Recently, we got to sit down with Patrick Moreau from StillMotion and Michael Gebben from Gebbs Wedding Films. We first met Patrick at Re:Frame Austin back in April 2009 where he played a huge part in our decision to buy a 5d. We’re eternally grateful! Patrick has always been at the top of his game. It’s quite evident by watching the films he produce that he has a complete understanding and appreciation for his craft. Every time...

We knew something was coming soon and I must say I’m pretty excited to see the articulating screen from the Canon 60D! The 60D will be replacing the 50D and will have an 18MP APS-C CMOS Sensor and will be able to shoot HD Video at 1920 x 1080 at frame rates of 30, 24, and 25 frames per second, for up to 4GB per clip. You can also shoot HD at 1280 x 720 (50/60 fps) or SD/VGA at 640 x 480 (50/60 fps). Its set to come out in September...

Since we started shooting with the Canon 5d and 7d we’ve had our share of accessories. Some we’ve loved, some we’ve hated, and some we’ve grown out of. In the coming weeks we will be doing a comparison of all the sliders we’ve owned but for now, let’s talk about our newest one… Recently we got the Kessler Crane Pocket Dolly and have absolutely loved it. Like most of our filmmaking accessories,...

Recently we met up with Philip Bloom in Palm Springs, CA. It was hot and I mean the kind of hot that makes you want to stay inside all day. Luckily for us we were staying at a hotel that had three pools. Now Jon and I were ready to shoot in Palm Springs… We brought our 5d, 7d, and a variety of lenses but we also had our brand new GoPro and Sony TX5 which shoot underwater video and photos. Along with Phil’s GoPros and two...

I was shooting some video with my Canon 7D when what to my wondering eyes should appear? No it wasn’t a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer. On the upper right hand side of the screen I spotted a red dot. The dreaded hot pixel !! Not surprising, that this happens occasionally, considering that there are 18 million pixels in the 7D. I of course panicked, as I will be on the road for the next 20 days and, have some very important...

After a week in Florence with the 5d and GoPro, I’m home. I finished editing all the timelapses I shot and thought I’d share. My favorite timelapse out of all of them is the last won. Here’s a list of accessories I used that I’ll never travel without again: Fat Gecko Dual Suction Camera Mount Ultra Clamp Singh-Ray Vari-ND Sony TX5 Lessons Learned: 1. After waking up at 5am to do a timelapse of the sunrise and it...
