So you want to work with raw video, huh? Good. You’re ambitious—I like that. Working with raw video, however, is not something to be taken lightly. It’s a very powerful asset that has been made available to many consumers through a variety of affordable cameras from Blackmagic Design. But raw video takes up a lot of space and the benefits can be a little esoteric or unclear, especially if you don’t come from a stills photography

Despite the ever-changing, ever-growing camera market where photographers and videographers alike salivate at the latest innovations, one could say that the still and video camera market comprises two types of cameras: those with built-in lenses (fixed-lens cameras), and cameras compatible with interchangeable lenses (sometimes called system cameras, if they belong to a specific camera-lens ecosystem). There are inherent advantages in each design, and it is very possible that one of these types of cameras suits your image-making

If you look back to the first days of television, you will find that it was an incredibly crude system that bears little resemblance to what we know today as video. I have seen images created with this early technology, and my initial response was, “I can't tell what I'm looking at.” This is because the original TV systems had very little image tonal range and resolution, so to make out an image it had to be extremely contrasty, resulting in heavy use of makeup on actors and using lighting sources that cast hard shadows to define a

The truth of the matter is that whether you are working on an indie film or a big-time Hollywood production, set etiquette is really the same. As you work on more shoots, you will most likely start out as a production assistant and work your way up to other positions, and understanding proper set etiquette will help you build and protect your reputation. Your reputation will precede you as you work in the industry, and it can take a long time to change your reputation if you develop a bad one. So it is worth it to protect your reputation. I

I have been using filters ever since I first shot Super 8 film with a little Kodak M-22 camera. Just press the funny-looking piece of metal into the top of the camera to drop in (or remove—I can't remember which it was) the Wratten 85 filter that allowed you to use tungsten-balanced film in daylight, and achieve the correct color balance. Over the years, my filter experience has pretty much stayed the same—I use filters to achieve a

Over time, you are going to acquire a variety of specialty tools and gear to help you accomplish your shoots and to make your production life easier. However, for those of you who are just starting out, or even if you’ve already assembled a bag, what follows are a few items which, over the years, I’ve found to be invaluable. However, before I start, I’d like to suggest a few things that are essential for productions in general, even if they aren’t part of your on-set bag. A spare set of car keys, when driving to a shoot, a spare pair of socks—

Cameras continue to get smaller and lighter, without necessarily being designed with better ergonomics. Media costs drop, resulting in increased improvisation and on-the-fly filmmaking and, of course, you are always balancing quality with getting as much done as possible. So, unless you are making yet another Blair Witch Project, or reviving the shooting style of the TV series Hill Street Blues, smooth is the word when it comes to camera movement. In this article, I'm going to go over many of the available choices for stabilizing your camera

After only a few minutes of shooting with one of Panasonic's recently introduced Twin Camera line of consumer camcorders, I found it hard to put down the camcorder, because I was just having so much fun.

While the latest cameras, lenses, and 4K recorders catch most of the headlines, any video shooter knows that the greatest camera rig in the universe won't do you any good if you can't keep it powered. With each electronic component you add, the more batteries and chargers you'll need in your gear bag and the harder it is to keep all your gear powered during a long day of shooting. Wouldn't it be great if you could power your camera, monitor/recorder, and even charge your smartphone all from the same power source? Well, now you can, thanks to

Even a photographer with a $500 camera can capture amazing clarity with just about no training whatsoever. Almost every one of these cameras now has the option to shoot video, usually in an HD resolution (or even 4K video, on some models). Lots of photographers, even the professional ones, are clueless when it comes to picking the best settings,

Just when I thought I was going to have a relaxing weekend at home watching Netflix and catching up on some reading, one of the hottest new items in town was dropped onto my desk: the Sony a7RII. Ever since it was first announced, the a7RII is a camera that I couldn't wait to get my hands on, as it is the first in the a7 family to record 4K (UHD) video internally; a feature that many a7S owners—myself included—would love to have. The camera seemed almost too good to be true, offering internal 4K (3840 x 2160) recording in full-frame and Super
