Battle of the Bokeh is back and we're looking at some fast 35mm lenses from Canon, Nikon and Sigma with the Canon 35mm 1.4L, Nikon 35mm G AF-S and Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM, respectively.

Visualizing ‘Django Unchained’ | MEKADO MURPHY | New York Times
“Skin naturally reflects and moves in a way that makeup doesn’t,” Mr. Richardson said. “So we had to figure out a way to light him.” He and his team decided to put lights a little closer to Mr. Jackson to raise his light value. “Because the primary story circles slavery, of course every shot will, in one way or another, deal with the contrast of black and white.

| Filmmaker Magazine
For years the standard of working with NLEs has been left fingers planted on J, K, L, right hand on mouse. It’s not a terribly bad way to edit. Doing it for years you build up a fast muscle memory, but there are still keyboard tasks that stretch the limit of what you can remember, along with the span of your thumb and pinkie.Is there a faster way? We’ll look at two options, one an iPad app and the other a program to customize the trackpad.

| Shane Hurlbut | Hurlblog
While working with one of my favorite directors, Maurice Marable, we were doing a spot in an underground parking garage. When you went with the color temp of the lights that existed in the space, the mood was blah, no depth, no dimension. I got on the scroll wheel of the Alexa and cranked it down to 2700 deg.

ZACUTO LAUNCH THE C-SHOOTER – A SIMPLE YET ELEGANT RIG FOR THE CANON C100, 300 AND 500 | Dan Chung | DSLR News Shooter
The grip relocator is key to making the whole thing work. The Canon original handgrip is moved off the side of the camera and down onto the rig, with a short cable allowing it to control the camera as if it were still attached. I have used the original for a while and truly love it; the new version looks even better for my needs.

| Filmmaker Magazine
As it’s probably the case on all indie shoots these days, we could have used a bit more of everything. More people, more time, more money.
