Mastering the Sony PMW-F3 training DVD

Very interesting..!

Dean Harrington · April 19th, 2011, 12:46 AM

the vortex training video for the EX3 was very helpful in getting started on that camera ... highly recommended.

Aaron Newsome · April 19th, 2011, 07:42 AM

I can say with certainty, I'll be buying one.

Chuck Fishbein · April 20th, 2011, 05:19 PM

Doug's other products are good, but I think he's really nailed it with the F3 guide.

I'm happy to announce that Vortex Media's 4-hour "Mastering the Sony PMW-F3 Camcorder" training DVD is now in-stock and has started shipping.

Ordered and looking forward to it.

Just ordered it too. I know many of the basics (as demonstated in the sample WB chapter), but it's always good to refresh, and it's good to get tips and advice from a source such as Doug. Looking forward to getting it.

Thank you all for the business. It is appreciated, and I look foward to hearing your feedback.

Placed my order yesterday. Can't wait to get my DVD. It's my first from Vortex.

Chuck Fishbein · May 3rd, 2011, 01:38 PM

Just watched the first two discs. Excellent work, Doug!
Worthwhile viewing for all F3 owners, new and experienced.

Michael Palmer · May 3rd, 2011, 07:10 PM

Hey Doug will you follow up with the S-Log/ Dual Link upgrade DVD?

Thanks
Michael Palmer

Doug Jensen · May 4th, 2011, 05:01 AM

Good question.
Right now I do intend on doing something later this summer, but there are several factors that may change my mind. We''l have to see how it plays out. Thanks for asking.

Michael Palmer · May 4th, 2011, 08:48 PM

Thanks Doug, I received my DVD today and enjoyed it, I learned a lot today, it was really good information and a great presentation. I would have preferred to have learned more about the feature settings in the Picture Profile section and less on the EX FCP workflow as most of us know the tapeless workflow already.
Great work by Vortex Media.

Hi MIchael,

Thanks for the feedback, it is very helpful.
Even at four hours long, it is always a challenge choosing what topics to cover, and how much time to spend on each topic for a camera that appeals to such a wide range of users. For every person who says they wanted more about A and less about B, there's going to be someone else who says he wanted more info about B and didn't care about A. It's a fine line to walk sometimes. Anyway, I'm not making excuses, just explaining why things are they way they are. Your feedback does help me gauge whether I got it right or not. Thanks!

Doug,
Just got the disks and went straight to the Lens section. Terrific work. You really laid it out for many of us who are in the middle of deciding what the F3 can be lensed with. Im hoping the 11-18 sony vari zoom will be available soon, meantime I ordered the Nikon 17-35 2.8 as a stand in as well as the Tonika 11-16 2.8.
In a few weeks I'll sell my Zeiss ZF kit (21,28,50,85,100) along with the above lens and go with a set of the Zeiss CP.2's and the Sony 11-18. I'll keep my Nikon 80-200 2.8 and the MTS adapter. Great Zoom.
Any interested parties please e mail me off list. xdhd@mac.com
