RED Scarlet....Finally!!! On Nov. 3rd


Well, it looks like Canon won't be the only company making a big camera announcement on November 3rd. RED CEO Jim Jannard has now confirmed that it will also be officially announcing its "new" RED Scarlet camera on the very same day (no coincidence, it seems), at which point it will detail "all the changes" the company has made to it. Unfortunately, that's about all the company is saying right now, although Jannard promises that "when we announce the changes, we will be ready to ship."

The Sony A77 / THE GAME CHANGER?


The A77 sports a new 24.3MP Exmor APS-C sized sensor, the world's first OLED electronic viewfinder in a DSLR, and a 3-inch 921,600-dot LCD monitor that flips down and swivels -- mounted on an armature that lets it extend away from the body and rise up, so that you can face it forward for self-portraits. Oh, and it also includes all the whiz-bang features that Sony has been building into all of its cameras lately, such as Auto HDR, which combines three shots of different exposures to expand the dynamic range of the resulting image; Handheld Twilight, which combines six low-light shots in order to reduce noise; and Sweep Panorama, which stitches together slivers of many exposures for a super-wide panorama.

The price for all of this? Body only, the A77 sells for $1,400. That's about $200 less than Canon's EOS 7D and Nikon's D300s.

Philip Bloom is an Inspiration

I have followed the career of Phillip Bloom for a few years now and he has continued to be an inspiration...not only to me but to thousands of of other "would be film makers". What is amazing about Philip is that he not only is one of the best in the biz today, but also has a real gift for sharing his love and knowledge of the technology regarding the great art of Film making! One of his latest short films is about a place close to my home (both....geographically and to my heart). It takes place in my beautiful home state of Michigan. For my friends living on the other side of the world.......if you look at a map of my state, you will immediately see that the Great Lakes surrounding it.....is an attribute that no other state in the USA has. This is just PLAIN and SIMPLE "Great Film Making". Please take a few minutes and view this amazing piece of work.
