3D shooting now is accessible

picture form dpreview


Remember I mentioned the latest DSLR-Panasonic GH2 can shoot in 3D, right? This is the lens she is going to work with!!! It's also compatible with G2 ( filmware ver 1.1) as well.

I'm not familiar with 3D technology. according to Panasonic JP official website, basically they solved the time lag as shooting 3D by using right and left lens to capture images and projecting to different places of the sensor. Then the sensor will combine two images shot simultaneously to one. It's really hard to understand....lol

Here is the pictures form Panasonic JP website

This is the look of GH2 with 3D lens.

New in town~Panasonic DMC-GH2



This fall will be the most exciting moment for DSLR film makers. Two days ago Panasonic announced the new micro four third camera- GH2. Compare to GH1, which is already a popular camera in DSLR filmmaking. GH2 has more improvements. It features world’s fastest AF (only 0.1 second) and Full HD 1080i(50/60p, GH1 only 25/24p) with up to 24Mbps recording rate, which makes more overwhelming image quality and smooth recording. Also, It’s the world’s first camera can shoot in 3D with 3D lens. And it’s continuous shoot can up to 5fps (GH1 is 3.5fps). The features GH2 has will raise more debates about which camera is the best DSLR in video recording. I think the image capture ability that GH2 has is really capable of threatening the lead Canon 5D II has. I can‘t wait to see how GH2 test videos will turn out.

Introduction video

How to have a stunning video or pictures economically

Remember Chase Jarvis, I mentioned his test shoot of Nikon D7000 before. For film beginners, this video filmed by him would be a good reference to save you pocket and teach you how to have a tasty photo or video as well. Personally, I think this video is more like a "Sandisk" commercial, sponsored by Sandisk, totally!!....Anyway, there are still some good thoughts I can take advantage of it. Also, as the DSLR filming is getting popular, any thing related to DSLR filming could be a market beneath it, even a sand bag!!! A $150 sand bag can create more angles of filming, I guess some people will take it as a money worthy investment. Will you?

A new coming from Nikon D7000

by dppreview.com



It has beeb a long while that Nikon fans waiting for D7000, and now it's here. With 39 points AF and 1080p HD movie with AF all time, Nikon D7000 is expected to be the best replacement of D90. Also, It's ready to join the battle field against Canon 60D and Sony A55.Now you can pre-order at Amazon etc. Personally, 39 points AF, ISO 6400 and 6 frames/ sec...those feature are strong to beat Canon 60D. However, before you have those cameras in hand, it's still hard to say which one is better. Anyway, I think D7000 brings a happy result  for those fans rumor and wait for a long time. Pocket, ouch!

After two years, Lehman are coming back, or I should say they never really fall down.  And I believe the way make they coming back is still the same way they pull world's economy down. Maybe trying to being fortune and living around central park, you need to step others' bodies. This remind me there is a saying in my country " It won't never be my kid's turn" which means always others die first. Are you ready for next recession?

As a beginner of After Effect, I always surf online looking for free tutorials. And I have followed a great website-Video Copilot since last semester. Not just because there are lots of cool effects and tutorials but those are all free also. Moreover, the tutorials are all videos that you can keep replay it till you get it, just like there is a instructor right beside you.

Here is my work today, I just followed the orders and not quite changed anything. 

By the way, I just got a new prime lens for my canon 500D. I did a test shoot this afternoon and it turned out quite well. Check out ! 

Bruning Koran~ridiculous

We know that U.S. government has been putting lots of resource and troops in Middle East and Afghanistan to destroy terrorism and bring peace and freedom to the people in those areas. Put the real purposes of attacking Iraq and Afghanistan aside, we should know it has been at least 7 years after Iraq and Afghanistan war broke out. During the period, numerous innocent local people and U.S. soldiers died for the suicide bombers or terrorist attacks caused by anti-America sentiment. In Muslim world, Koran is seen as the core of their culture. If Pastor Terry Jones really burned Koran on Sep 11th, it would definitely raise more Muslim against American, break the effort U.S. spent to maintain peace in Middle East and Afghanistan for a long time and put more people and U.S. troops in danger. By Pastor’s action, the blood from those sacrificed American soldiers will be nothing and meaningless. Eventhough I'm not american, but I still feel sad if there are some people going to lose thier precious lives just because of someone's stupid mind of burning Koran. God bless the world.
