We teamed with writer/director Johnny Amiri to shoot some video for one of Las Vegas’ hottest bands, Saint Rose. Check our screen caps on Flickr and watch for a promo video with these guys in the next few months.
All these pictures were screen grabs from video taken with our Sony EX1′s. The venue where these images were captured had less than stellar lighting but in all, the content turned out fairly edgy. Enjoy!
Recently I had a friendly from Discovery.com reach out to me regarding my thoughts on a solid prosumer camera in the $3k-$5k range. I gave him a run down of what I like and use as well as some other options. Below is the email I sent back to him:
This does not have much to do with production but it has everything to do with sound. What is amazing is the stark contrast between regular helicopter rotors and the Eurocopter’s Blue Edge rotors. In brief, engineers have discovered how to silence helicopter blades. I’ll let the video and the article do the talking.
Now and then IMAGIKA is asked to be part of a project which uses green screens or chroma keying. NO, we didn’t work on any of the projects in the video below. The tech for this has been around since before Dave Letterman was a weather guy. There is definitely an art and a method in shooting with green screens but the results are fantastic. Most of the movie 300 was shot with green screens. Further more, you’d be shocked as to how much of what you see on TV and in films are shot using green screens. I ran across the video below in my feeds and thought I’d share. Enjoy!
