It's really an ode to shooting with film.

Link of The Day - HowToFilmSchool.com

Usually i link to specific articles or Blog posts. today I'm linking to a main page.
howtofilmschool.com   has a bunch of articles and blog posts about making movies in a larger environment with multiple departments and multiple people in each department.
That is NOT the world I live in, but no budgeters & low low budgeters  can still learn from the people that do.
We may not have a cat of thousands, multiple units shoots at different locations, or even different people to light and shoot, but learning how others do things can only be a benefit.

Link of The Day - The Art of Asking

It's not about how to MAKE people pay for content, it's about how to let them WANT to to help you.
Even if it means paying for content.

Interesting, because the speaker has experienced the process.

Lucky number 7 for canon?

According to Canon Rumors.com they are expecting the 7Dmkii, 70D, & 700D (T5i) to come out this year.
They are saying the 70D will come out 1st in march and the 700D in June.   I thought march was the usual month to release the new rebel models (??0D / T?i) but they are expexting something different.
The 7dmkii is supposed to come out is Augsut, the last time there where rumours of a 7mkii is was supposed to be released nerer the end of the year.
7Dmkii Specs
70D Specs (also has stuff about 7Dmkii
700D Specs ??? - I can't find any proported specs for this one  but there is mention that all APS-C bodies will get a new sensor

This is a 'full' list of what's expected this year.

• EOS 70D – March 2013
• EOS 700D – June 2013
• EOS Me – July 2013
• EOS 7D Mark II – August 2013
• EOS 3D – October 2013

There where also reports last fall that there is a 40mp + body in development with no time line for announcment or release. (just threw that in for fun:)These are of course Rumours, from a site that is called Canon "Rumors".com but it's fun to speculate.

Summerfolk Performers are proclaimed!

                            New Site Look & 2013 performers

http://summerfolk.org/
http://summerfolk.org/performers/
Youtube Channel with performer videos

They are up nice & early & there appears to be a video for each performer (I haven't checked each one, yet) &
they have a youtube channel with performer videos.

The line up looks pretty good (from what I've looked at)  There aren't too many I remember seeing before and I can't see any from last year.

It seems like less performers than last year , so there could be a few more to come.

Note:Early bird tickets end March 31st.

*Also did I mention the  Proclaimers are coming ?
