@Stuart_Dennis @watchvideosoul I (fairly) recently bought a new on camera, not a desktop one so sadly can’t help on this occasion!

@watchvideosoul @madebyforward Hey mate, did you mention recently you’d just bought a new monitor/were planning to?

A rare occurrence of me being in front of the camera yesterday. Reunited with @madebyforward after six years, shooting a new interview about my work for @wextweets. Last one was for #MoreThanAnImage youtu.be/iNTkdy-hJvE. 🔴🟡🔵 📷 by @madebyforward

@Mikespins Yup, worked great!

@pjoy @Stuart_Dennis @AputureLighting The 600s are definitely not as portable (they’re in a wheeled case though which helps) personally, couldn’t work without the flexibility the power of the larger fixtures gives, but I’m transporting it all in a van/on carts so I’m not too bothered! Either way they’re all amazing!

@madebyforward @Stuart_Dennis @AputureLighting Thanks, yes the 600x looks great. I used a 300d ii last week for a series of 13 interviews and didn’t go above 20% power but bi colour would have been really useful hence considering the 300x. Portability also important.

I'm looking to upgrade my lighting kit. Looking strongly towards @AputureLighting 300x with a 60x for back fill, anybody else using this combination? Any other suggestions I should check out? Will be doing reviews of whatever I go for in the coming weeks. #Filmmaking #blog

@Stuart_Dennis @pjoy @AputureLighting Depends upon budget/usage but I’d seriously consider a 600D or X if no-colour is important as a key and then the 300 d/x as back/fill. Always find the extra power of the 600 useful in terms of diffusing or competing with daylight with the D

@pjoy @AputureLighting @madebyforward Thoughts?

@Stuart_Dennis Fun game! Sony EX1 > Canon 60D > Canon C100 MKI > Canon C300 MKII > Arri Amira 🎥

Camera Twitter: There’s some really interesting journeys here, get involved 🤓😎

Here's a look behind the scenes of last week's shoot with @RightTrack in Birmingham to promote their new Diversity and Inclusion training product. Was lovely to hear so many amazing stories throughout the day. Looking forward to sharing the finished edit soon!

@the_mzak Huge congrats mate! 🔥

Starting my dream job as an Assistant Editor on a feature tomorrow!

Great to see the Brand Film we created for @RightTrack earlier this year go live!

Tom's masterclass with @wextweets and @CanonUKandIE on creating Emotive Branded Content is live now on YouTube! youtube.com/watch?v=_iClAj… #WexAtHome

@watchvideosoul Yeah, I guess what I said applies to them too - easier to fit protective filters and relative cheapness of lens - the cost of a Master Prime vs a 70-200 for example

@watchvideosoul I’ve heard a lot of photographers in that field not using lens caps and relying on filters to ensure they don’t miss a shot. So I guess it’s probably because most stills lenses live with filters on (and are often many times cheaper) than their video equivalent.

Here’s a few Behind the Scenes shots from those projects; huge thanks to the cast & crew involved for helping bring them to life!

Our 2nd new film for @WellbeingNandW tells the story of 4 team members and explores the wide range of career opportunities available in the service: youtube.com/watch?v=enT9WX…

We were also delighted to produce 2 new films for @WellbeingNandW. The 1st, 'Reach Out’ was made to celebrate Mental Health Awareness Week and features a cast of famous faces from Norfolk, including @eadie11 @dannynobbs @josephballard and many more: youtube.com/watch?v=g9k-Gx…

Happy Monday everyone! After a busy few months of filming, we’ve got some new projects that have launched recently to share. First up, our latest film for @CanonEMEApro, which features DoP Peter Demetris getting to grips with their new XA45 Camcorder: youtube.com/watch?v=5Y9iTF…

@watchvideosoul My guess - they’re saving those colours for the inevitable 29 inch ‘Pro’ iMac coming later in the year, possibly with the M1X/M2 chip. Same colour scheme split with the iPhone 12 vs iPhone 12 Pro/Max having the darker more ‘pro’ colours.

@the_mzak @RobEFrost Do it! It’s really great, if only for Ted’s incredible one liners.

@RobEFrost Damn, I guess it's time for me to jump on the bandwagon too

Great to work with @eadie11 today at @NorwichCityFC filming a new promo for the NHS.
