Universal Cable Productions’ Covert Affairs simulates Caracas, Venezuela from Toronto, Canada In episode 3 of Covert Affairs, Universal Cable Productions simulated Caracas, the capital city of the South American country of Venezuela, both visually and linguistically (at least they attempted the latter).

Sony’s 1st response to HDSLRs, its segregated progressive policy, & implications for users
Will people from 60Hz countries be again tempted to import 50Hz model cameras to shoot in 25p? As first covered here in ProVideo Coalition by Matt Jeppsen, Sony has just announced the NEX-VG10 as a first response to HDSLRs which have been used for HD video productions for quite a while already, despite their well known [...]

Now the Lumix GH1 can record 50mb/s MJPEG or 32mb/s AVCHD! I first wrote about the Lumix GH1 in March 2009, and at that time, I requested a review unit from Panasonic. Then in June 2009, I wrote a followup article with a written interview with Panasonic’s PR department, to clarify several technical issues. Unfortunately, [...]
Does Premiere CS5 achieve the “impossible dream” for critical evaluation monitoring?

The exodus from Final Cut Pro to Adobe Premiere CS5 has begun
Adobe’s power and market share increases while Flash wanes On April 5th, 2010, I published the article Will Adobe’s new Mercury technology provoke a sudden exodus from Final Cut Pro to CS5?. At that point, the title was still a question. Since then, NAB 2010 came and went without a word from Apple regarding the potential [...]
Microsoft diplomatically backs Apple & Google’s position, favoring HTML5 and H.264
From my perspective, the issue began back in 2008, when I was inspired to write an article called Encoding web video in the age of the iPhone. Now, the situation has become as suspenseful as the final chapters of a Latin American telenovela. On April 5th, 2010, I published Tépper is glad that the iPad doesn’t support Flash. [...]
