We had a good third meeting of the Hong Kong Red User Group last night. About 20 people came. I presented how I one-light colour graded my Mysterium-X test shoot short, “Memorium” (see below). And we watched off my AppleTV selections from the final episode of this season of “House”, shot on a Canon 5D [...]

Shot last month, “The Sellout”, directed by Shern Sharma. Poubelle International is a Hong Kong based power pop band with a lot of good energy. We shot 3K (3027×1728 pixels) at Varispeed 50 frames per second (and the band sung the song at double-speed). The whole music video is a single shot. Cool. We shot [...]

OK. So I broke down and bought an iPad 7 April at The Forum Apple Store in Las Vegas. Wasn’t intending to. But I looked at the reel on YouTube in high def from my company Kanda River Productions on it and was blown away–by the definition, portability and prospect of handing clips around to [...]

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 [...]
