First Look Snap Focus Follow Focus At EVS.

Cameras

I think I had a few hundred followers at best and they were not targeting...Read More

Cine Gear 2012. It’s All About Lighting.

Cameras

This year we felt that cameras have been covered and lighting has been lacking. So we decided to focus primarly on some of the new lights introduced at Cine Gear 2012. There were a few notable plasma lights from Hive Lighting and Photon Beard. They are very similar systems. The new Kobold Para lights from Bron Imaginig look killer! They have gained dramatically in popularity recently.They have a very nice feel and throw. I...Read More
