    No stings attached.

    Or not any more atleast :) I did the post on this one, Shot in Cape Town, dont remember the name of the DP possibly someone here can fill me in. All on Dragon DMC1 at 75FPS 360 shutter as it was difficult to know if the clips needed to be speeded or not. But in the end I think all shots where...

    [FS: GEAR] Milo motion control

    Selling my milo. Had it for 15 years and it has served us well. But to much other stuff going on so this bit of gear has not been in much use the last couple of years. Its in good working order and ready to use. Serviced by mark roberts before summer and not used since then. So if you want to...

    Did a Robot thing with our ROKOKO.

    Not so much red camera related. But used Monstro as a reference camera for the pixel part of the tracking on this one. ROKOKO is just on their first iteration of mocap suits but no doubt they are out there to disrupt that part of the industry. Love their approach on both hardware and software...

    Wake surf - Monstro and Dog Shildt Flare factory.

    Brought Monstro to my friends Bartchelor party. So no pro wake surfers in this film. Instead we got some slightly over weight, over aged film and computer dudes tumbling around behind the boat for the first time. :) Weather was super and normally this time of year around Stockholm you dont even...

    Monstro, Kowas, Mavic and oranges.

    A little project we did together with Director Anders Hallberg, shot in his garden down in Mallorca during easter. We used the PS rehoused kowas, Not so impressed by the lenses they where both poorly aligned most of them an way more soft compared to other kowas and anas I used before. Dont know...

    Skip every second lens and get monstro instead...

    I just did this little chart to explain to a DP friend of mine why we could do without the in between lenses when using monstro. Sure going 8k all the time is great but for a lot of stuff it´s not really needed and if you are happy with monstro 6k ( I would say most should be, there is simply no...

    STEADXP on RED.

    https://vimeo.com/255270817 Just got one of these little. Bought it used from a friend. Possibly the coolest 100 Bucks I ever spent on camera gear. Not sure how it comes if you buy one new but I needed to get a sound cable, microSD card, smallrig horseshoe mount and a Gopro battery as the...

    "HASSEL" - 7k2UHD Cop gone bad web series.

    Here is something we worked on during 2017. Shot on 3 Heliums for over 100 something showing days shooting. Lead DP Crille Forsberg decided to go with his rehoused Cooke pancros and then some recoated to match Angie zooms and heliums set to 7k´s not to get dark corners on the wide ends. It...

    IMAX 2x monstro test.

    As the title says. I did a little test, have not seen it on the max screen yet but looks promising. Basically shooting two monstro´s on top of each other where the top camera is upside done and slightly uptilted both with the same lens in this case a 35mm FD. Stitching together the two plates...

    UDF format / loading luts issue.

    When putting a lut folder on a non FAT32 mag and trying to load it, the camera wipes the folder of the card and there is nothing to load. Works with FAT32 formatting. On monstro 7.01 firmware.

    Happy New Year!

    I think 2018 will be a splendid year. It will be the year of the MONSTRO, the year when we shoot 3200ISO tungsten and still need to add film grain to get that "filmic look". For me 2017 was a fantastic year in more ways than one, I actually have not had such good year. Still it feels just like...

    Helium and Dragon in the snow - Cow skiing.

    A project we shot last winter during a week in Zermatt. It was a bit nuts, as I went down there on a reece trip a week in advance and then the slopes where literary green gras fields. So it felt more than a bit difficult to figure out how it could all be done. The client was talking about...

    What large 4k computer screen does 50hz

    Trying to find new screens for our 3D dudes. Until now they been working on large / 32" Cinema displays. But those are getting quite old and I kind of hate them as they run with that little power box and as we have them quite far from the machine room they need DVI2 extenders that cost quite a...

    No real snow was harmed when making this movie.

    Think this was our last project. Something we did last fall, long before the snow came. Its a film from a strange series of commercials with this 3D Character "Robert" that has been around for 20 years that is promoting internet and cable Tv from boxer. In this case we had a little challenge...

    My helium does not beep any more.

    Normally set my camera to do the beep on record and money sound on stop record... But since a few shoots back the camera is silent no matter how I set the indicator in the record menu? Any clues, my helium has lost its voice?
