XDCAM EX1 on the road blog

3500 Phil? Don't short yourself. There is certainly a premium to a Bloom-owned cam. I'd say double street price at least. Especially if you throw in a good bottle of scotch.

Don't forget to sign the lens - really make it a collector's item!

Thanks for your EX3 review once again - it's one of the main reasons that my EX3 is sitting on my desk right now!

ANOTHER "MASTERPEACE" MR. BLOOM! The helio shots not bad, as far as movement but if you really want them smooth then open up "Motion" and apply the stabilization, it is amazing how smooth it makes things, one recent helicopter shoot, it made the shoot look like a computer generated fly over.

Would like to hear your thoughts on the Zylight.

one piece of royalty free music, level playing field. Do with as you please!

Shoot on whatever you want!!

Philip, as a filmmaker I'm sure you've seen this, but if not, PLEASE watch the opening sequence of "Days of Heaven". This music was featured in the opening montage. This is a beautifully shot feature mostly shot during the "Golden Hour".

Phil Bloom · October 5th, 2008, 10:26 PM

of course, just because it is familiar doesnt discount. I want to see what imagination can be done with a familiar piece of music! I want to be surprised!

Oh I like the music.. very moody. I have no hope of winning, my style is more 80s action movie than anything else.. but I might put something together.

Dave Morrison · October 5th, 2008, 10:30 PM

Yeah, absolutely NO complaints about the piece itself. I only wish I could do it justice!
