Canon C100 Autofocus Upgrade - Vote Now

Firstly, I should mention that Canon has finally replaced my nostalgic love for the Panasonic DVX/HVX series with the Cinema EOS series. I feel like with all the recent and frequent updates to the C100, it's going to be around for a while. Finally, a legacy camera that reviles the Panasonic DVX100-A cult following from 8 years ago. Who wants to buy a new camera every year anyway?

So as you may or may not have heard, Canon recently introduced another update to the C100 - Full blown auto focus. This is something that video cameras have simply never been able to get right in the past but after you watch this review from Philip Bloom, Canon is getting closer and closer.

So the real question is, at $500 a pop, who thinks this is a good investment for us? Vote with your comments.

Elegant texting workaround

I know that I have certainly had clients want to include emails or texts in their filmic stories. If you have ever heard something like "yeah just have this manager send out an email saying XYZ and show it!", then this is for you.

House of cards came up with a very classy way to do show this very boring yet very real mode of communication in an elegant fashion with simple graphic overlays. I'll certainly be adapting this method in the future.

I can relive my childhood for an afternoon to watch this.

An early industrial piece about Chicago

I found this strangely compelling. Who wants to count how many times the narrator says "Chicago!"?

A time-lapse of a SNL shoot in a studio. Pretty crazy to shoot from 1 AM to 5 AM for a show that airs the next night.

Delta Innovation

I think this idea Delta has is pretty damn awesome, and I think the animation in this piece is really nice.  It's really well designed, very clean and minimal, which works so well with Delta's branding.
