Video with Polaroid

/4 Comments/in , , , /by

Last week Sharon and I visited a good friend and fellow photographer Pim van der Maden in his studio, which actually is very close to our studio (walking distance). Pim and I talked a few months ago about a large format Polaroid he still owned but hardly used anymore, I immediately got the idea that it would be cool to show you guys a small video in which Pim would explain how he worked with this camera.

When we started working with the camera the talk however soon became much more than just about the Polaroid, we just kept the camera rolling and decided we would edit it into a small “podcast” “interview on location” “instructional” video. And today you can see the video here on the blog. I hope you enjoy it, and even if you’re not into Polaroids (who isn’t ?) I think there are some very interesting things there that you can use in your own photography.

Many thanks to Emma, Pim and Sharon.

SmallHD monitor

Today a review/user opinion for the SmallHD DP4 monitor I’m using for my video work at the moment.

Although I’m mainly a photographer I love video, always have and always will probably.
When I started video it was mainly because I wanted something else than photography, I was raised in a family where photography and video were practice on every possible locations, my memories of my grandfather for example often included a camera (and light meter), but also video, they started using video very early on and so our family was also on of the first with a “real” Betamax recorder for home use.

 

So first of all it was not strange that I started with photography but also video.
When I started with video it was tape based (but already the smaller kind), capturing to the PC was all with FAST AV cards and it was SLOOOOOW, it was normal to render a night for a video to find out you did not like a look and start over again. Although I picked up photography again when digital became affordable (my first digital was a Kodak without memory card and half a megapixel) but I always kept filming.

Because there are so many questions about the light meter, we shot a small video covering the basics.
And actually everything you need to know I think to start using the meter.
