Nice work Daniel. I thought I recognized Victoria in there. Are you working over there? Or are you onto the mainland too? I liked the music video a lot. Girl with the strings. Who was the artists?

Style vs Budget In the low budget world everyone is usually looking for the cheap solution to very specific tools. How can I replicate a stedicam with nothing, make a cheap crane shot, build my own car mount etc? One of the things that’s often overlooked is the way you shoot a project and...

I like to think of this dilemma as the difference between a short story in a magazine and a novel. What does it take to tell the story you need to tell? Never sell yourself short but don't overshoot the mark either. The other thing you need to do is if you are directing this then think...

These are the format systems listed on IMDB Pro for the film. Mann has a history of multiple formats. Arriflex 235, Cooke S4 Lenses / Arriflex 435, Cooke S4 Lenses / Sony CineAlta F23, Zeiss DigiPrime and Fujinon Lenses / Sony HDC-F950, Zeiss DigiPrime and Fujinon Lenses / Sony PMW-EX1

For that kind of coin why not take a leap and look at the Canon 5D Mark II. 21.1 mp chip. That's 2k HD at 30fps. 12 minutes full HD on a 4gb card. Sure there are handicam features that you're going to lack but I would suggest you'll make up for them with a bit of ingenuity. There are also...

Maybe soon Plastic. I'll let you know. g.

Yeah if this was going anywhere in the US it would be on pay channels for sure. We even have a 75 year old asian granny smoking a bong here.:D Not for prime time consumption.

Hey Zen I do remember you commenting on it. It was here for a day before getting yanked (rightly so) hehe Poke ;) . Glad you guys like it. Plastic, as far as getting it on in the US it may be some time before the American market looks seriously at anything Canadian. I think it must be our...

Good work garmon. I'm with Zen there re: the cutting. Of course that also requires a bit more coverage but good on you for doing it. Don't be afraid to get in really close for fight work. Even in the wider format feel you've gone for, ECU's are still a good idea. I would also suggest you...

So I'm back and ready to post the trailer to the soon to be released Robson Arms. It's currently only available in Canada on CTV starting in June. The show is 13x1/2 hours. the clips are taken from all of the shows. Hope you enjoy it. I suppose I should rate this a PG. I'm not sure of the...

Whoops, i didn't scroll down far enough. Ahh this interweb thingy!

As of today, this is only a front page. The links with the important info are busted. Perhaps the website is new. Or, it's a clever advertising ruse. :)

Cool unit there John.

I want to start by saying that I don’t take offence to anything anyone is saying here. I suppose that my motives for attaching myself to TV could be confused as something I've chosen for the sake of getting paid (profit is, as stated a different term in this example) But my motivation is, and...
