Click Image to watch Reverie, a short done with the all new Canon EOS 5D MKII. A DSLR that can record 1080 30p. Yeah. 30p. H264. Not Ideal for Filmmakers (the Shutter is 360 also) but if you do Stills than maybe it’s one for you.

To get to know more about it I’d like to send you to dpreview, but this are the Key Features:

Key Specifications:

* New 21.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor with improved EOS Integrated Cleaning System (E.I.C.S.)
* New Full HD 1080 resolution movie recording
* 3.9 frames per second continuous shooting
* High performance DIGIC 4 providing superb image quality
* Maximum 310 large JPEG images in a single burst with a UDMA card
* 3.0” VGA (920k dots) Clear View LCD
* ISO 100-6400 (expansion from 50 up to 25,600)
* 9 AF points + 6 Assist AF points

As I’m not that much into Stills and my Olympus E400 is way enough for me for this one I’ll wait for the all new Scarlet Specs instead.

I used ParticleIllusion a few years ago, as there was no After Effects for me. And it worked. Was a pain in the Ass, but it worked. Then there was After Effects with Particles. For Years.

Then there was 3.0.7 (their Website is Pain in the Ass too)

Now you are able to export to HD without Probs, the Emmiters are up to date automatic-style and man is this one fast. Rendering this Video os an Aurora on LSD took me about three minutes on my MacBook (without the Pro, the small one). Another three minutes for the Alpha based on the Particles. That’s fast.

Now a Plug-In for this one would be nice. Double click it to open the File and edit and rerender it. And inside it’s used as a normal Video. That would kick ass big time. But fix your website first wondertouch…

Well, it seems like they are Plug-ins for Wordpress, bbpress and Drupal and look like that:

They were imagined by John August and are there for posting perfectly styled excerpts from Screenplays on Wordpres-Pages, in the Comments, Forums or other sites. To get this upper thing there the “Code” would be:

If your Site feature screenplays you should really take a look at this one.

Just a short one, but worth a whole post.

On the Blog of the International Film School Sydney there is a really good article about what to look for if creating your DVD and Showreels. The PDF linked there is worth a download. I printed it and put it to my stuff, as I sometimes need to redo Reels for friends or clients and that are some solid “rules” in there
