NeedCreative Brief Podcast (Archive)

In this episode, Paul talks about what he saw (and didn't) at NAB 2016, especially the Red Raven. But this wasn't about traveling to see cameras... it was about people and why we do what we do.

Paul talks collaboration platforms for sharing videos with clients and gathering edits back. Then he goes over the Sony FS5 Firmware 1.11, and how it addresses the complaints he originally brought up to the world. This and more on the latest NeedCreative not-so-Brief Podcast!

In this latest episode we talk about all kinds of great portable lighting options we use on various shoots that don't have to cost a lot of money. Then I go on about some of the best online resources for filmmakers and tech lovers, especially on YouTube.

Sony listens. Others would not. What does this say about the state of the Intenet? Also we discuss the latest Sony FS7 firmware, the A7RII vs the A7SII, and life. It's a fun show. We have something to celebrate. :)

Well not really. Apparently, I set off an absolute shitstorm regarding the Sony PXW-FS5 camera. I had no idea so many people (including me) could get so passionate about a tool no one will care about in 5 years. :) But here it is. In this episode I explain and clarity my position and experiences. (Yes it's a nice camera!). I talk about the limitations and how to work around them. I make some suggestions to Sony on what to improve/fix and how to better market and treat their customers. I speak of the "opportunity costs" pyramid and how it relates to filmmaking gear. Then I move away from the subject towards the things that matter most.

Is the new Sony FS5 a great camera or a noisy messy one? Is it worth your money? Hear some real world feedback here.

Paul talks about tests and experience with the FS7, A7RII, and the new FS5 and tries to decide what is worth owning or budgeting for

Today Paul talks about his experiences with the DJI Zenmuse X5, and why 8 bit 4k doesn't necessarily suck.
