This is an incredible short stumbled across recently. Bruce Branit’s “World Builder” short film is a impressive piece of storytelling. While it begins initially with a lot of technology, it is an impactful and rewarding human story that is one of the best short films I’ve come across for a few years. Enjoy!

Panasonic have just brought out a new video camera, nicknamed by some the “DSLR killer”. There seems to have recently been a craze for shallow depth of field (that cinematic look) and vibrant, HD images which a DSLR with a large sensor and interchangeable lenses is able to produce. However, they have  a lot of compromises, such as awful sound, shakey images and reduced recording times. The AG-AF101 seems to be the perfect compromise, offering all the pros of a prosumer video camera AND all the pros of a DSLR, without any of the cons. Sure, it might cost £3k more, and it may not be the most aesthetically pleasing camera ever, but goodness me the image quality it produces is nice… here’s a random video of some Japanese stuff to prove it:

A short film commissioned by Mother NY for Stella Artois. With so much disposable advertising being pumped at consumers it’s refreshing to see an agency showcase craft and tradition; but ultimately sad that such practices are dying out.

Strongly recommend going to see this – Matty boy is on top form! Popcorn + pic n mix + Damon = perfect Thursday evening ciney trip
