New Product Video ~ Zacuto’s Z-Grip iPhone Cinema Kit
Steve Weiss and Jens Bogehegn introduce the next big thing for iPhone Video Shooters with the new Zacuto Z-grip iPhone Cinema Kit. Perfect for iPhone users shooting video, the new handgrip gives a stable point of contact and the articulating arm adds more adjustability. The Kit includes: Zacuto Z-grip iPhone Pro with Articulating Arm to hold the Z-Finder Pro viewfinder. (Note: Z-Finder Pro NOT included). A perfect addition to the kit is Zacuto’s Z-finder Pro which gives you an additional point of contact for even more stability by placing your eye in the viewfinder. The Z-Finder also shades out any light and helps with focusing on the iPhone LCD. Most important, the Z-Finder can quickly be articulated away from the LCD screen by manipulating the articulating arm.

So You Wanna Be a Filmmaker – Part Deux by Ron Dawson
A couple of months ago, in part 1 of this story, I talked about how an aspiring filmmaker can be both financially and artistically fulfilled pursuing a career as a wedding and event filmmaker. Today I’d like to explore two options you can take in that direction.
CONTRACTOR VS. STUDIO
One of the most important decisions you’ll want to make when getting started is if you want to primarily work as a "gun for hire" (i.e. a subcontractor), or if you want to grow your own studio. When I say "studio," that doesn’t necessarily mean a physical location with high ceilings, rows of editing bays, and a CYC wall. I just mean a company that will solicit business directly from clients, as opposed to shooting and/or editing for someone else.
Steve's Picks
MOMENTOS By Nuno Rocha
People have been asking me why it has been so long since I’ve added a “Steve’s Pick” and the reason is mainly because I didn’t see anything that grabbed me. Susan sent me this video and I was immediately sucked in with its look, sound design, camera movement and screen direction but most importantly, its wonderful touching story. Things have changed for me in the past few months: I’ve watched enough tests in this new revolution and now I want stories. MOMENTOS by Nuno Rocha is a charming, touching story told with no words. Softly & wonderfully told to the perfect length and proper story and character arcs. My only critique would be at the end of the video it would have been nice to hear one line, for instance, the daughter saying: "I love you Dad." In a silent film, that would have had a nice shock to the viewer. Just one man’s opinion. Well done Nuno, you told a wonderful story and made the equipment irrelevant. That’s filmmaking. ~ Steve
