Rule Camera has mentioned to me on Twitter that PL mount and the EF mount will be available very soon. I am curious what the cost will be to rent the body. I am assuming that it will be around the same as the F3, which they charge $320 or so for the body. This may be a good solution for a new project, hint, hint… though the Scarlet may end up costing the same to rent. We’ll see!

Fellow TEDxDirigo Organizer and Senior TED Fellow Alexander Petroff’s website is now live! He asked me to do the site after this past year’s TEDxDirigo event, and I was honored to do so. This is a great mission, and an amazing model! VIEW SITE HERE

Just finished the new branding for Orthopedic Specialists. Next up is new cards, brochures, etc.

I attended the Philip Bloom large sensor camera workshop yesterday. It was a great chance to meet Philip, and play around with some cool cameras. They had the Pany AF-100, Sony F3, a smaller Sony, Arri Alexa, 2 Epics, 5Dmkii, and a Phantom Flex. What a great experience to get my hands on the Epic’s and the Phantom. All the menues in the Epic are pretty intuitive, and even the Phantom isn’t that difficult. What’s even better is that I won the $250 Rule gift certificate, so I pretty much broke even on the trip! Now what production should I come up with to spend that on… hmmmm.

WATCH THEM NOW!
