Nov04 What’s Bri been up to? A Knight’s Poem

Posted by Brian Tetrault • November 4th, 2011 at 9:00 am • permalink

I recently finished a really interesting and great project for Buckingham Browne & Nichols (BB&N). This shoot involved a lot of pre-production, pinpoint production (shoot day), and much time in post. This was the first kind of project I’ve done like this and it was a really great experience and can’t wait to do more like it! A few SERIOUS shout outs go to my brother, Jeff Tetrault, who helped me right from the beginning with concept and design and was the lead writer and consultant for me. Meg Rodney was a great assistant director and camera operator. Sheryl Lanzel did amazing as production assistant and production still photographer. Scott Venable is the knight (on Gaelen the horse) and Frank Hildebrand did the voiceover. The entire video was shot using Sony FS100 and Canon 5D MkII and edited in FCP7 & Soundtrack Pro. All behind the scenes photographs and production stills ©Sheryl Lanzel.

Oct18 Canon 1D X Announced

Posted by Brian Tetrault • October 18th, 2011 at 4:59 am • permalink

Well, in the chess match between Canon and Nikon, Canon has once again made a ‘first move’. Perfect timing for the upcoming Photo Plus Expo, this release of their new monster DSLR will surely great some stir–and probably some anger with Nikon folks. Quick summary: 18mp, full frame CMOS, 12 fps, ridiculously fast processing, all of the amazing movie capabilities you would expect–now with 2 different compression options. Those are just to name a few. I’ll let these guys fill in the rest:

Sep10 What’s next for video?

Posted by Brian Tetrault • September 10th, 2010 at 8:16 am • permalink

When it comes to movies and video, everyone’s been talking a lot about 3D. It seems that everything is 3D nowadays. But is that REALLY where this is going? I think that the push for 3D was way too fast and too strong and ‘they’ didn’t ease it out to us enough. So as fast as 3D has came alive (as it were), it will probably disappear just as fast. So let’s just say that were the case…so then what could be next? Saw this on Engadget and had to share it. What a cool concept! HDR Video? Who would’ve ever thought? Could somebody have made some kind of plugin for Final Cut that could have done this fake with any video footage? Probably, but it would be like taking one photograph, processing it a bunch of different ways and using all those to create an HDR image–just doesn’t cut it, it’s never the same as having pure raw images. For this experiment, 2 Canon 5D Mk2s were used at different exposures and combined together to create an HDR movie. It think this is very cool and hope it catches on!

Sep01 CANON 7D REVEAL

Posted by Brian Tetrault • September 1st, 2009 at 5:42 am • permalink

So in case you haven’t heard yet, Canon introduced it’s newest pro-sumer level camera, the 7D. Seems to be quite the amazing piece of equipment in terms of what they’ve jammed into this tiny machine. Here are a few key features to get you drooling:

-18MP APS-C CMOS sensor
-8 frames per second continuous shooting
-1080p HD video recording with manual controls
-3.0 inch Clear View II LCD screen with 920,000 dots
-19-point AF system (all cross-type)
-1.0x magnification and 100% coverage viewfinder
-Wireless flash control
-Environmental sealing

There’s much more where that came from too, click HERE for a full review and feature list from DP Review. My only question at this point is to you Nikon…what the heck are you doing?? I am long time Nikon shooter and advocate, but lately I’ve been getting more and more concerned…mostly with the fact that I have nightmares of change at night….ie me switching to Canon. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve never had anything against Canon at all, at this point the nightmares are originating from Nikon! What the hell are you doing Nikon! Instead of making less product and having nothing available ever, and jacking your prices so nobody can afford your stuff, maybe you should be looking at making better stuff!! If Canon can do it so can you Nikon!!! Get with it!

…..and I digress…

Canon folks, enjoy yet another battle victory, but remember the war is not over…until it’s over!
