Nikon & Atomos achieve HDMI Raw Output with the Z Line

By Jim Bask 0 Comment March 20, 2019

Filmmakers (and Atomos) have been waiting for camera-makers to output raw over HDMI. Now Nikon is the first to launch the long-awaited feature. 2018 was a big year for raw.

How to Design the Optimal Camera Setup w/ 1st AC Joshua Cote

By Jim Bask 0 Comment August 8, 2018

my career in the film industry, and as a 1st AC, can be boiled down to a handful of amazing mentors and friends giving me opportunities and teaching me the ropes. When I wanted to drop out of the mediocre university film program I was attending to begin pursuing a real career in movies and television, my parents and girlfriend (Jenn) were very supportive and gave me the courage (and the occasional tank of gas) to get through that first year of unpaid short films and reality TV day-playing PA gigs.”
