John Brawley has recently released new footage of the Blackmagic Cinema Camera. Footage looks very promising. Interestingly, it was shot on Apple ProRess (HQ) and not RAW, yet the dynamic range is still amazing.
Stay tuned for details. I preordered my camera several months ago and it should be delivered in a matter of days.
God, I'm such a tech nerd.

Blackmagic Design have announced the BMD Cinema Camera and it is just $2995. Well known Australian Cinematographer John Brawley had a very hands on dealings with the BMD Cinema Camera.

Briefly, this is why RAW matters:
The first image is a typical DSLR. The second is RAW footage. And the third is color graded.

Learn How to Light while browsing the Internet
Yeah. I know. The bold headed guy is scary. But don't miss the point. Virtual Studio Lighting has developed a pretty awesome application all within the browser. It works best on Chrome, but Firefox should work aslo.
It basically teaches you lighting in a very practical way. You can add various types of lightings and filters and it gives you instant feedback on how your subject will look. It's also somewhat addicting so now all your time isn't eaten up by Facebook.
Give it a try.

Rejoice! Canon 4K DSLR will be announced tomorrow!
According to EOSHD.com, Canon will be announcing their 4K DSLR tomorrow morning.
According to EOSHD.com, "Canon are due to issue a press release ahead of NAB. What my source says about the new cameras is pretty extraordinary even in light of what Sony are doing with the FS700.
Canon will release a C500 for $25,000.
This is designed to be an Epic killer.
It is 4K at 120fps with EOS RAW via 3G HD-SDI. Officially certified raw recording deck solutions are being provided by Blackmagic and AJA.
At 60 fps EOS RAW from the C500 is 12 bit. This drops to a still impressive 10 bit at 120p.
The C500 also pumps out 1080p, 2K and Quad HD.
And now for the 4K DSLR…
Costing $10k. This does ALL-I, IPB and MJPEG 4K.
Both the C500 and 4K EOS DSLR have log profiles.
Another feature is that it has a Super 35mm crop mode (like the D800 with DX crop mode) for compatibility with cinema lenses."

Lawyers do jury duty too!
That annoying part of civil society has once again reared its snail-paced head at me, requiring me to miss work to sit in a large room and wait.
It's not that I hate jury duty. It's just that as a lawyer, jury duty means I will never get picked to serve.
This is not my first civil rodeo. Like several times before, I'm going to sit, answer questions from other lawyers who I'm fairly confident I could beat in an arm wrestling contest, and then I'll be given the boot. Too scared that a lawyer might help the jury to understand what they're doing.
It's like going to a dance and being rejected by everyone there. Basically, I get to re-live all the rejection of high school all over again. Awesome.
So since I had a court appearance at the same court I'm doing my civil duty, I decided to wear my nicest suit. "Since no one wears suits for jury duty," I thought, "maybe I'll get kicked off quicker." It's not working. I'm still here. Sitting. Waiting.
So that's my Monday. Sitting on my ass, waiting for the rejection. High School all over again.
Happy Monday.
