Frame Grabs From 6-20-09

I spent the better part of Friday upgrading my camera boom for use with my Canon HF-S100 + Fisheye adapter lens. This camera weighs almost 2 lbs so I needed to make the boom a bit stronger.

I had issues with the the support line I tie on getting in the shot so long story short, I had to turn the camera facing towards the rear of the glider more, instead of out the side, thus getting the boom in the frame.

I plan to test again tomorrow with the camera positioned with the boom out of the frame.

2 New Jag35 Videos on Vimeo

I spent the day yesterday with Jehu Garcia of jag35.com at Joshua Tree National Park. I've never been there before, beautiful place even though it is the desert. We met up with Philip Bloom (who was shooting with the new Panasonic GH1) and a couple of other video geeks. There were 5 of us, all with HD video camera filming everything.

Here is the video I put together (Click through to Vimeo for HD version):

New Short Video

Today I shot a bunch of video around the house to test out the Magic Bullet Looks color grading software. Magic Bullet is amazingly powerful and its super easy to use, even for color noobs like me. Here are my results (click through to Vimeo for HD) :
