Thanks to my guide on DSLR cinematography I have the opportunity to get my hands on some filmmaking equipment for review purposes. This is also possible because I'm moving into an apartment July 1, which will be the first time in nine months that I'll have steady access to my 5D (not to mention a physical address to receive things in the mail). In light of this, I started wondering, "what gear would people like to see reviewed?" And then I realized I should just ask you! So please leave a comment with any gear you're wondering about. This could be a category of tools (e.g., tripods, viewfinders, steadicams) or a specific item (e.g., Zacuto Z-Finder, Genus Matte Box, Shoot35 Follow Focus). Let me know and I'll do my best to get ahold of it and let you know if it's worth your hard-earned dollars!
NAB 2024: We Interview the Minds at Maxon
Cinematography for Actors chats with Chief Product Officer Steve Hogue at the Maxon's NAB booth.
Popular post production asset company Maxon is always keeping up with the latest trends in elevating pictures digitally—whether its generating a slick transition or the addition of particles.
Whether its Z Brush, Cinema, Red Shift, Forger, or Red Giant, Maxon's creative suite is robust for all kinds of digital work spaces. As an editor I've worked extensively with their different softwares and they're all pretty handy and user friendly.
We catch up with Maxon and get a sneak peak at what they're developing, as well as some hands on play with Cinema 4D at their NAB booth.
