  A possible workflow for the GoPro Hero4
  Some of you may recall some time ago I bought a Sony AS100VR for use in my work, primarily because I wanted the image stabilisation feature. Unfortunately I was not happy with the camera due to the severe fisheye distortion and the odd clumpy video

  RE: Film vs videotape
  Yeah, the acquisition of Cintel, probably at a bargain price since the backside had fallen out of their business, was one of the decisions made by Grant Petty of Blackmagic in line with his philosophy of drastically reducing the price of technology.
