So the latest rig I assembled is a D600 mounted to a JuicedLink pre amp, providing phantom power to a Shure SM58A Beta, which in turn feeds a very clean audio signal back to the camera.

In cinema, the protagonist (or villain) usually watches movies on old film projectors, with only the flickering of the machine as the soundtrack. Nothing that artsy for me, just watching my random video clips on the PS3 or phone. With cinegraphs joining animated gifs in the looping visual eye candy, it's not so bad losing the audio in most of my video files. It's not like on camera audio is any good anyway...

Tech Notes: Thanks to Van and Anister for helping, and of course Vy for playing. :0) These are some random video clips of me practicing with the DIY slider.

Notes: Just random clips thrown together, 5D mk II and D90, mostly handheld, and of course manual focus on everything. One could see the advantages of the little “HD” cameras out there with their extreme depth of focus (i.e. every unnecessary thing in focus), but I still like the messups and the old 16mm look. Song is […]

Notes: All the images are screengrabs (D90 Movies) from a few weeks ago at our local Korean coffee shop with ai Thavisouk…I’ve wanted to do this type of documentary work for awhile now, just gathering some like minded people and sitting them in front of the camera. Granted the environment wasn’t the most serene, but when a […]

From our trip to Laos. The preschool location was in Xieng Khouang Province, one of the most bombed areas in Laos, and one of the poorest. The region also has the sad honor of being first in bombie farming accidents. Lathsene village lacked running water and even electricity, but the schoolchildren and villagers treated us […]
