Pileated Woodpecker digging for food in a red maple. Princeton, NJ. July 29, 2012.

Pileated Punk

By Jon Roemer On 29 Jul ’12 · 2 Comments

For the past few weeks woodchips, sizable ones, have been appearing daily on our patio. They’re there every morning as I make my way to the studio, no signs of their origin.

Today, I found the culprit.

About 18″ in length, the Pileated Woodpecker is the largest woodpecker in North America. This one [...]

Quick & Easy: Batch Canon C300 MXF to MOV via FCP X

By Jon Roemer On 28 Jul ’12 · 1 Comment

In previous posts I covered getting the C300′s MXF files into your computer to begin work within NLE’s but what if you need to quickly get many clips to a client for review? The MXF format is not native to many operating systems and the footage needs to remain within its captured file [...]

Safari Deep Sixes RSS Feeds

By the Rivers of Long Valley

By Jon Roemer On 19 Jul ’12 · 2 Comments

How do you fit an event space for 150 people, six classrooms, and a full-size catering kitchen between a church and a parish house while meeting floodplain and wetlands restrictions (a river borders one edge of the property,) registered historic district requirements, and multiple easements?  With ingenuity and not too many parallel lines.

The restrictions, [...]

A great movie by Benh Zeitlin, who has since gone on to make Beasts of the Southern Wild.

Glory At Sea! from Court 13 on Vimeo.

If you spend too much time on photography and cinematography blogs, if you read the latest in camera reviews and pixel peep, this will [...]

Canon C300: FCP X vs. XF Utility for Backup/Archive

By Jon Roemer On 4 Jul ’12 · Leave a Comment

Canon C300 footage requires that it remain in the same folder structure as the CompactFlash cards it was recorded on in order for it to be accessible to NLEs. You can work right off of a CF card but you are best served backing up the card first so that you have something to work [...]
