Blue Silence Rebreather from gogo on Vimeo.

Just an excuse to look at a wreck and some manta rays. The rebreather system they are using is by Poseidon.

Sony Professional: NAB 2013 - New Camera systems for Live Sports from Sony Professional Europe on Vimeo.

With technological advancements and 4k cameras you can reduce the number of camera operators. Instead of having one central camera for the wide shot and several more to follow the action today’s technology allows for you to frame an HD signal in two 4k images. As a result rather than panning a camera physically you can pan a software camera instead. It means that one less person needs to be outdoors exposed to the weather. At the same time for conference coverage this is an interesting idea. The second interesting aspect is the sending of three signals from the venue via IP over a distance of 300km. Instead of sending an OB van to the venue you can vision mix from the studio remotely and send back the program. This broadens the market for live vision mixing. With a smaller budget you can provide some of the same services as would have been provided by an OB van, sat truck and multi person crew. It is broadening rather than undercutting the market.

Sony Professional: NAB 2013 - Introducing the new PMW-400 camcorder from Sony Professional Europe on Vimeo.

Two minutes in to this video there is a demonstration of the wireless options available with the PMW range of cameras. While filming you have remote monitoring. You can also send the data to your servers for editing.

Speed Riding Mont Blanc from Didier Lafond on Vimeo.

Speed flying is a combination of parapente and skiing. You take off from the top with the parapente and ski part of the way and fly for the rest of the way. This is an extreme sport but it provides some great images. This is a sport I edited footage from a number of times and it captures the imagination.

An interesting look back in to the past. I remember seeing this conflict on television. I know people who covered the story and I’ve heard about how a colleague gave one person a gameboy when he left Sarajevo. That person called and asked about the individual and that’s how I knew of a personal story. One or two segments in this video show the tape to tape editing process. I learned how to edit this way but by the time I worked as an editor everything had moved to non linear editing systems. I’m sure this will bring back memories for a few people.

Biting Elbows - ‘Bad Motherfucker’ (Insane Office Escape 2) from Ilya Naishuller on Vimeo.

A fun first person film that stands out from the rest.

EVERYDAY from Gustav Johansson on Vimeo.

What would you do if you had an eight day week rather than seven. An over the phone dialogue with moments in the day of these two people.

This is a fun water experiment.

I quite like the period images from the beginning. The story begins in 1936 with steam trains and a moleskine notebook. We have a link to the 1936 Munich olympics before being brought in to the present.
