How much time will lapse before you can pronouce Eyjafjallajokull?

More great time lapse from the Canon stable, with motorised dolly.

Music video shot with DSLR

According to PB, this Blues Brothers-inspired video was shot by Paul Lawson using the 7D DSLR. Good filmic quality and shot within the limitations of the camera...ie: no rapid pans so no rolling shutter, etc.

Amazing comparison between DSLR and film.

This series of test comparisons of movie capabilities between the new breed of DSLRs and the benchmark of film, is compulsory viewing for anyone seriously considering HD movie making. Here are links to the first 2 in a series of 3 comparisons:

The final comparison takes on colour and green screen. So far these are real eye openers, so I guess its not totally surprising (though I am slightly awestruck) that the finale to the TV series "House" was shot with a 5D Mkii.

Moon Rise Time Lapse Tester

I'm getting the hang of time lapse using my Canon EOS 7D. Check out this is a very brief tester shot for "Tall Stories - Micro Movies", with music by evocative audio (also me). The weird brown night sky is curtesy of a nearby bush fire. The 16 or so seconds is made up of 444 still shots, and the night time section is in 0.5 slow mo.

I used AIR Xpand 2 as a plug in to Pro Tools to create the music for this clip in about 15 minutes, just recording the first thing that came into my head. I'm playing 4 different "instruments"/ patches at once using Xpand 2, with the complexity coming from using its in-built arpegiator. Feel free to ask me how to do it if you want, or AIR User Group blog has a good video tutorial on the subject.
