Taking tools built for Hollywood sets and using them in harsh outdoor environments is normal practice for adventure filmmaker Renan Ozturk. Here is a story how he used Teradek RT for a shoot in Costa Rica.

Some of the world’s most spectacular views are best seen from halfway up a wall of rock, says adventurer and filmmaker Renan Ozturk, adding that “that’s a place where gear has to be reliable, whether it’s crucial safety equipment or the cameras that let the rest of us experience the same dizzying panorama.” This is the type of situation that alpinist Renan Ozturk is familiar with, as his experience includes some of the steepest climbing challenges on the planet as well as documentary filmmaking and photojournalism c..

Use Anima by AXYZ Design to add digital extras to your scene

Not only are extras expensive, but in the age of COVID orchestrating larger crowd shots becomes a logistical nightmare. On-set production assistants need to remove masks between takes, keep track of which mask belongs to which extra, and return them whenever there’s a break in shooting. It’s no wonder that people have started looking to digital crowd agents, even for modest budgets.

In the past, the cost of crowd simulation VFX made it impractical for anything short of a blockbuster like Lord of the Rings. But now there are affordable ways to create digital actors for even lean indie productions. The secret is managing expectations as to what your digital people can get up to and still look believable. Cheering in a stadium, running, walking, yes. Kung Fu action in close combat? Not so much.

By far the easiest and most affordable entry into crowd simulation is Anima by AXYZ Design. They o..

You no longer need a professional app like FiLMiC Pro to shoot 25p with your iPhone.

Since my first article in ProVideo Coalition magazine in 2008, the elusive 25p (aka 25 fps) framerate has been a recurring theme for different reasons. One of the most recent one was when we became aware that the teleconferencing giant Zoom.us was exclusively using the 25p rate for connected cameras (link ahead to my best practices article). Up until very recently, people who lived in an ex-NTSC country and wanted the 25p (or 50p) option needed to be sure to acquire a “worldcam” camera since segregated cameras intentionally make 25p (and 50p) unavailable in these areas. Up until now, if you ever wanted to shoot 25p with an iPhone, regardless of where it was purchased (including PAL or ex-PAL territories), you had to purchase a pro app for the iPhone (i.e. FilMiC Pro) to access this and other exotic framerates. However, starting with iOS version 14.3, there has been a..
