If you don’t get turntablists, this will help. Kid Koala scratching a trumpet improv over a jazz back track. Changing the speed of the LP changes the pitch. Very expressive and awesome.

Philip Bloom’s review of the new Canon 5D Mark III.

I see a constant flow of new gear streaming past me. Hacked gear - using things for a purpose for which they were not intended - is all a matter of tradeoffs. Each new bit of kit seems to do what Magic Lantern and a 600D does - but for more money and new tradeoffs.

The Mark III seems qualitatively different.

Nevertheless, I don’t like the idea of shooting without Magic Lantern. I’ve come to rely on a waveform monitor, and focus assist, and being able to zoom in on the image to focus while recording, and normal video white balancing, and Cinemascope crop marks in camera, and so on.

I recently had the pleasure of working with the filmmaker James Miller, who created this gorgeous music video for Lily Juniper.

This video makes me feel a bit anxious about mangling - err, editing the footage we shot together for National Deaf Children’s Society. I hope I don’t ‘uglify’ it somehow ;-)

Inspirational speech by Charlie Chaplin from the The Great Dictator, illustrated by library images from the present, with music by Hans Zimmer from the soundtrack for Inception, given weightiness by the Occupy movement. Great stuff, despite not really having an ending.

It appears on closer inspection, that this is some sort of meme that I don’t quite understand. So many versions and variations, so many duplicates:

Proof that the most important thing in photography is the quality of light. (I guess that’s why they called it PHOTOgraphy.)

Magic Lantern firmware for Canon HDSLR cameras has a new feature: High Dynamic Range imaging in motion. Since HDR always involves multiple exposures, it’s of limited value for shooting moving subjects. This will change when cameras can shoot 50 frames per second at 1080p. Most currently only record this fast at 720p.
