This thread's to share what you're most stoked about in the photo/film world. I know people are busy and have a lot of ideas that they want to pursue, and just haven't quite had the time yet to make it happen. Hopefully posting some things you want to film will help you to create some time to get it done.

To start things off--

- I just got back in touch with a friend that four wheels and is so sick at it. I already have a perfect song picked out and have been picturing the shots I'll get for the last day. Can't wait to start filming.

- Finally picked up a sandisk extreme pro 32gb 95mb/s SD card for my t2i and no longer have to worry about "filming has stopped automatically", makes me feel so much more confident when filming important things

- Just purchased a 3tb hard drive, so all my shits backed up!

share your giddyness

Pretty sweet establishing shots, but after that it becomes pretty repetitive. I would try throwing in some different shots that correlate with the scene you set in the beginning

Thanks for the feedback! I know it was kind of repetitive and if I was behind the camera I would have done it a bit differently with some slider shots and more but I was on the kneeboard and I put my friend who had never filmed before behind the camera. Considering he had never touched a DSLR let alone exposure, focusing, tripod work, audio and more I am very surprised with the results he came out with.

i liked the vibe and the shots you had. i think some b-roll in between the action would break it up nicely. overall pretty solid

Had to replace the shutter of my 1DX back in September (had 226k on it, meh). Then I got an Error 20 about 3 weeks ago and rushed the camera over to CPS. They replaced the shutter mechanism (again), the drive and mirror assemblies, and put in a new focus screen. All for free! Camera is as good as new know. Bring on the season.

I'm a CPS goldmember and it's awesome for the peace of mind. Free clean and checks, 2 day turn around on repairs and free overnight return shipping, and 20 or 30% discount on repairs if you ever have to get one.

Honestly if I stuck with canon this would have been the main reason.

A7II.

I think I may have just cut the size and weight of my touring/mountaineering camera kit in half which makes me very very happy. Gonna get out and actually shoot with it tomorrow morning, and then we'll really see.

doope, i'd say through one of these bracketed mounts on there.

I haven't had any experience with monitor/mic combos, but this looks like a pretty convenient and inexpensive option you could for sure check it out.

As far as my m&a stoke Im really hyped to have all my gear settled as far as an on-snow set-up and a buddy and I are currently beginning production on our senior project, just a 20 minute ski flick which will have a small scale premiere around April/May and will be up online for free shortly after. Again, sooo hyped for this.

The v-mount someone else posted would definitely work but it's not the most solid option. depending on how much you want to spend you could probably find a low profile cage which would also give you room to expand if you eventually wanted to add a light or audio recorder.

I haven't ever used a glidecam so I can't comment on how the different attachments would affect balance but that's something to keep in mind

M&A Anti-Stoke: Dropped and broke the kit 16-50mm sony kit lens. Concrete and lens are not a good combo. Anyone have any experience fixing lenses? I could probably get a used new one for ~140 anyway...

M&A Stoke: Bought a 12mm Rokinon f/2.0! wanted something wider anyway, figured now was a good time

25 2.8, 35 f2, 50 1.4, 85 1.4

Pretty much the cheapest possible set. I love it though. Originally started building a Contax set, but I didn't like the warm/low contrast look as much as I thought I would. And the ninja star aperture wasn't my thing.

I recently pulled focus on a short using only the 35 f2, and good god it was sharp. We even had to put a softening filter on it. Granted, that fact that we were shooting 6K might have had something to do with it...
