    Have not worked on much Music videos lately.

    But the last couple of weeks I got to work for one of my childhood icons. One of my first LP´s I ever bought as a kid was a David Bowie album. Little did I know back then that 30 years later I would be doing the VFX / post on one of his videos. Directed by Johan Renck and shot by Darren...

    Autodesk Flame Unleashed.

    http://www.fxguide.com/featured/flame-unchained/ Flame on OS X for 500USD a month. I´ve been curious to what Autodesk would do. Selling flame licenses for 200k USD did not really seem like a good approach any more. I can only say that Flame 2016 runs in circles around everything else out...

Sebastian is a well known Swedish commercial director, curious to see what this heads of to. http://www.ascene.tv/ "How powerful can one scene be and can it represent the talent of a director? Director Sebastian Reed has created an innovative...

    Bigger than Alexa XL

    For some reson this reminds me of way back when I first read the spec for redone and saw some pictures form it. Weapon 8k is cool don't take me wrong. But in some ways this indy camera box is cooler :) https://vimeo.com/136554487 http://www.richardgaleoptics.uk/forbes70-large-format/

    Got some artifacts probem low framerate stills, is this normal for dragon?

    We are shooting some phone company product films every other months and we want to shot stills with the same lights as we do for motion. And I try to push as much out of the dragon sensor as possible for those stills but I run into a problem I seen before. Basically it´s long exposure and really...

    Last production on dragon serial#01257

    I flew down to Lanzarote to meet up with Director Marcus Lundqvist and DoP Pär M Ekberg for this music video. I have not been involved in music videos for I don't know how many years. So it felt like a bit of a revival and we had a lot of fun, and a lot of struggle a almost freezing swimming...

    PL WIFI FF... Just got it, strongly recomend it.

    This is really cool, I thought it would not be half as cool as it actually was. To me this beats most FF systems. I know its built for iris but works just as well for focus and having a slider instead of a nob is actually quite handy. The zoom in function on the scale actually makes it super...

    Some betting Commercials Shot on 2 dragons.

    I had the pleasure to bring two dragons down to Vilnius for this shoot. We had one scene with a breaking ceiling that was a one take that was quite spectacular and that we needed from multiple angles and we also shoot inside a carwash with people getting wet and such. Must say it's really nice...

    Please RED make a XL / volt battery plate.

    Some thing like this for DSLR batteries. So I can use the same batteries to 3rd party monitors, lights etc. http://www.ebay.com/itm/V-mount-V-lock-D-Tap-BP-Battery-Adapter-Adaptor-Mount-Plate-fr-Sony-DSLR-Rig-B-/180913942918 Edit: or make two one low cost one, and one that can take the AC...
