VHS tape installation
Indie filmmakers need to have a rest for new idea. I offer an art installation for it on this site. I found interesting art installation work by using our material, VHS tape. This is made by New-york based Lithuanian artist Zilvinas Kempinas. The tube made from VHS tape gives a fantastic view to an audience.
GoPro is developing drone
GoPro shares their unreleased drone’s footage. You can find out very smooth footages which they shared on YouTube upper. GoPro said this now developing drone will be released on early next year.
ROXOR handheld gimbal camera for $200 – similar with DJI OSMO
The gimbal equipment company, Filmpower which is famous with Nebula 4000 series announced cheaper version handheld gimbal camera. It looks like DJI OSMO that which was introduced from DJI recently. They are not introducing in detail on website. You cannot see any introduction video on web. Here is the product features they introduced.
I think this can be alternative device for OSMO for the users looking for cheaper one.
Product Features:
An intergration 3-axis Stabilization Camera System with LCD Screen
Smart Gimbal Fully Stabilized 4k Video, 12MP photo,
Time-lapse photography
Slow motion 1080@60FPS 720@120FPS
Wifi monitor and remote control with smartphone
Smart battery can be replaced, 2 hours of photo@video
Maximum supported 32GB TF card
1/4 Screw suite of accessories
Cinema5D gives DJI Inspire LUT for Free
(photos from Cinema5D)
Today, Cinema5D announced on their blog that they give LUT for DJI Inspire 1 by free. You can download it this by submitting your name and email address onto their form at here
DJI Osmo will be game changer in filming?
this video which was published by The Verge shows DJI Osmo’s functions, mobility and testing shot. The video quality looks great and also stabilizing is also perfect as I expected. However, DJI Osmo is limited in not-changeable lenses. It looks DJI want to expand mobile camera industry from only aerial cinematography. it can be threaten to GoPro’s market. Especially, selfie mode on Osmo can be great choice to indie news reporter.
DJI launched Zenmuse X5 whichi can be interchangeable camera lens with DJI Inspire series. it is better option to shoot a video with various option. I think this first version OSMO will be upgraded to OSMO with Zenmuse in near future.
Introducing Lightroom style’s color grading - HyColour for FCP X
HyColour – Super Handy FCPX Colour Correction
I prefer to work with Lightroom for color grading. But FCP and Davinci has different UI for color grading. Especially, Davinci is great function and best color grading tool in this industry. But its UI and processing is very complicated to grade a color for video perfectly. Also Davinci’s workflow is a little slow.
Hycolour is based in Adobe Lightroom’s style color grading. it has warm and cool color correction. and one of my favorite thing is “removing green-cast tool” which removes green color under fluorescent light.
HyColour’s official introducing website is here http://www.hyfx.tv/hycolour
The feature lists for HyColur
White Balance with auto exposure compensation
Fine tune white balance with Warm Hue and Cool Hue
Overall Exposure control
Individual control over Highlights, Mid Tones and Shadows
Saturation Control
Change the overall bias of the image with Green-Magenta and Yellow-Blue (great for matching footage from different cameras after a multi-camera shoot)
Incredible Green Cast Removal for removing colour casting when shooting under fluorescent lighting
Easy Sharpening/Softening as well as advanced control as an option
Broadcast Safe Filtering for when you output for broadcast
Smooth controls. All of the sliders operate within real world limits.
5 Handy and creative ways to mount microphones
Audio recording by external microphone is very important to get and make high quality footage. However, mounting microphone is not always easy in special environments. This video shows special ways to mount microphone on difficult situation and places.
Mac Pro vs 5K iMac for filmmaking
A blogger uploaded a long video clip on YouTube to compare 5K iMac with Mac Pro what is faster in editing. This video clip is too long to see all of comparisons. However, I would write down the experience of iMac and Mac Pro.
Needless to say, Mac Pro is more stable than iMac. The reason is from the chip of Mac Pro. iMac uses i7 chip which is fit with perfectly portable device. Mac Pro use Xeon chip. This chip has more power in calculating complex formula than iMac it has.
iMac’s CPU clock speed is more higher than Mac Pro it has. However, I think stability is more important in production and post-production in filmmaking than CPU clock speed.
What is your idea?
GoPro pay for your footage
GoPro announced GoPro Awards which has 5 million dollars funding for GoPro users. They said GoPro will give a reward for each great clips which was taken by GoPro.
Photo – $500

Filmmaking in the moon
NASA recently showed up their Apollo project’s photo archive on Flickr. And then a few days later, one of Vimeo users made stop-motion animation from their photo archive. It was great experience like you went to the moon.
I thought it must be great a promotion or a commercial if some company make a film in the moon. Who can do that? Apple?, Nike? or Tesla?
Have you thought about tape storage? The new LTO Gen 7 standard will provide secure high capacity storage for 30 years on low cost media.
LTO 7 will store 15TB for 30 years? I think this is not reasonable choice. Because in near future, we can have giga network in the world. and also Google Apps for Work support unlimited storage for $10 per a user. I live in Seoul, I am backing up my all of footage which size is over 100TB by using giga network and Google Drive.
This video explain the way how to make contact sheet as PDF document for video files by using Adobe Bridge and Photoshop
Røde suggest cheap option for indie filmmakers than real professional brand such as Senheiser or Shure.
Aerial Timelapse - SATLAPSE
I found great video on YouTube that called SATLAPSE. I have watched aerial video by using drone. However it was a little bored. and also there are a ton of time-lapse video on the web. it was also bored. But this combined, time-lapse plus aerial shot looks amazing.
Editing video can be a tedious, time consuming process. If you use Premiere to edit, these shortcuts will help you get the job done faster.
Edit Video Faster With These Premiere Shortcuts
I’m not using Premiere. However, for an user of Premiere, I want to share a link for tips to shorten editing time when you use Adobe Premiere.
Video interviews about Sachtler's new gimbal/stabilizer combo called the Artemis Trinity and Artemis Maxima (gimbal only).
Artemis introduced super big stabiliser which can carry up to 30 KGs. It looks very smooth on demo video. But as you knew, this item is can not be applied for independent filmmakers. Big stabiliser needs a rest and many assistants to support that. I often use Nebula 4000 lite with Sony a7S. Recently similar item with Nebula was released from CAME TV. I will have a chance to write a detailed review about Nebula in near future. Nebula 4000 is fantastic portable one handed stabiliser for self filmmakers.
Rode just introduced the i-XLR, a digital iPhone XLR adaptor for Apple iOS devices that turns your iPhone into a high quality audio recorder
A great news for independent filmmakers! Audio recording via XLR is better than other ways. For this reason, I usually using XLR input & output in audio recording. I usually use external audio recorder, TASCAM DR-100 or directly put on SHOGUN 4K recorder. TASCAM is portable device, however it cannot be more portable than iPhone. RODE XLR Adaptor can be another great option for independent and self filmmakers.
