SENE Film, Music & Arts Festival Select B.E.F. Kim Wilde Promo

Yet more news on the film festival front! As readers of this blog may remember, last year, the SENE Film Music & Arts Festival screened the ‘Every Time I See You I Go Wild’ B.E.F. Kim Wilde music video (that I Directed & Produced) at Rhode Island Comic Con. I guess they liked it, because the video has just been selected for their main festival.

SENE Film, Music & Arts Festival takes place 22-27 April, 2014, in Providence, Rhode Island. ‘Every Time I See You I Go Wild’ will be screened there on Wednesday, 23 April at 6:45 PM.

RIFF, “the most celebrated film festival in Puerto Rico,” takes place at the resort of Rincon, between 7th & 13th April and includes screenings on the beech front during the day and amongst the palm trees at night. Tempted to go is an understatement.

Sony PMW-200

When the Sony EX1 was released, five years ago, it was an incredibly important camera, for a number of reasons. First and foremost, it was the only handheld full HD camera on the block. Secondly, it had three half inch sensors, making it great in low light. Thirdly, it had a real lens which allowed focus, aperture and zoom to be set manually. Last, but not least, it was the first Sony’s handheld camera to record to solid state cards. All of this should have made it the ideal ‘small’ camera for long form documentaries. However, it had one fatal flaw, namely it could only record internally at 35Mb/s 4:2:0, meaning it was not ‘broadcast quality’ (as defined by the EBU or BBC). Continue reading “Sony PMW-200”
