th street in NYC.
Gravity was insane... best movie in ages.
But it didnt seem super sharp...
$100 all in for all three. Great for Obox Owners cause it has a 138mm Circular stage in the bellows. Frees up your other two stages.
Excellent condition.
Selling because i inherited a set of 4x5.6's. Dont need two sets of ND.
