It was time to move to a more reliable hosting solution and we found one with hostpapa.ca.

They provide Green web hosting which means their servers are powered by solar and wind energy(there prices and customer service are awesome too).

Pretty cool huh?All part of our commitment to stay green.

We’re not partnered with them so this is an endorsement that we’re making simply because we like their style.

Also, our friends over at PulledinPR helped make the transition smooth. We like smooth.

There are a few frames left if you want to join the other producers from around the world! We’re still the first crowdfunded feature film to hit the net and we’ve also raised the most money. Impressive? I’d like to think so. Become a producer here.

Cheers

You gotta check out episode 4. After that, you’ll have no doubt that this 64 yr old Action star is one tough Mutha#$%.

If you’re following the DSLR revolution that’s going on, you might already know about a lot of the new gear out there designed for this type of shooting. But it was awesome to actually put hands on some of it and see it up close. Much better than sifting through blogs and product sites for information.

Highlights for me included seeing the iKan HD Monitors, GoPro Hero Cameras, the new motion control rigs from Varizoom, and a very affordable support rig called the SUMO II from the folks at Shape WLB.

I also stopped by the Canon Booth which had all their Kick Ass cameras and lenses there to play with.

I’m looking forward to using some of this gear on future projects!

Cheers

Not only do he and his crew do some cool little flicks, but he’ll show you the quick and easy way to get the same results.

Check this one out, after you can see how some of the effects were done.

If not, well let me fill you in.

Companies like Canon and Nikon (and some would argue Sony) make high end digital stills cameras for photojournalists and wedding/event photographers. These things are awesome. 15-22 mega pixels and you can mount a ton of lenses to them.

Well a year or so back, the good folks at Canon thought it would be neat to add an HD video feature to their 5D Mark II . Not to replace their line of video camera, but just as an extra feature for their customers.

It turns out the video quality is AWESOME!!! Here is a test shot at Skywalker Ranch by filmmaker/director and DSLR master, Philip Bloom . He got to blow it up on George’s 40ft screen and all were impressed!

Now at the end of the day this remains a stills camera that shoots video. Of course their are limitations and you have to adapt your technique to suit the camera’s abilities, and not expect it to simply conform to what you expect of traditional film/digital movie cameras.

But with such a compact package, the ability to shoot in low light, a whole whack of lenses, and a price tag that allows you to buy a package as opposed to renting, this camera (along with the 7D and 1D) is proving to be an great tool for independent film makers.

If we choose to shoot the film with one of these cameras, we’ll be sure to bring you all the details on our experience.

Corey Vidal hooked me up with a ticket to the show and I got to tell you, it is amazing. It took the Filmmakers 3 years to make and the captured over 600 hours of footage in the process.

I’m not one for spoilers so I’ll just tell you to go out and see it, any way you can. Even if you’re not a fan of the films (looser) you will still find this immensely enjoyable.
