Article Comment – Editing 4K Footage with a MacBook Air - Is it Possible?

Article Comment – Super Tiny 4K Z Camera E1 is Now Shipping

GH3's and 4's are absolute crap in low light. Fine in daylight or indoor with a good fill and a flat profile, but I hate them in low light. Not sure why anyone would want this, or the low end Black Magic, as they're both producing FPN from hell in low light. I'd stick with a 5D or a 7D.

Article Comment – How Rethinking Your Demo Reel Could Help You Land a Dream Job

As a producer evaluating reels to see if I want to hire a shooter, I want to see different kinds of shots in various lighting conditions. I want to see a resume that shows you have experience. At that point, I care nothing about your personality.

This seems more like a video cover letter, which is a clever idea, and you do want to let your prospective employer know you understand their business and have a passion you can bring to the position.
