Re: Fish eye lens
I shoot with a Canon C100 (1.5 crop factor) and at some point I'd like to get a lens that can provide a slight fisheye look (really more of nice very wide angle look with a little distortion). I've...

Re: USB to TV how?
After doing more research (calling Roku customer support) it appears that the Roku 3 is the only one that will play MP4 files so I was incorrect about the Roku Streaming Stick having that ability. I...

Re: USB to TV how?
I did some research last night and it looks like the Roku Streaming Stick will allow you to copy the files directly onto it before sending it to the bride. This would require you to open the package...

Re: USB to TV how?
That's a great idea! Which model of the Roku do you include? Do you load the MP4 onto the Roku before shipping? Or do you give them the USB drive along with instructions on how to load it?

Re: Non-DSLR camera recommendations
Rebecca, some of the newer cameras in the $2,000 - $2,500 price range will give you just as good of an image as many $3,500 - $4,000 cameras while only lacking some of the higher end features like...

Re: Why did this wedding film go viral?
Ah that makes much more sense lol. In the Facebook post I saw there was no mention of that but I can see how that's not something you'll see in most wedding films :)

Re: Stage Events ... always interlaced?
I also find that it depends on what type of event you're shooting. For most ballet recitals, musicals, or other events where the subjects aren't moving exceptionally fast I prefer the look of...

Re: Stage Events ... always interlaced?
I've found that 1080p30 and 720p60 on my HMC150s both work very well for dance recitals. I wouldn't shoot 24p as you'll probably get too much motion blur.
For one particular client, I began...

Phil, while it's a bit expensive, Ray Roman's "Creative Live" course is by far the best single resource that I've found. There are certainly other ways to learn wedding cinematography, but if you're...

If you're not looking for a large sensor camera (as in larger than 1") then you may want to look at the Sony X70 and the Canon XA20. Both of these cameras will have very good AF and built in...

Re: Non-DSLR camera recommendations
You may want to look at the Sony PXW-X70. This will have a very similar feel and feature set to the XH-A1 but the image quality should be quite a bit better. The X70 will be getting a 4K update at...

Re: A turning point in video/photo packages?
My C100 has a photo button but it only takes stills at 1080p which is like 2 megapixels, so it's pretty much useless as a still camera. I'm not sure about the C300 but I imagine it does the same...

I think that both Canon and Nikon seem to want their still cameras to be used primarily for still photography. I think that will be the case with the 5DS and 5DS R since they removed several video...

Re: Auto settings for stage shows
In situations like those on my Canon G20 I will turn the Auto Gain Control down to zero and that tends to keep the footage from being blown out. With my HMC150s I've had to turn the AGC down to zero...
