Finally got my hands on this puppy!

Here is a short random video just showing off the wideness of this lens.  It’s magnificent.

Hopefully you’ll be seeing many short films to come with this lens….

“The Last 3 Minutes” from Shane Hurlbut

May 5th, 2010 Post Comment ( 0 )

This is an amazing short film I found while searching Vimeo.

Take a few minutes and watch it, I don’t think you’ll regret it.  As I watched this so many emotions came about.  This story covers the seemingly mundane life of a janitor, William Turner.  At first glance you’d think he was just a normal boring janitor, but as the film unfolds interesting events unfold.

Shot on the famous 5D MkII at 30 fps then converted to 24 fps.

DIY Camera Dolly System

April 30th, 2010 Post Comment ( 0 )

Today I did something I’ve wanted to do forever.

I did my first DIY (Do it yourself) project!  The outcome?  A professional-style camera dolly track!

After watching many videos of other people that have done such things, I decided I’d try it out for myself.  My wife and I went to Lowe’s and gathered all the materials we’d need for the project.

Materials

  • 3 – PVC Pipes (5′ long)
  • 4 – “T” Joint PVC Pipes
  • 2 – “L” shaped metal pieces
  • 4 – sliding door packages (each package includes 2 bearing wheels)

This totaled around $50.

After we left Lowe’s we took them to my parent’s help, and my dad helped me assemble everything together.  He also helped with welding the metal pieces together.  The process and results to follow!

Otherwise, enjoy.
