jealous.  that’s some setup.

loving the h4n and the rails setup underneath.  that’s some hot video capture gear.

really great to see people using lighter setups in southby southwest this year for recording.  you can get some great video on the canon 5d/7d with a sweet 50mm/35mm (remember full frame sensor) for that depth of field action going on.  the kit that is out there for getting decent audio into the camera is truly staggering and apart from the initial investment in the camera body for something like the 5d or 7d (and it comes down to the glass you buy after) the effects are truly fantastic of getting a duel purpose awesome camera and HD video in one camera.

i’m on a mission to own a 5d/7d over the coming year.  i think it’s the only way to really do the ark, jackets and fibrecamp justice.  now if i could just work out how i’m gonna add that to the list of things to get.  you can often stop your creative process because you do not have the tools to do a perfect job to get the acknoledgement you think you need. 

personally i think an iterative approach to media making so people can see you talent, skill and consistency is just as important as the end result.  that’s why i like telling stories with social media so much – it has the power to give people the back story to what it is you do and why you are so passionate about doing it.  if your working with designers and creatives that do not want to tell you the story then is it simply that your a cash cow to their business?

for me, working in the digital realms now is about making solid working digital relationships passed the sale of services, we have moved into a new era i believe of hyper connected relationships based on resources, discussion and open ended sharing of lessons learnt in this realm – where the good, bad and fugly have value.  success is not just a printed glossy booklet.

whoa, tangent.  music does that to me.

still want that 5d.
