NAB RECAP:
NLE:
AVID WAS ALL ABOUT PROTOOLS .
..AND HAD A TINY LITTLE CORNER TO SHOWCASE DS/MC/SYMPHONY 6.1.1
.. AND IT’S LIMITED AMA CAPABILITIES AND LAME SOFTWARE BUGS.
SMOKE AND EDIUS WERE BEING PUSHED HARD AS THE NEXT BIG THING FOR EDITORS THAT ALSO WANT TO COLOR CORRECT AND COMPOSITE...
APPLE/FINAL CUT…WAS MISSING!!!!!
(WONDER WHY?..ANYONE???...CRICKETS)
CAMERAS:
RED RED RED RED RED RED..THAT’S ABOUT IT…OH, AND ..RED.
RED SHOWED A FILM CALLED “LOOM” WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SHOWN IN 4K 3D…BUT..UMMM…WELL…IT WAS SHOWN IN 2K/3D ..BLEEDING EDGE FOLKS..BLEEDING EDGE!
…THE FILM WAS MADE BY RIDLEY SCOTT’S KID AND SHOULD BE CALLED “GLOOM”.
OVER AT SONY AND CANON…MOSTLY CRICKETS
NO ONE REALLY CARED ABOUT THE F65.
THE $80K (SERIOUSLY, $80K WITH NO RECORDER!!!!)CANON CONCEPT CAMERA: THE C500 WAS SHOWCASED IN ANOTHER HORRIBLE DOOM AND GLOOM MOVIE CALLED “THE TICKET” SHOWN IN 4K.
APPARENTLY STORIES ABOUT DEAD TEENAGERS IN LOVE AND MUTANT/HUMAN ROMANCES LOOK BETTER IN 4K.
...I DUNNO...PASS.
AND AT ARRI..
IT WAS “LOOK WHAT’S BEEN SHOT ON ALEXA" TIME!
….NO BIG NEWS..JUST ALEXA, NOW MORE MODULAR.
PANASONIC SHOWED A NON FUNCTIONING CONCEPT CAMERA THAT LOOKED LIKE A RED...
(APPARENTLY PANASONIC'S FUTURE LOOKS A GOOD DEAL LIKE THE GHOST OF RED ONE'S PAST)
SOME 4K MONITORS/SCREENS….VERY NICE.
CAMERON-PACE WAS SHOWING IT’S “TITANIC CERTIFIED” 3D CAMERAS , RIGS FOR ALEXA AND RED …RENTAL ONLY..THE NEW PANAVISION?
BLACK MAGIC AND GO-PRO WERE DOING BIG BUSINESS WITH THEIR NITCH NEW CAMERAS, THE GO-PRO “HERO” AND “HERO 3D” FOR SPORTS WITH A GLITZY NEW SOFTWARE PACKAGE.
BLACK MAGIC’S NEW "$3K FOR 3K" CINEMA CAMERA DELIVERS ALL THE PROMISES OF THE ORIGINAL RED SCARLET BUZZ OF 3 YEARS AGO!
IT LOOKS LIKE A TOY AND COMES WITH A NIFTY TOUCH SCREEN AND DAVINCI/WAVEFORM SOFTWARE IN THE BARGAIN.
(YOU WANT ONE?...I DONT!!!)
ALL THE CHEAP NEW CAMERAS ARE USING BLACK MAGIC'S RAW CODEC....
SURPRISE..IT'S GIVEN FREE TO DEVELOPERS, BUT SO FAR A NIGHTMARE IN POST..AND I MEAN A NIGHTMARE!!!
THAT CINEMA CAMERA FROM BLACK MAGIC HAS A BUILT-IN BATTERY!!!!
AAARGH..BUILT-IN..WHAT GOOD IS THAT?????
WHEN I ASKED THE SALES REP, HE SAID “DUDE, AT 3K A CAMERA..BUY 4, THEY’RE CHEAP!!!!)
AATON, WHO HAD ONE OF LAST YEAR’S BIG WINNERS..
THE PENELOPE CAMERA WITH THE DALSA CHIP (REMEMBER DALSA???)
WERE MISSING IN ACTION..TOTALLY…NOT A WORD..NADA.
ZEISS HAD SOME BEAUTIFUL, NEW FAST (AND SUPER EXPENSIVE) CINE LENSES.
(WHICH, BTW, LOOK SOOOOO MORONIC ON LAST YEAR’S DSLRS!!!!)
AND SPEAKING OF DSLRS…NO ONE WAS.
NIKON SHOWCASED THEIR NEW DSLR WITH LITTLE REACTION.
……. NO ONE WAS WATCHING.
LITE PANELS HAD SOME NEW LED BASED FRESNELS
I SAW A COOL SLIDER OR TWO..SOME WITH MOTION CONTROL, THAT WORKED WELL..MATHEWS HAS A PROTOTYPE OF A SLIDER WITH COUNTER WEIGHTS THAT WAS TOTALLY COOL AND 11K……AWWW, JEEZ, SERIOUSLY?
MOST OF THE SALES REPS I CAME TO SEE HAD LEFT THEIR RESPECTIVE COMPANIES
…AND GONE TO THEIR FORMER COMPETITION!
THAT’S A WRAP..SEE YA NEXT YEAR!
