Digital Bolex Update
Well a while ago we covered the introduction of the Digital Bolex. The team went away and did a lot of thinking and implementation. Now the camera still keeps the ethos of the original Bolex but has many new ideas and features. See the blog post here. There are 100 changes, many it seems are [...]
GoPro 3 Black Edition Camera
I have not used the GoPro but it seems it is going from strength to strength and certainly assuming that the shots have not been through any image stabilisation then they look pretty impressive. See the video below. The shots in the video are of course stunning especially exciting are the mountain bikes screaming along [...]
Sony NEX-EA50EH Large chip on your shoulder!

New MacBook Pro, well connected.
My recent visit to the Apple site was much more interesting. Still no sign of the new Mac Pro, strangely though there was a NEW icon over the MacPro which was confusing, this has now gone! I presume that the NEW icon was there due to the higher end processor speed increase. But the new [...]
Prepping for a 4K world – Michael Cioni
What a great guy and a great speaker. Off-line editing on FCP and conforming on Premiere Pro is so where I am going… He echoes my thoughts so much regarding usage of the software as tools, edit packages are no longer things you nail your colours to but tools to make programmes with. We [...]
