This is the promo video we shot for the Classic Car Club. Lotsa run and gun (no permits – oops!) and waiting for the rain – yes, we wanted the rain!

We recently purchased the latest version of AVID for the MAC. We still use the latest version of FCP Studio but thought for longer form projects and AVIDs ability to work with embedded formats it might be worth a look.

And they are beautiful to behold! We’ll be testing them out on our 35mm adaptors in the coming weeks. Especially want to do side/side comparisons of our Nikons, Canons and Zeiss lenses. Stay tuned!

Here’s an interesting quote:

But these are not training wheels for your top of the line Cookes. When you get your ASC or BSC award, you are not obliged to trade these Panchros in for S4 lenses, much as Cooke owner Les Zellan would be delighted you do. The Panchros sacrifice nothing except a stop of light (T2.8 on Panchros vs T2.0 for Cooke S4). The resolution is expected to be as good as an S4 at T2.8. They are about 20% lighter and smaller. The new Panchro line is being designed with 4K (and beyond) digital and film production in mind. The aperture is linear. Focus mechanisms are still cams. Focus scales are generous. And Cooke /i Technology is included.

Ross is shooting with his friend Morgan Spurlock at Comic Con in San Diego next week. They are using the Sony EX-1 (i’ve heard from a producer at Digital Kitchen they can’t find any crew in the San Diego area to do their shoot because Spurlock has hired everybody!)

NEW: Matthews Red Dolly

Hey Film Weirdos, We have been playing with our Matthews RED dolly for the past few months, testing, trying, squeezing, abusing it in horrible ways. Think Frankenstein on steroids – and we’ve come up with a few configurations even Matthews didn’t think of (like: we don’t recommend you putting a jib on the RED dolly [read more...]

NEW: Cooke Primes

Hey Everyone, We just ordered a set of the new Cooke Panchro Primes! We should receive them end of August along with their custom case.
