I needed to shoot just 1 more character to complete the ‘Importance Of Being Earnest’ programme which goes into print very soon. Check out the other shots here.
This time we wanted something dark to reflect the character. I shot these pics at 11pm in a cold & foggy Christchurch park with available light from the street lamp.
Here’s one of our 2 entries into this years V48HOUR film challenge. You have 2 days to make 1 film. We decided to enter two teams. Conceived with 6 hours left and shot very very quickly. All shot on a GoPro Hero.

NOTE: This review is a work in progress! Only a very brief post for now.
The good folks at Atomos shipped me their new ‘Ninja‘ HDMI video recorder to review. What is it? It’s a hard drive recorder that records straight into Apple ProRes from a HDMI source – thus skipping the cameras onboard compression. For the review I’m pairing it up with my Panasonic AF102.
I really wanted to put it in a real world test so I took it on a job with me to Hong Kong for a solid week of shooting. Initial feedback is it’s a brilliant tool that really speeds up your workflow.
I started out with no way to mount to the camera. So I had to have it on its own tripod.
The weakness - HDMI ports are not sturdy.
Mounted on camera.
A simple Manfrotto arm type thing attaches it perfectly to the AF102 so I can have a camera light on top as well.
My editing setup. Thats the Ninja caddy on the bottom left - editing the ProRes directly into Final Cut Pro. No transcoding, no waiting around, Firewire 800, bam.
