Sony just put up two great videos shot by photographer and Sony Artisan of Imagery David McLain with the new SLT-A99 camera. Like fellow photographers Vincent Laforet and Chase Jarvis, McLain has immersed himself into cinematography. With the A99 in hand, he traveled to 73 countries, shooting in real-world situations to create a stunning-looking personal

It’s really getting difficult to keep pace on Sony cameras, which in recent years have released a virtual “Murderers’ Row” of cameras for filmmakers. Just two years ago, the NEX-VG10 was released and was branded a revolutionary product since it was the first consumer camcorder to contain an APS-C sensor. Now, Sony has clearly swung for

Soon Sony will be going all out on the 3D front by releasing a multitude of 3D cameras and support designed for every aspect of production. At the high-end of 3D motion picture production (Avatar, TRON: Legacy), the ideal set up is still your traditional two camera beam splitter or side-by-side 3D rigs by companies

In the past, there have been many industry wars, both in hardware and formats. Think film vs. digital, CMOS vs. CCD, Blu-ray vs. HD DVD, etc. Right now, another war is brewing and this involves indie filmmakers who want to step up to one of the latest large sensor video cameras that are currently out

I attended a special Sony press event at USC last week (11/17/2010) in which they unveiled a breakthrough camcorder targeted towards indie filmmakers.
