The Blackmagic Cinema Camera: In Production and Comparison
Calling the Blackmagic Cinema Camera "eagerly anticipated" is an understatement. This camera priced at only $2995 has offered the promise of something truly special since it was announced. OneRiver Media owner Marco Solorio has spent 20 years living just ahead of the curve for both technology and creativity, and here puts both to work in the most comprehensive overview of the Blackmagic Cinema Camera to date. He takes the Cinema Camera through its paces, including some less-than-ideal conditions. There's a neutral grade to keep things fair, and Marco also intentionally left in the rolling shutter and vibration artifacts he found so that you can see what the footage REALLY looks like. Marco even offers comparison footage taken by the Canon 5D Mk III. You definitely don't want to miss this one.

Here's a look at what that means for YOUR shooting.

DSLR Lens Correction: Using Filters
Play Video
Even though you spend a lot of money on a lens, your beautiful lens could have some inherent flaws, but this video tutorial with Robbie Carman and Richard Harrington demonstrates that these distortions can be fixed in an unexpected way. Photoshop Extended CS5 allows you to open video clips and convert to a smart object, which allows you to run a filter on entire video clip instead of just one frame. Menu options within Photoshop allow you to choose your DSLR camera and lens, and if your lens is not available yet, create profiles online at Adobe for your own specific lenses and cameras, then watch Photoshop Extended begin correcting lens distortion.
