In Part I, Anthony and Mitch take us on a tour of the T-Bag, showing us the key features that allow for camera operation, cabling and controlling the temperature and humidity of the bag. They also demonstrate how the T-Bag accommodates a range of broadcast cameras such as the RED One or a Panasonic VariCam 3700.

2 options for faster H.264 encoding. Get a top of line fast computer, or an accelerator card.

Example:

New 2009 MacPro Two 2.93Ghz Quad core (Newhalem)

vs

Last year's 2008 MacPro Two 2.8Ghz Quad Core with Matrox CompressHD card.

Result:

Without clustering the 2009 MacPro's 16 cores, the older MacPro with the Matrox Max technology has better performance for the highest quality multipass encoding.

Hopefully, Matrox will make a Vimeo setting!

I really like the $400 JAG35 Pro depth of field adapter. I am testing it out on my Sony HDR-SR11 and the results speak for themselves. All of the audio was recorded off the SR11's camera mic while the JAG was vibrating! It is very quiet!

Total cost of the the camera, adapter and lens: $1,200. Just goes to show that you do not need to spend thousands to shoot sick looking video.

This adapter does have limitations and you should understand them all before you buy it. Please read my blog for detailed information about my first impressions.

This is a great adapter for those of you who own the small HD cameras and want a cheap way to get the "film look" on video. This adapter will not replace Letus adapters.

I am using a 5 micron ground glass and you can get more info on this adapter at jag35.com
