The Many Lenses of Panasonic's GH2 and GH3
Phil Rhodes of RedShark News writes up the Panasonic GH2 and GH3's lens changing capabilities. He writes, "One of the things that's most interesting about Panasonic's GH series of stills cameras is their usability with lenses intended for 2/3” television cameras. This is an attractive idea to those of us who'd like to get access to the low cost of DSLR moviemaking, but would prefer to avoid the shallow depth of field and questionable handheld ergonomics of large-sensor cameras when shooting documentaries. Of course, there are considerations of sensor size and mechanical mounting to worry about, but that's one of the things the GH line solves for us." Read the full story here.

Stefan Muller on Shooting Short Film 'The Scent' on the Canon C100
Michael Murie of Filmmaker Magazine talks to Stefan Muller about his short film "The Scent," which he shot on the Canon C100. Says Muller about the production, "I am so happy with the C100 because of its form factor. I didn’t feel the need for a rig, it’s such a lightweight camera and for the few handheld shots in the film, I trusted the Image Stabilization of the lens and I’m glad that worked out. I only used the Canon EF-S 17-55 f2.8 IS lens, and a Manfrotto 055xprob tripod with the 501 head. I also used a Kessler Stealth Traveller slider and some Litepanel Croma kit lights." Read the full story here. Watch "The Scent" below.

How to Shoot Day to Night Time-lapses
Time-lapse expert Preston Kanak walks you through how to shoot day to night time-lapses. He writes, "As many people have proclaimed, day to night or night to day time-lapses are the ‘holy grail’ of time-lapse shooting. They tend to draw the attention of viewers because of their assumed complexity. At the same time, what people don’t understand is that they aren’t as tough to achieve as they appear. In this blog post, I will quickly walk you through a few different ways of capturing these types of shots." Watch the tutorial video below and read more here on Kessler University.

Photographer and DP Tyler Stableford on Making the Transition from Stills to Video
Mat Gallagher of News Shooter talks to photographer turned cinematographer Tyler Stableford about his transition from stills to video. Says Stableford, "Last year (2012) maybe 60% of my income or more was through video. It was unexpected that it grew so rapidly in the course of a few short years. In 2010 I think I was self-funding video just to have a folio of work and now it’s happening so quickly. I directed my first national television campaign this fall, and I’m working on a great range of projects from small to big, it’s very exciting." Read the full story here.

How Google Created Earth Engine
Google Visiting Scientist Randy Sargent talks to Sean Gallagher of Ars Technica about Google's Earth Engine, which compiles years of satellite data to present the earth in new and interesting way (like Timelapse). Says Sargent, "We began to realize a few years back that Google Maps could be augmented to support all sorts of data. We had this idea that we could extend it to support multispectral (imagery) data. And given that we were getting feeds over time, we could store them as time-based sets, so you could go back and forth in time to look at changes. That idea became the Earth Engine project."

Watch the Trailer for Randy Halverson's Time-Lapse Feature, 'Horizons'
Watch the trailer for time-lapse maestro Randy Halverson's 31-minute "Horizons." Writes Phil Plait of Slate's Bad Astronomy, "In this one, given the name, I kept half an eye on the horizon itself, and became mesmerized by the motion I was seeing; stars, aurorae, tall grass in the breeze, and clouds. Especially the clouds; I’ve seen the full-length movie and the clouds steal the show, especially the storm clouds. Convection cells take on an added might and menace when seen in time-lapse, punching upwards convectively like a fist into the sky, lightning dancing underneath. It’s astonishing." Read more here.

A Review of the Zacuto C-Shooter
DP Erik Naso reviews the Zacuto C-Shooter rig, writing, "The Canon Cinema EOS cameras are the most ergonomic camera I have used. So why use a rig for them? Well for a couple of reasons. If your trying to shoot ENG style then holding a camera with no rig can get fatiguing really fast. Try interviewing someone for over five minutes holding the C100 up without a rig. Three minutes in your going to see more jitter because it’s hard to hold up the camera with just your arms for extended periods. That’s the hardest thing to do. Not moving the camera, because you never know when the best sound bite is coming, and bam!

Raw vs. Log
Alister Chapman of XDCAM-User.com explains the difference between raw and log. He writes, "Having just finished 3 workshops at Cinegear and a full day F5/F55 workshop at AbelCine one thing became apparent. There is a lot of confusion over raw and log recording. I overheard many people talking about shooting raw using S-log2 or people simply interchanging raw and log as though they are the same thing. Raw and Log are completely different things!"
