NAB 2012 - Last Day

NAB Day 2 Mark Heitke

Posted By Mark Heitke

The show rages on. Today was a day to check out everything cameras and production, which meant I lived in Central hall. I spent most of time visiting with camera vendors since as a Post Producer I deal with new cameras and workflows daily. Looking ... Continue reading "NAB Day 2 Mark Heitke" »

The languages of NAB

Posted By John Parenteau

I don't really speak any languages. I like to think I remember some of my cumulative 5 years of French, and because I'm half French, that I have a genetic predisposition to know it, but I'll be honest. I suck at it. But having some understanding of ... Continue reading "The languages of NAB" »

Monitor, Monitor on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?

Posted By TJ Ryan

When I come to Vegas, pressing the 6 and putting a hundred on a hard eight is a gamble I'm willing to make. But, when it comes to equipment, like monitors, I don't gamble on picture quality. I started out in this business in Telecine Dailies. Working ... Continue reading "Monitor, Monitor on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?" »

For Us...The Winner is Premiere.

Posted By Ian Karr

I never thought I'd write this, but I think IKA Collective is going to become an Adobe Premiere house. One of the main missions I had for this year's NAB is to decide on a new editing platform. Final Cut X isn't an option for us. 99% of all editing ... Continue reading "For Us...The Winner is Premiere." »

Blackmagic Casting a Spell

Posted By Ian Karr

By Ian Karr The new Blackmagic cinema camera is getting a lot of attention. Offering 2.5K resolution for a 3K price tag, this could be really cool. I hope the images it generates look better than the camera itself...it's channeling a 1990's era Kodak ... Continue reading "Blackmagic Casting a Spell" »

Parallel Paths

Posted By Ian Karr

As I walk the floor of this year's NAB, I'm struck by what seems to be a clear fork in the production road. To the right, RED, Alexa and other "high road" cameras and workflows. To the left are the "low road" DSLRs, dominated by Canon but Nikon is ... Continue reading "Parallel Paths" »

NAB 2012: Arrival - Mark Heitke

Posted By Mark Heitke

Ah, Las Vegas, Since a million people have written about this place I figured I might as well add in my eloquent two cents. There is a strange appeal of Vegas that I can't fully explain, but it falls somewhere in the area of what it felt like when ... Continue reading "NAB 2012: Arrival - Mark Heitke" »

Why John Lennon still rocks

Posted By John Parenteau

I'm a huge Cirque du Soleil fan. I've probably seen every show they've done, and can even pronounce the French name correctly. The best show, in my learned opinion, is Love. A tribute to the Beatles, at the Mirage, is so magical I would swear they're ... Continue reading "Why John Lennon still rocks" »
