UK-based photographer Nadav Kander was chosen for this daunting project.

    You can snap a still while filming video, and you can also change slow-mo speeds while filming, flipping between 30 and 210 frames per second with the touch of a button. Very, very cool.

    From Early Bird Workshop Kicks Off At SSA VI:

    “You folks (sports photographers) out of any workshop I go to, should understand this. It’s competition. If I was talking to studio portrait photographers, they wouldn’t know what I was talking about. You gotta beat them,” speaker Dave Black said, referring to capturing better action and trying innovative techniques to create images that other people don’t have.

    From Los Angeles Film+TV – Boxing, Sex and Madness: Mike Tyson, James Toback and the Ties That Bind – page 1:

    For 90 uninterrupted minutes, there is only one talking head in Tyson, and it is one that speaks with startling alacrity and candor about the humiliating taunts he suffered as a chunky, high-voiced mama’s boy; the petty criminality that earned him street respect and, ultimately, time served in a youth correctional facility; the confidence and sense of purpose he gained from boxing; the sharply honed physical and psychological manipulation he deployed in the ring; the qualities he seeks in a woman; his inability to manage money. Above all, Tyson speaks of the consuming desire to truly know thyself.

    From Los Angeles Music – Anvil! The Story of Anvil: A Canadian Metal Band’s Great Feature-Length Doc – page 1:

    A funny documentary has endlessly quotable lines. An even funnier documentary has endlessly quotable lines delivered in a Canadian accent. Sacha Gervasi’s Anvil! The Story of Anvil, a chronicle of the forgotten Maple Leaf metalers and their last-ditch effort for commercial and creative success, has given the band its second wind twice: first, as a sleeper hit that made the film-festival rounds, including Sundance, last year, and now as a nationwide release. So don’t feel too bad if you don’t know much aboot Anvil just yet.

  • From Searching for Sonny — First Feature Shot on DSLR | Gadget Lab from Wired.com:

    The team used a Canon 5D MkII for the shoot, although oddly paired with Nikon lenses — the director of photography Jeffrey Waldron has a collection of old manual glass and it was cheaper to just grab a converter than load up with new Canon optics. It also meant that the apertures could be controlled. Apparently, when the 5DMkII is is shooting video in Live View mode, the aperture goes auto, meaning no control of depth of field.
