I hope you & all the upset creators start to complain about sanitizing content for TV and interrupting it with commercials ... or was THAT the creative choice all along?

Also please disable the fast forward, skip ahead and pause buttons. HOW DO I DARE use ANY of those !!!! LOLOL

Article Comment – Need to Store Your Tripods & C-Stands? This is a Great, Cheap DIY Solution

I use snowboard bags to carry light stands. It's cheap enough, durable, with shoulder strap. You can open it all around nicely lay them down and zip it. :)
You can sometimes put in small lights as well.

Article Comment – Thoughts on Shooting with the 4K DJI Phantom 3 & Grading the Footage to Look Awesome

the whole footage is very wobbly, exposure varies. Wonder how much stabilisation was used in post? Is the camera setup for close focus? Or why is it so "unsharp" in the distance? I'm thinking to upgrade my phantom2+Gopro4 combo to inspire, but I get better quality footage from my current setup.
Shots are very nice.

some samples:

Article Comment – Learn Depth of Field with this Powerful (& Free) Online DOF Simulator

As a point of reference on full frame I start with this setting:
24-35mm f4
50-90mm f5,6-f8
to me they intercut nicely and I have a good chance not loosing focus, while still having nice out of focus area.

One warning though. If you are shooting for BIG screen ( theater ), your out of focus area become much more pronounced on that big screen. What looked good on 50" monitor didn't translate that well to big screen. From now on I'm not going past f4 ( as a general rule ).
