I am moving. Moving into a new home, with three amazing friends. We've been planning this for some time and finally it happened. Finding the place was an adventure of its own, but I'm not going into that. The series of events I'm going to talk about starts this week. Sunday morning I got a call from …

Let's talk about the most accessible achromatic diopters in the market and how they stack up against more popular options. USEFUL LINKS: Look for SLR Magic's achromatic diopters on eBay Get SLR Magic's achromatic diopters on B&H Get SLR Magic's achromatic diopters on Adorama Download the full …
If you know Portuguese and have been following my adventures since last year you might remember snow and I don't get along too well. I think it's very pretty, seeing everything covered in white and whatnot, but not very pleasant for everyday life - important reminder: I'm from the warmest parts of …
Third episode of this series, now it's the Rangefinder's time to be carefully analyzed. Paired with the Kowa B&H anamorphic adapter, the Rangefinder turns this amazing double focus lens into single focus. I had a blast running around and shooting without worrying about constantly checking focus. …
I just finished watching the (possibly, maybe?) very last episode of Community, "Emotional Consequences of Broadcast Television", and for a comedy show, it made me cry from start to finish. Let's go back in time for a little bit. Community is a weird show. Weird in the best possible way. Created by …
I think I mentioned I'm working on a number of different projects at the same time recently and that involves getting feedback from different people regarding how they feel about the way the idea develops. Yesterday I got out of a call with the goal of "being more shocking, more creative, this is …
The second episode of the SLR Magic series goes over the bigger and heavier Anamorphot 2.0x-50, closer to a double focus system, it doesn't perform so well at fast apertures, which let me down a bit. The Rangefinder turns it into a much better lens, so keep an eye for next week's video! USEFUL …
I was drawing my plans for next year and started to think a good (better?) Anamorphic Guide might be something interesting to work on. EOSHD's guide is barely ok and now that I look at my own guide, it has its flaws plus there's a ton of things I learned AFTER writing it that could benefit future …
I mentioned it a few times in the videos and reviews, but didn't get to make an official post about the subject, so here it goes. A few months ago me and my friend Rob Bannister partnered up combining our arsenal of unusual gear (my anamorphics, russian primes and zeiss set, his anamorphics, Dog …
First episode of the SLR Magic series, starting with their debut anamorphic adapter, the 1.33x-50, I really enjoyed having this lens around and going out to shoot with it. I even went beyond the standard tests and shots just to get to know it better. If I didn't have too many Centuries, I'd …
You (more than) once said you liked me and I replied "I like you too, and maybe a little more than I should". I never got to explain, so here it goes. There couldn't be a better time for you to show up. Actually, scratch that, there couldn't possibly be a worse time for you to show up and that is …
É engraçado escrever sobre felicidade nesse momento da minha história. Sempre me considerei uma pessoa feliz, mas de uns tempos pra cá, acho que ela resolveu tirar férias e a vida ficou complicada pra caramba. Foi difícil do tipo "qual o objetivo disso tudo que eu to fazendo?", e faltava …
Fazer um filme é um puta desafio. Fazer um filme a dois então é um desafio muito maior. Tudo é dividido, todas as decisões são discutidas e o produto é resultado da combinação de duas cabeças completamente diferentes. Sei que muita gente já começou a fazer um filme e abandonou no meio. Chegar no fim …
