11Jan 4 TB of hard drive space for $189
You can pick up an oem 4TB hard drive for around $259, so why is it that you can buy a portable 4TB hard drive with usb 3 port for $189? It seems to me that at a price of $189 it would make sense to simply order a few of these drives for your nas and […]
07Jan Samsung 840 Solid State Drive $334
There seems to be an ebb and flow to SSD prices. For awhile prices were dropping and you could pick up 512GB ssd drives for as low as $285, but now the prices have spiked back up to around $400 for those same drives. Samsung’s 840 series SSDs are currently clocking in at around $334 […]
26Dec Managing your film project’s data needs
It’s never a very sexy topic, but data management for your film project is very important. In a single day of shooting with two cameras you can easily fill up 5 or more 32GB cards and that’s not even counting the behind the scenes shots and stills. If for some reason you have to get everything done in a […]
12Dec Free Time Lapse software that’s easy to use: GoPro Cineform Studio
I have a lot of good things to say about the GoPro Hero 3, but I’ll save them for the full review. What I want to point out here is that the free Cineform Studio app on Gopro’s site is an excellent, easy, full functioning, time lapse application. Simply click the “Import New Files” button on the left, […]
17Nov Gopro Hero 3 Black edition could be the best price steady cam on the market.
If you’ve kept track of the updates to Premiere Pro CS6 you might remember that the Warp Stabilizer feature used previously in after effects is now built into Premiere. The Warp Stabilizer basically works by moving the video footage around to compensate for steady motion. One of the problems with this is that if you shot […]
15Nov Rode VideoMic pro w/free copy of Plural Eyes 3
If you need a simple compact microphone, the Rode VideoMIC Pro is at the top of the list. It’s small, light weight, and it offers up to 20db of gain, which makes the output much more friendly to DSLR users then the original Rode VideoMic. Right now B&H is offering up a free copy of […]
08Nov Freenas problem Solved!
Finally solved my freenas speed issues. Even though the on board Ethernet card in the motherboard I ordered has a supported network chip-set, it turns out that it was the bottle neck for my system. Apparently these are often labeled as 100/1000Gb ports but many of them have trouble actually reaching those speeds. I was concerned with my read and write […]
31Oct FreeNas Speed test with new PCI-e 1Gb NIC
Finally had a chance to install the new PCI-e 1Gb Ethernet card and it seems to have dramatically improved read and write speeds to my desktop from the freenas build. Above is a read transfer from the NAS to a local hard drive. As you can see I’m averaging about 43 MB/s on this large file transfer. Considering […]
23Oct Freenas Build, also I’m back from a month of filming.
Just finished a month of traveling to Boston, Atlanta, Orlando, and Kansas City. I’m glad to be home and ready to take a brake from out of town work for a few weeks. Waiting for me when I got home was everything I ordered for the Freenas build. One change I made to the parts list while […]
