The Atomos Ninja: Problem Solving Device for DSLRs
The Atomos Ninja, is a pretty insane device. Using the HDMI output on your DSLR, the Ninja can capture your uncompressed footage and convert it to Apple Pro Res. Not only that, but the Ninja also captures this footage to your own hard drives that you simply slide in and out using their included caddies....
50+ Inception Style Trailers
We’re huge “Inception” fans over here at the CrumplePop office, especially “Mind Heist” the song used in the trailer. I was overjoyed to stumble across FilmmakerIQ’s 55 Re-edited “Inception” Movie Trailers. They gathered a collection of the best “Inception” style trailers. They run the gamut from comedies like “SuperBad” (which works shockingly well) to other...

AF100 vs RED
Panasonic AF-100 Vs RED Green and White screen comparison from McGee Digital Media Inc. on Vimeo. Pretty exciting to see the AF100 perform so well against a RED.

Anti-Moire Plug in
I caught this over at Philip Bloom and found it pretty interesting. Jorgen Escher created an FCP plug in that deals with moire problems that seem to run so rampant (especially in hair as you can see above.) It won’t help with huge areas of moire but its seems to do the job for small...
