I’m in the process of researching 35mm adapters for a RED One camera we’re purchasing shortly, and so far I have the two main players:
(Why use 35mm adapters with digital video cameras?)
British filmmaker Philip Bloom has several videos posted that use the Letus 35 adapter with a Sony EX1 XDCAM HD camera. Watch his video “South Bank” for a great time lapse tour of the city!

Watch this reel produced and featuring production company Shilo. Almost surreal, their work–especially their “about us” reel with stills posted here–shows a deeper, emotional connection with their content. The cinematography and editing encourage this jaw-dropping work.
If you have a Netflix account, then you know what it’s all about. If you don’t, please reconsider subscribing if you love movies, or just easy to access video content. However, not even every Netflix subscriber may be taking full advantage of their accounts.
Netflix ‘Watch Instantly’ works best when you have a large flat panel monitor, or have your computer connected to your TV/entertainment system. Like Hulu.com, but without commercials and more studios/networks backing the content. Top videos include: Heroes, 30 Rock, The Office, Ratatouille, Superbad, Spiderman, Illusionist, etc. And now, an additional 8.21% of the market–Mac users–can enjoy their favorite entertainment content too. Check it out!
Here is the movie Reverie, by Vincent Laforet, the Pulitzer prize winning photographer. It was created with the Canon EOS 5D Mark II, which many of you know by now as Canon’s latest digital SLR camera. The crazy part of this project is that the footage looks much better than most other cameras in the semi-pro price range, and this isn’t even a video camera! The sharpness, focus, and color are all excellent (especially since this is the RAW footage, it hasn’t even been through DI yet).
Learn more about Vincent Laforet and see his photographs by reading this interview by Canon. Be sure to read more about the Canon EOS 5D Mark II digital camera here at DP Review. I’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot more of this camera and its footage in the very near future.
Seeing the results of Vincent Laforet’s film shot with a pre-production model of the Canon EOS 5D Mark II gets me very excited about the unpredictability and inventiveness of our industry. We must be near the verge of quality-inducing breakdown of the basic (and proper) video creation process. Watch the stunning Digital SLR footage here yourselves:

UPDATE: Changed the link to Reverie. It’s now hosted through SmugMug.
Here is one of my latest projects–a viral video. Much of it is shot with a Canon EOS 30D using stop-motion animation, mixed with live action. It’s always fascinating to see how a video performs virally…check it out below.
