Director. Writer. Producer.
I am pleased to announce that ‘Every Time I See You I Go Wild’ – the B.E.F. video that I directed and produced, featuring Kim Wilde, has just won a Davey Award!
I would like to thank the International Academy of the Visual Arts for this honour, everyone involved in the production…and, of course, the dark forces of evil…
This is my second Davey Award win, the first one being for the ‘Toadlickers’ video that I Directed and Produced for Thomas Dolby
Nine months ago, in a piece about the just announced Nikon D4, I wrote “Chief amongst these features is a clean, uncompressed 4:2:2 HDMI feed with simultaneous output to the D4′s rear monitor…a clean uncompressed 1080p output…[is] MAJOR news, both in terms of what the Nikon D4 can offer filmmakers and because it could force Canon to reverse its decision not to provide a clean, uncompressed HDMI output on the 1D X. In fact, it could mean, dare I say it, a clean, uncompressed HDMI output on the Canon 5D Mark III…” Well nine months later, Canon has given birth to (the announcement of) a new firmware update that will provide the EOS 5D Mark III with a clean uncompressed (8 bit) 4:2:2 HDMI output.

Last year I posted about the KineRAW S35, a Chinese Alexa that Guardian photographer and DSLR News Shooter, Dan Chung, had discovered at the BIRTV trade show in Beijing.
At the time it was, essentially, vapourware, but now it seems that the launch of this camera is just weeks away…and at a projected price of approximately $6000 for a 2K (down sampled from 4K), 12 bit raw, S35mm camera, than can take PL, Canon & Nikon lenses, could turn out to be a very significant development.
Dan Chung has posted a 20 minute interview with JH from the camera’s developer, Kinefinity, and is currently testing the camera. If it fulfils its promise, then the combination of the KineRAW S35, Blackmagic Design’s new $3000, 2.5K raw shooting M43 Digital Cinema Camera and the crowd funded S16 Raw shooting Digital Bolex, might just be the catalyst for Sony, Canon & RED, to produce competitively priced raw cinema cameras…and if it is not, apparently Kinefinity has 4K raw, S16 raw & S8 raw cameras in development…

Dear Kodak,
In Act 1 you were the undisputed king of film. From Hollywood to Bollywood, some of the greatest movies ever made were captured on Kodak film. So too were some of the worst atrocities committed against humanity. You gave us the escape we needed during the worst of times, pricked our consciousnesses and changed the policies of governments during the best of times. Rock stars wrote songs about you. You shared our most cherished memories. Continue reading “A Letter to Kodak”
