Thought I’d give you all a sneak peak at NAB 2010 before I post my usual event coverage, which usually takes me a while to get done… This was more like a test, but I guess it turned out acceptable… and I promise I’ll have a proper mic, next time around… Hope you enjoy it! [...]
Last 18th of February Createasphere came to LA once again, this time in Universal City. The theme was Entertainment Technology and the vibe was sure saturated with HDSLR ; )~ The first happening was the Canon HDSLR breakfast meetup, where we would hear some interesting news, while feasting on hot coffee and donuts. This mixed [...]
It’s been a while I’ve been silent… Yes, I’ve been busy trying to finish my never ending film, but the excitement of the first 5D videos and the expectations of what would be new in cameras like the 7D and 1D has come to an end… so I’ve been a lot less inspired to write… [...]
It’s been an interesting week… I was about to hop on a plane back from Portugal when I saw Stu’s new blog post in my RSS feed. I can tell you I was pretty late when I got to the airport… The one 1D Mark IV could be the camera so many of us have [...]
Being in the middle of post production of a film which seems to be adding up to a 3 hour rough-cut, doesn’t leave me much time to enjoy my recently acquired 5D MKII. Now on a short break in Portugal, I’m catching up on lost time… Not long ago I wrote an article on the [...]
I’ve been patiently waiting to make a decision. The 7D turmoil of rumored specs had an important role in holding me back, until they were officially announced… It was both an exciting and anguishing day for me. I sat through a 2 day shower of information at the Collision Conference trying to make sense of [...]
6:45 on a Sunday morning and Image Mechanics used the same trick to get me out of bed… Of course I didn’t expect to win any raffle prizes, but with my luck I knew my number would be drawn if I wasn’t there… haven’t quite figured out how to beat this system, yet… It was [...]
Saturday 6:30am and the alarm goes off… snooze… it goes off again… Sh!$ I have to get up… the Collision Conference starts today and there’s a raffle drawing at 8:30… I get there on time, but of course, I don’t win anything… You have to agree, though, Image Mechanics found a pretty smart way to make [...]
It’s official! Canon Rumors reported the official date for a press release scheduled for the 1st of September to announce the rumored new SLRs. Expectations now split between the 7D and the 1D Mark IV, although some say that the 1D replacement should only come out in 2010, to complete Canon’s traditional 3 year life [...]
After yesterday’s disappointment of Canon’s non announcement, my mind revisits all the ifs, buts, facts and myths that go into the final decision of which camera I’m going to get. The sad truth is that there is no “one perfect” solution out there. Every time I think I’ve got my kit figured out, I find a [...]
Not long ago, I posted an article about sensor cleaning. It had a huge response and it’s still visited regularly today. It’s a problem that affects us all, sooner or later… and it isn’t going away anytime soon.!! As you may know, dust bunnies are not so hard to remove on stills, at least on [...]
Makes me feel old writing a title like that… but what is old in this ever evolving industry??? By the way, if you’re not feeling nostalgic and just want to know about CS5, just scroll down until you see the big 5… Those of us in non-linear editing should not forget, we’re riding a very [...]
NAB is absolutely monumental! If you never made it out there, you should! The sheer size is hard too describe… By noon of the first day, people are getting massages in the endless corridors that intertwine the megalomonous halls that host vendors by the hundreds, all together adding up this year to about 1500… but [...]

The world has always had a 3rd dimension! But why is everyone so interested in it, all of a sudden!? The answer is very simple… capitalism! Money! Profit! The studios’ profit, to be precise! Since our cave man times, we’ve been trying to graphically represent what our eyes see. Attempts to reproduce depth go as [...]
