planetMitch note: an interesting tip about how to make sure you can get accurate color in your video.

Tony Anastasi's comment, April 6, 2012 1:22 AM
Err.. Isn't this how everyone shoots already? I come from a stills background and been using the color charts like I always do from my stills workflow.. I also take a stills shot first as it gives me the reference points in higher detail then the video feed..

My First ‘Real’ Shoot with the Nikon D4: The Tavistock Pro Golf Tournament | Scott Kelby's Photoshop Insider | HDSLR | Scoop.it

OK, well…technically it was my second. I did a car detail shoot (based on Tim Wallace’s online class) right before I left for Photoshop World, and I posted those shots over on Google+ (here’s the link), but since it was just me in my garage (well, and Brad)…it didn’t feel very “official.”....

The end result of this madness is that, while shooting in the studio, photos can be immediately reviewed on the ipad, projected on the wall, uploaded to flickr and entered into my lightroom library, all by just pressing the shutter on my camera.

Reikan Focal Posts Update on Canon EOS 5D Mark III

Reikan Focal Posts Update on Canon EOS 5D Mark III | HDSLR | Scoop.it

Especially interesting to me was this paragraph:

"The AF consistency on the 5D Mark III is the *best* I have seen on any camera I've tested with (which is quite a few now!). And it's better by quite a long way - only a few % deviation across 20 shots compared to, say, the 1Dmk4 which deviates by 10-15%."

This episode really touches on a lot of different topics and as usual we go off on several tangents. We discuss videos going viral (or mostly not), selecting music for videos, hiring big name Hollywood talent, median versus average and what it means in the Bureau of Labor Statistics report Film and Video Editors and Camera Operators, and much more. We wrap up the show with two artist pick of the week and few product or info tips that we hope you will find useful
