Here’s how to alter reality—mess with perspective—by changing up your focal length!

Thanks for all the views on last week’s Indy Mogul videos! Here’s a follow-up to both the parody trailer, and hyperlapsing tutorial!

With a tripod, some chalk, and time, you too can hyperlapse!

Today’s episode covers some cool things I did this week: met “Bully” director Lee Hirsch, enjoyed the New Art Film Festival, and pre-ordered a fun new camera!

You asked how I built my camera backpack into an over-the-shoulder GoPro rig, so here it is!

Plus, the new FreeFly MoVI camera stabilizer, how Stereo D turned Jurassic Park 3D, and Blackmagic’s two new Cinema Cameras at NAB!

Inspired by a $700 product, I build a $4 DIY camera rig for no-handed shooting!

Think movie ratings are messed up? At least you didn’t have to make movies under the Hay’s Code (1934–1968)—no harsh language like “damn,” kissing in bed, or ridicule of the clergy.

I can finally sleep, after a long, but awesome week at the #SXSW Film Fest. Here’s a recap, including my favorite films!

Production tips I’ve been meaning to share for a while—How to Shoot Beautiful Wedding Films—just in time for Valentine’s Day!

What goes into a short zombie film? Storyboarding, makeup, snorricam, baseball bat, ADR, SFX, color grading, rotoscoping—I cover it all on today’s episode of Indy News!

I’m shooting a zombie video, so I thought I’d test out my friend Nick’s low-budget camera slider!

I didn’t know much about the upcoming Digital Bolex D16 camera, so I interviewed camera developers Joe Rubinstein and Elle Schneider—now I’m intrigued!

Let me share what I’ve learned about camera issues like moire (aliasing), rolling shutter and flange focal distance.

Got some new lenses, so I take them to a dark church to test out them out. 

Olympus 50-200mm f/2.8-3.5 (my heaviest lens—2 lbs.); Panasonic 14mm f/2.5 (my lightest lens—2 oz.); Canon FD 35-105mm f/3.5 (my bargain lens—$50!)

As we leave 2012, I sing my way through all 47 episodes of Indy News from the year!
