Misfits – A new collaborator

vnguyen972 — Mon, 16 May 2011 07:24:41 +0000

Earlier in January 2011, I have a new collaborator with Fifth Floor Pictures here locally in Dallas. They wanted to get together and shoot quickly a short. It was part of a learning process and also a new opportunity to work with more people in the industry locally. I brought my 7D and helped shooting it. Check it out.

So I have some free time and create an application for Android. It’s still at an early stage but the goal is to have it on your phone to access our information a bit easier

As starter, it only has all of our films listed… will be working to add more into it… be patient!

Here are couple of screenshots:

Enjoy and let me know if there’s any issue.
Thanks.

BetrayalFest Entry

vnguyen972 — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 21:36:34 +0000

We’re thinking of participating DVXUser.com upcoming online festival, BetrayalFest.

We have once again collaborated with an awesome writer on the board, but this time, it’s a different writer who was kind to offer his service to members. His name is Chris Keaton.
I like the theme and I have a story in mind, so I discussed it with Chris and within a few days, he came up with an awesome screenplay. I feel the screenplay is challenge enough so that we could also learn something new while doing it. The working title is “Taking Advantage”.
I’m in talk with another buddy of mine. He also has another short script that fits the theme. Who knows, we might be doing that one too. LOL. Stay tune!

Canon EOS 7D Hype!

vnguyen972 — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 00:42:04 +0000

So Canon just released its new HDSLR camera EOS 7D with all of its glory. Multiple frame rates (24p,30p,60p..) and full HD 1080p. It has S35 sized sensor which is close to 35mm film (not still) camera sensor. This is a big improvement on HDSLR for independent filmmakers. A dream piece of equipment that is capable in lowlight and light weight.

Canon has delivered the first batch (body only) and people are rushing to buy one. I have been wanting a HDSLR for a while since the 5D Mark II came out, then the Panasonic GH1… but I didn’t make any move yet, I was kinda waiting for something else coming out with better feature. This 7D isn’t much better than 5D Mark II but it has features that a filmmaker like myself would find very useful. I have put in a pre-order on Amazon 2 weeks or so ago… so we’ll see what it really promises when we got one… Meanwhile, check out this beautiful short shot with this camera:
