I’ve been in Las Vegas for over a week for REDucation (Red training) and to visit the NAB show. REDucation was excellent–even though I’ve been shooting on the camera for 2 years and know a lot, I still learned a lot. Once I’m back to Hong Kong, I’ll do some posts on what I learned [...]

Partners are falling down (going bankrupt), the economy is in the tank, many people are not taking delivery of the cameras they put down deposits on… generally very [...]

It’s now possible to post stunning high movies on YouTube. Check out this Red footage of Costa Del Sol: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ie-5CrgCYFY High def is a bit of a misnomer. The maximum size of high def videos on YouTube appears to me to be 855 x 480 pixels. Which is really just “slightly wider than standard def [...]
