26Jul Lomography Petzval Portrait lens kickstarter
The video pretty much explains itself. A very cool little lens design from the past brought up to modern times. You can find out more on the kickstarter page here. I got in on the early adopter price of $300, I think only the $400 and above options are left. It looks pretty cool, but […]
25Jul ASUS RT-AC66U Gigabit wireless router & wireless 802.11AC
If you’ve been wondering why my posts have been somewhat sparse this month it’s because I’ve been moving and doing a lot of filming. One of the bad things about moving (besides packing and unpacking) is that your network setup completely changes. The layout of my old place allowed me to run dedicated cables to […]
22Jul Seiki 4k monitor price drop and new 39 inch 4k model under $1,000

I thought I’d order another monitor for the studio computer down stairs. This time I ordered the monitor from Seller “lightnspace” on […]

Finally there is some more information on what effects are supported when using OpenCL in latest version Adobe CC. Apparently the list is pretty comprehensive so instead of going over what effects are supported, lets take a look at the effects that aren’t supported when compared to an Nvidia’s Cuda cards. According to adobe here […]
08Jul New Video Editing PC build
I’ve been pushing my old Inlet i7-920 rig for a little longer then I probably should have and I’ve reached the limit on just about everything. The board has been maxed out in the RAM department since day one (24GB) and I’ve had to add a PCI-E card for USB 3.0 support. Don’t get me wrong […]
