21Mar Short film: Convention Girl

This short was shot in the hotel room at one of the conventions we traveled to last year. If you aren’t in the loop, we raise money for each of our feature length films by traveling from state to state selling copies of our previous films. After a long day of running a booth we […]

03Mar Rode Deadcat v.s. Micover Windscreen Video Review

Windscreens for your microphones are well worth the money, especially if you plan to shoot in outdoor conditions. Up for comparison today is the official Rode DeadCat windscreen and the unofficial Micover windscreen. The first is $40 while the second is around $20. As you listen to each audio track it’s pretty easy to hear […]

02Mar More info on the Canon 5d Mark III

If you’re still on the hunt for more pictures and info on the 5d mark III release, Kai from Digitalrev was one of the lucky one’s who attended the press event in Hong Kong. Digitalrev was able to film a short hands on video comparing the Mark II and Mark III. The ISO performance of the […]

18Oct Canon Announces the 1D X

When it comes to camera announcements and camera rumors I default to Canonrumors.com. I only have so many hours in the day and don’t spend much time on Canon’s press release page.  I found out about the 1D X release this morning from Canon Rumors, then hit up the Canon’s site to read the full press […]

05Sep The Dead Lantern Ghost Chili Challenge

The guys I work with over at Deadlantern like to get together now and again for some poker and drinking. There has been talk over the past few months of trying a Ghost Chili Challenge. I didn’t make it down for the event but thankfully Mat managed to capture everything on video. Watch as this Ghost […]

09Jun Stuck in Poland.

Good news, I’ve finally made it to a place with good quality internet. Bad news is it’s the airport in Warsaw Poland. The Islands of Greece are very nice, but internet there is light gold, hard to find and even harder to extract. The nice thing about the Poland airport is that the internet is […]

15Apr Configuring your DSLR Rig.

When you’re configuring a camera rig, it’s a good idea to think about how you film. Are you going to be locked down on a tripod most of the time? Do you need a field monitor? What kind of audio gear will you be working with? Do you need to be mobile? I figured it might […]

26Mar Two more days on the road.

These lovely ladies stopped by the booth to pick up a copy of Outpost Doom on DVD, as did a ton of other great people. I would like to thank everyone for coming out and buying just about everything we have. You’ve all been great! Tomorrow I get to start the 16 hour drive home. […]
