Panasonic AF100 review – good but not freakin’ awesome
Maybe we’re hoping for too much these days. Does every new camera need to be AWESOME? Well, if you’re plunking down $10k or more for a kit, I think it should at least be pretty freaking nearly-awesome, don’t you?
Panasonic AF100
I checked out the new Panasonic AG-AF100 at a workshop in LA today. Overall response from the people was that it’s very nice, but not great. Not exciting. Not a “game changer.” Good for commercials, maybe TV and possibly an indie feature without dreams of big screen exhibition. SamysDV has a nice package with 5 Zeiss primes for under $10k. But will it meet your needs? Depends on what those needs are. Continue reading

Living Spaces: Old Sturbridge Village – TV pilot
Visit Old Sturbridge Village in Massachusetts, a living museum showing how people lived and worked in 1830s New England. Series pilot, hosted by Bill Fitzgerald and Peter Bohush.
This was a TV pilot produced by Bill Fitzgerald. I co-hosted and shot about half of it, while Bill shot the other half and edited it. Basically we would show up at an interesting cultural location, spend a little time learning about it, then turn the camera on and wing it.

ERA Realty recruiting video demo
This is a short corporate recruiting video I shot and edited several years ago for a real estate firm in Massachusetts.
