This is ridiculous, and a sign of the times. MONSTERS, was shot with a EX1 and a letus adapter by the same guy who directed it. Phil Bloom once mocked me for using a 35mm adapter in the age of DSLR’s, well,… take this Phil ;)

here’s the featurette:

here’s the trailer:

I watch alot of wedding films online, and I mean alot! After a while I feel like I’m watching the same thing over and over again. Bride and Groom getting ready for the ceremony, exchange their vows, reception, bla bla bla. I feel bad saying it but I usually start watching wedding films on vimeo and skip through them to the end.

That said, I was blown away by a same day edit that wedding filmmaker Joe Simon put together. It has time-lapses, silhouettes, natural sounds mixed in, wipe transitions, a wonderful sound mix and a fast pace. On top of all that, he cut it right after the wedding and had it ready to show at their reception! That’s just insane to me, and the work is better than most that I’ve seen.

I’ve follow Freddie‘s work for a bit and I thought I’d post two of his action shorts and their tutorials. It’s some really simple stuff done very well. Freddie is great at making VFX meld with the story, and he does them very inexpensively.

I got into a car accident today. I was rear ended by an SUV as I was pulling onto the highway. I try to look on the bright side of things, so I got out my 7D and played around in magic bullet.

Mario sums up my day perfectly in 1 second…
