IN[FOCUS]

We had a blast in Dallas last week with Patrick and Mike from the  StillMotion crew and Kevin Shahinian of Pacific Pictures sharing what makes an inspired film. From film theory to camera training to marketing, the presenters didn’t hold back and kept the audience in rapt attention from 10-5!

The tour bus stops in Orlando Tuesday, so register now if you haven’t already!  And register for IN[FOCUS] 2010 to see many others as well as completely new presentation by StillMotion.

Special thanks to DFWPVA officers Ladonna Aiken, Christine Moore, and Brian Gunn for handling the details of the event, Dennis and Barbara Beaty for providing the food and the drink, and Cindy Gravitt for taking these wonderful photos!

Can I just tell you how excited I am to finally see the launch of FilmFellas, Wedding Filmmakers edition this week, Wednesday August 5th? 

Cast IV (which will actually be wedding filmmakers cast 1 – just think of it like Star Wars) features IN[FOCUS] 2010 presenter Joe Simon, and Cast V (poster below) features presenters Patrick Moreau and Ron Dawson.  You can watch the episodes here, and we will be posting them to our blog as well.

So why are our counterparts getting to be featured alongside corporate, commercial, web, and feature filmmakers?  Well…because they’re filmmakers, plain and simple!  And, as a part of his filmmaking journey, Steve Weiss, founder of Zacuto, spent a few years in the early 80′s shooting weddings with VCR technology, so he has a soft spot for those of us who pursue this with passion today.

Because of the boost this will provide industry, please support Zacuto in any way you can.  Check out their product line, and read how we (Vlad) has showed how to incorporate a few of their products with the Canon Mark II 5D by clicking here and here.
