slaughter across the water

My brother Jon’s film is a 2010 Visions Awards nominee for Outstanding Documentary Production.  He’s in the running for the audience favorite and needs your vote.  Cast your vote here!  In fairness you can see all the nominee videos here.

The film was shot on a collection of Canon HV30’s, equipped with the Sennheiser MKE 400 boom mic (with the Sennheiser MZW 400 wind-muff, makes all the difference on windy days like this!) and the Panasonic VW-W4307H 0.7x wide angle converter.  Posted entirely in Final Cut Studio 3, I think SATW is an excellent example of getting great picture and sound out of an inexpensive filmmaking setup.  Not to mention, the story telling ain’t half bad (which always helps).

…to make all us Color users wonder if the grass is greener on the other side.  If $995 for DaVinci Resolve software didn’t get your undivided attention from NAB press, then I’m clueless.

Thanks to Eric over at PrepShootPost for shooting this.  And here’s an interview with Grant Petty, CEO of BlackMagicDesign, talking about the new Resolve offering.

Now head straight over to FXPHD to download their 10 part DaVinci Resolve course.  Now, if my brother buys the 5D and I buy Resolve and a Tangent Wave…
