Excerpt: A touching short movie about dogs and cats who haven’t been that lucky. Thousands of volunteers takes care of them in centers spread all over Spain. These images were shot in AAA – Marbella. Their hard work allows us the possibility to adopt. Great work people ! aaahelps.com. Needs mentioning that centers like “AAA”  live from donations. The local government only takes care of the electricity bill; luckily dogs don’t consume that much …. ! Shameful if you ask me. The movie was shot on our new Canon 5D MarkII and edited in Final Cut Studio. “Blondy” is my dog and she once lived…

Obtaining different depths of field can create dramatic, film-like effects that will take your productions to the next level. Rather than trying to describe the varying depths of field between different camera types, let’s explain it with a simplified chart.

Excerpt: We bought ourselves a new toy a little while ago and i thought would be interesting sharing it with you. This toy is called “Letus Extreme”. It is a 35mm adapter which we mount on our Sony EX1 High Definition camera. The purpose of this adapter is to create dramatic, film-like effects and it should take our productions to the next level. With it we bought a set of prime lenses; 180mm, 105mm, 50mm, and 28mm. With the help of the Letus35, we should now be able to achieve the same shallow Depth Of Field effects as a high-end 35mm film…

After the show i will give you some background info and…

Excerpt: Hailing from the Emerald Isle (Ireland) and now resident and living in Marbella, Southern Spain, Peter´s background is mainly Design for Print, although in recent times Web Design has tickled his interest, specifically Flash and CSS. He studied ¨Design for Print¨ in Cork Institute of Technology between 2000 and 2003 and barely a month after graduating, he was offered the opportunity to come and work in sunny Spain.
