Here’s a short piece we shot in London in October of 2012. It was shot using only the Canon 24-70 zoom with a Formatt Hi-Tech Fader ND. The original camera format was ProRes HQ Log and we graded in Scratch.

We shot this piece in New Orleans using the new Blackmagic Digital Cinema Camera with only available light and 19mm/2.8, 50mm/1.4 Leica -R Primes with Canon mounts. We shot straight to ProRes HQ because we wanted to see how it would hold up under a “run and gun” scenario.

The piece was edited via AMA in Avid MC6 and graded in Scratch. As you can see the footage held up very nicely especially in the Blacks. Overall our first impressions of the camera are stellar. Very easy to use and creates a very nice image.

We had an amazing pre light today for the new Danko Jones video we are shooting on Monday. So far it’s looking stellar and we are pumped to jump in with both feet.

We were excited to get our hands on the new camera from Blackmagic Design and wasted no time in putting it to the test. We are in New Orleans for the NOVAC: Cinema for a New Age Panel and thought it would be an amazing place to see what this new camera can do.

We used to the Wooden Camera Camera Cage (BMC) and accessories along with the Switronix V-mount/BMC Plate.

We rolled into town around 630p, had some dinner and then hit the streets to see what we could capture on our first night in town. Below are some low res ungraded screen captures from our available light night shoot. We shot in ProRes 422 HQ Log with a 19mm 2.8 and 50mm 1.4 Leica-R cine-modded with Leitax Canon mounts. We are shooting some RAW DNG daylight today and will be posting a graded edit along with some RAW DNG and Pro Res files soon. You can click on the pictures to get the full 1080 versions as well as save them. Remember that these are low res. We will be posting Hi Res stills when we get back from the road.

Josh will be speaking on a panel about Digital Cinema at Tulane University this Thursday, September 6th along with American Cinematographer writer Iain Stasukevich and DP Jendra Jarnegin.

We’ve gotten over 9 million hits now on the Sesame Street music video parody of Carly Rae Jeppsen’s “Call me Maybe” starring Cookie Monster that we directed. Here’s some articles hot off the presses:
