  • 4: Stories from the Covid-19 Frontline

    Whilst virtually all other TV and film production has stopped, news crews are still working hard to keep us informed whilst sticking to the rules of social distancing and social isolation - which is pretty hard!

  • Episode 11: The One about the C300 Mk 3
    In April of 2020 Canon announced the C300 Mk 3. Using the same form factor as the C500 Mk 2, the big change is that the camera uses a Super 35mm sized sensor, not Full Frame.
    I am joined by two owner operators and filmmakers, Dave Young and Peter Demetris to discuss the camera as well as its new sibling the C70.
