I’m researching helicopter production quality… and it looks like there are two players that I have found so far. Let the research continue.

New Camera in Hand

[iDevice Link] <— 2,568

Upon reading (YouTubing) up on my new Canon SD4500 IS I am finding there are some interesting new features.

  1. This miniature effect shown above just makes me laugh.
  2. The super slow motion looks intriguingly slow (here and here)
  3. It has a goofed up 24fps 1080p mode (deadly)
  4. 10x optical zoom – titties! (here)

I can’t wait to test this beast out at the C Lazy U Ranch tomorrow in Granby, Colorado.

New iPods + iTunes + Apple TVs + Coldplay

Apple just announced an entirely new iPod lineup, iTunes 10 and a little black box known as a new Apple TV.

iPhone App of the Week

iPhone app of the week = You Gotta See This! – Boinx Software

The app creates collages of images that you take by slowly moving the camera around in 3D space. The resulting images are somewhat similar to what is called “panography” or “Hockneyesque” (after the artist David Hockney).

I’ve been following the development and awaited release of this app for a couple weeks – now it is good to finally have it available.

2009 Media Elements

In 2009 I averaged just over 69 captured media elements a day which is directly on par with the last three years.

I shot 9,582 videos and 14,304 photos on the canon. 1,421 came from the iPhone which is no longer a daily pocket device for me.

Space Chair

Toshiba is speaking a new language… and you will see this advertisement across their entire product line (TVs, Laptops and Cameras). I like the concept but Grey London lacks the inspiration on the making of video… its actually pathetic.

Almost Genius.
a) YouTube representation is weak.
b) The making of video is weak.
c) www.thechairproject.com isn’t what I expected.
