Someone did a side-by-side comparison of footage from an iphone and the Canon 7D. The iPhone video doesn’t look too shabby compared to the 7D, though it is noted by the Vimeo poster that they didn’t properly expose the 7D camera, so it’s not a true comparison of the quality. It’s still impressive. iPhone 4 [...]

As part of the Project:Direct contest for YouTube, my newest short film is online.

I was entertained by the first “Mummy” movie. I understood that it was sort of a light-hearted approach to the Indiana Jones films. A reimagining of the classic monster tale for a whole new generation. I was lucky enough to see it in Las Vegas many years back for a Blockbuster Video manager’s convention and [...]
I was entertained by the first "Mummy" movie. I understood that it was sort of a light-hearted approach to the Indiana Jones films. A reimagining of the classic monster tale for a whole new generation. I was lucky enough to see it in Las Vegas many years back for a Blockbuster Video manager's convention and I had a blast.
