[Mark Toia]

I'm not happy, still no mounts...
I'm about to fly to 5 countries shooting hand held portraits... Perfect Canon Lens gig... Count mount no show !
I bet I take off in the plane and a email will arrive the day i leave saying its ready!

At least I have Playback. Life with an EPIC is incredibly good.

Images look awesome Justin. What lens/es did you shoot these stills on?

Hey Brad, Thank you..
This is all video and just grabs from it (amazing huh!!)

I used the CANON 70-200mm IS II
I also used the ZEISS CP.2 50mm and 85mm

Great looking footage! Cute dog, too.

Thanks, he is a great dog, and knows he cute too... He gets more "AWW He's so cute" comments on the street each day then I do a year (or three)!

Congrats Justin! It's a killer combo for sure!

Mark, when do you FLY out? I have a job the 7-15th of DEC but before and after that I could probably send you the mount..

How does everyone compress their footage? My stuff was uploaded at full uncompressed 422 (1.2gb file) and it still looks pixelated? Is Vimeo better?

Justin I generally use some kind of compressor that uses x264, to export the h264 codec for web based projects. I believe thats what Red actually uses when posting their footage online, but I can't seem to find a link to support this. I'll keep looking. I have not worked with much Red footage, but this is what I find to be the best solution for my motion graphics and DSLR work: I generally export to something very close to Lossless, and then actually use Handbrake to compress the file to h264, as it uses x264 and is free! The results typically have very few artifacts.
Also, vimeo seems to look better to me, but thats just my opinion. There's probably not too much of a difference.
