    Dealing with Insurance Claim?

    Hello! Hopefully, someone can help here! December 2013, I made a claim to my insurance agency (the middleman - they found the insurance quote, booked it, and pass off claims to the broker) regarding footage I permanently lost and had to reshoot. January 2014, I hear back from the broker...

    Atmos vs Blackmagic HDMI > SDI converter?

    Hello! I was wondering what everyone's experiences might be with the Atmos Connect H2S2 converter vs. the Blackmagic Mini Converter HDMI to SDI 4K? I'm looking at both, and they seem like great options either route (especially given they're the same price). Anyone find ease with using one...

    I just had an unfortunate experience with Aspen Insurance Agency, and in hindsight, it was due to oversight on my part. I lost about 6 days of footage shot over three months on my laptop, and had no luck with recovery. Footage had long-since been formatted on my SSDs, so no luck with REDundead...

    I'm currently putting together a new reel. I love shooting music videos, concerts, and narratives, but those don't seem to make quite as much income as the corporate videos and local commercials. I'd like to appeal to both realms (the hyper-creative and the fairly creative) as I really enjoy...

    Has anyone else had just terrible trouble loading/playing videos recently on Vimeo? I have a 50mbps connection, and the videos seem to stutter, load in fragments, and and overall look worse than what's been linked to Youtube lately. This happens both with loading from a web page and directly...
