One of the unsung heroes of the film industry is the focus puller. It doesn't matter how great the camera movement, lighting, or acting is if the image on the screen is out of focus. Traditionally, the focus puller, or 1st Assistant Camera (AC), operates on the side of the camera, using a follow focus to mark spots and "pull focus" to follow the action/subject. In many cases it isn't too difficult for the camera assistant to move along with the camera, but when the director calls for complex shots on jibs, dollies, stabilizers, or motorized

Once upon a time, the choices for portable video tripod legs were limited to one design: two-stage, dual-aluminum tube construction, with a ground or mid-level spreader, and that was it. Single-tube legs for still photo shoots have a few nice features, but just aren't designed to handle the situations that confront video shooters. This makes them unsuitable for most video work, and relegates them to extremely small compact camera use, or specialty shots where a bigger set of tripod legs just won't do. However, E-Image has a set of tripod legs

The popularity of on-camera LED light sources continues to rise, due in large part to their compact size, versatility, and energy efficiency. While the technology has improved drastically over the past few years, the quality of LEDs can vary greatly from manufacturers, leading to inconsistencies between identical models, as well as poor color accuracy. Lighting is the heart and soul of photography and videography; the element with arguably the most importance to technical value and artistic expression. Because of this, it is an area in which

Not to worry. ikan has you covered with a wide range of

As McCormick explains, Panasonic has put a second sub camera on the end of the LCD screen. With this sub camera, you can capture two angles at once, a selfie or reaction shot, and more.
