Tweet I remember the NAB show a few years back when everyone told me to check out a new company called Imagineer Systems. “They have some planer tracker that is amazing!” I was told. At that time I had no clue what a planer tracker did so of course I was most curious. Their presentation left a standing room only crowd blown away. Flash forward. No longer does Imagineer Systems spend big dollars on the fancy booths. What they do [...]

The best part about it is there are awesome new tools such as Magic Bullet Mojo, priced at a mere $99, that will boost up your ordinary hd or [...]
Tweet Image by mickiky via Flickr Shallow Depth of Field For the filmmaker, HD camcorders gave us the freedom to shoot without the expense of film and development cost. The drawback was the inability to achieve shallow depth of field. With a fixed lens HD camcorder, everything is in focus down to the smallest detail.
