Video on the Fujifilm X100

I’m loving the Fujifilm X100 for image making. It has a great sized sensor in a beautifully well made, retro-styled body. It does have its issues though. It is sluggish when taking multiple raw photos and its manual focusing is fiddly. They are not really issues that concern my use though, and I feel most [...]

The Lost Podcasts – Number 41

I found a folder of old recordings. I may start rummaging through them in order to upload some with more context and history. They remind me of a time when I spent longer in the story. Taking the time to listen & create. I still create long form media but rarely get asked for the [...]

HDRV – HDR Video is here

I visited Warwick University with Paul Hadley and talked with Professor Alan Chalmers about developments in High Dynamic Range (HDR) video capture. We got to see some incredible footage, as it should be seen, on HDR monitors. We considered dropping some of the footage into the interview above but it would have really sold the [...]

The Video Blogger #vlomo10

Francis Ross Bush is a Video Blogger. He has made thousands of videos, many of which are on YouTube. All are religious… Well, all the ones I have watched. He has chosen a strange destiny and is obviously highly educated with a decent upbringing. In the last few days his videos have got quite introspective [...]

This is dinner

Filmed edited and uploaded on the iPhone4 in an attempt to get some video up last minute on day three of #Vlomo10. As you can tell by the additional middle title that popped up saying ‘Subtitle’.. no that’s not intentional.. I had already had a rack of beer prior to attempting to edit and upload.. [...]

Abnormal Load #vlomo10

Day 2 of national video blogging month and I am already feeling the pressure. I apologise for the distorted audio but I’d not tried using my hands free kit as a mic before.

Day one of #Vlomo10 – Boy in a Box

It’s national video bloggers month already! It has come round so quick this year that I only realised about 11pm. Less than an hour ago.  Not a good start I know. Still, I captured this clip a few hours ago and as it’s the only video I shot today and as i don’t have time [...]
