If you haven’t seen the brilliant, raw choreography in Sia’s The Greatest music video, here it is. A beautiful tribute to the victims of the unfortunate mass murder in Orlando, FL. There is so much gold in this piece, but I’ll touch on 2 of my favorites.

We went to NAB 2016 and got our hands on impressive Panasonic VariCam LT and VariCam 35. For being out of the game for a while, these cameras truly impressed us. The color palette on the cameras have been compared to that of the Alexa. The skin tones were creamy and full of life. And the cameras…
We just returned from NAB 2016 and got to put out hands on Black Magic’s new DaVinci Resolve 12.5. A major upgrade! What were we looking for? When DaVinci Resolve 12 released, we were excited about their new editing suite, but found it was still too new to drop our current editing systems (Premier & FCPX) in hopes to use one…
