Welcome back! It's 2016

January 4, 2016

Welcome to a new year! Yes, I'm starting early this year. Why? Because I have project deadlines to make by the end of the month...that and I'm super lazy so I'll need a running start. How lazy you may ask? So lazy I'm recycling my Twitter pics to do my first blog update. Yes, I know. That's terrible. I have no values...

So anyway, here's to a great new year with plenty of things to get excited about.

But first, a quick dip in the pool. And then maybe a snack. Or lunch even...

Have a happy holiday and a prosperous 2016

December 3, 2015

And that's it for 2015, folks.

With the last projects done and delivered Match Frame Media is closing for the December holiday season. This year was...actually hard to describe. If you speak to anyone who runs a business (and by that I mean a real business where there are real risks and where a salary at the end of the month is not guaranteed) they'll tell you that it was a hard year. Economic, social and environmental conditions in South Africa are not rosy.

Fortunately the second half of the...

These have been turning out nicely recently...

December 2, 2015

I've been tweaking my encoding presets for 1080p files and the results are looking good. Basically the trick is to maintain the best possible picture quality while keeping file sizes from ballooning. Of course doing the basics right also helps, like proper lighting.

In production

December 1, 2015

Urban and social problems affect everyone, no matter where you live in South Africa.

I've just completed filming footage for a series of videos for a non-profit called Counselling@ in and around Mamelodi township and the greater Tshwane area. Counselling@ has been involved in community work and community development programmes since 2010 and is involved in the placement and training of counselors and the provision of counselling services to vulnerable and at-risk communities.

From their website...

October was multicam month

October 17, 2015

With no less than four multicam projects, October definitely qualifies for the title "multicam month". The ability to sync up three or four camera feeds and assemble a basic cut in a live switching-type fashion has always been one of my favourite features in Media Composer. It is also a MASSIVE timesaver, allowing me to do in realtime what would have taken hours to do manually. In 8.4 multicam is still going strong, even on my rapidly aging HP Elitebook.

I'm also really thrilled with the quali...

We've been busy in May, featuring at two of the North-West University's campus open days. Above is a shoot at the NWU Vaal Triangle Campus open day in Vanderbijlpark and below is a video/interactive presentation produced for the NWU School of Music and Conservatory at the Potchefstroom Campus.

I shall call him...Mini Me

April 1, 2015

I've been looking for a second camera for a while now. Initially I thought about getting a DSLR but really, my NEX-FS100 is already in that league as far as interchangeable lenses are concerned. Sony's ultra compact PXW-X70 fitted both the budget and the space available in my last empty Pelican 1500 case. What I wanted was something compact and cheap that I didn't mind throwing around in situations where I wanted to spare my pimped-out NEX-FS100. An old school zoom rocker would be nice and s...
