The era of the remoted hard drive is coming at us--I'm designing a running/video sled at the moment with an eye to incorporating hard drives on the base. I should be clear--I'm not having components...

It's only from that desperation of wanting to avoid cables coming off the rig (bad enough with full-size, but as you know virtually a deal-breaker with a lightweight rig). I was recently...

Why not mount the Firestore on the base of the GC in lieu of the weights? Velcro it to the underside so you can mount it centrally (make sure to use a safety so it can't fall off).

I don't feel any difference in the look of the pans on the A1 vs the DVX100, personally. As pointed out you have to observe certain rules about pan speed just the same as with 24 fps film, this...

There are many interpretations of the color of moonlight, depending on the type of project--a stylized one may use a deeper blue. It's a bit "old school" (i.e. '80's) to go super saturated blue. Half...

I'd recommend one single and two doubles. Given the approximation of a single equally half a stop, this will give you the ability to cut your light in 1/2 stop increments up to 2 1/2 stops. I don't...

It's a very clever setup actually. For 30 years the Steadicam systems have involved a plate that screws into the bottom of the camera, which is then mounted onto the stabilizer via a...

With a heavier camera than the HV20, you would notice a substantial difference in terms of overall payload with the GC over the Merlin. But with a light camera, the nuances of balance and accuracy of...

Panavision gear cannot be bought, only rented. It's valued at over $250K in any event.

The opening scene (with Dr. Phil etc.) from "Scary Movie" was shot on 35mm, the rest on the Genesis.

Bjorn:

The HV10 is going to be a little funky on the Merlin due to its vertical shape coupled with its light weight. It can work but it probably won't fly quite as well as, say, an HV20.
