Canon EOS C300 = Awesome by Jonathan Yi // In early Fall 2011, I shot some footage with a pre-production model of the Canon EOS C300 for one week in NYC. I created an article and a video for Canon based on my experiences with the camera. The video is meant to poke fun at most camera test videos I’ve seen over the years. Canon, not thrilled with my sense of humor, does not credit or condone this video, but I think it shows a lot of the camera’s strengths. You can read my full article about the EOS C300 here: learn.usa.canon.com/resources/articles/2011/c300_for_cinematographers.shtml I believe that Canon made a beautiful camera that is sensible, reliable and portable in a way that I’ve always dreamed a camera could be. It prioritizes great skin tone and has higher ISO sensitivity than any other camera out there. I know there’s nothing I can say to change the minds of the RED fan club. For the rest of the skeptics, I think once you get your hands on it you’ll understand how great this camera really is. Please buy this camera in January and go film some good skin tones in the dark. You’ll love it. Thanks go out to all my friends for helping me with this.

The Redneck Hippie by Philip Bloom // Short doco on Pierce. A Texan native who loves his guns! Shot on the RED Epic and Phantom Flex. Am far from a gun fan but fascinated by people who see things differently to me, hence my choice of this subject…Pierce was a smashing bloke even though he said “I talked funny….” I had a number of issues with the audio (that I hope to get fixed) which are documented on my blog post as were all the tech aspects of the shoot… Read more on my blog here: http://bit.ly/tkEGpz Music by Drew Barefoot from www.withetiquette.com

Earth | Time Lapse View from Space, Fly Over | NASA, ISS by Michael König // Time lapse sequences of photographs taken by Ron Garan, Satoshi Furukawa and the crew of expeditions 28 & 29 onboard the International Space Station from August to October, 2011, who to my knowledge shot these pictures at an altitude of around 350 km. All credit goes to them. I intend to upload a FullHD-version presently. HD, refurbished, smoothed, retimed, denoised, deflickered, cut, etc. All in all I tried to keep the looks of the material as original as possible, avoided adjusting the colors and the like, since in my opinion the original footage itself already has an almost surreal and aestethical visual nature.
