New MacPro Nehalem and 10To Raid5 Array

overview
I bought a dual 2GHz Powermac G5 when it first came out, almost 6 years ago. I never had a problem with it. It’s still working as a charme. But, when you’re working with HD footage, it gets a real pain !

One of my best friend always tell me : « buy, don’t wait ». But I chosed to wait a little bit for the new Macpro Nehalem. And it finaly happened : http://www.apple.com/macpro/

Apocalypse Now

This is my short for BloomFest 3.
Shot on EX1 + SGBlade and Nikon lenses.
This is a narrative movie with some references to well known movies. Depending on you knowledge, you may find some of Apocalypse Now, some of The Big Lebowski and a quick one of Kill Bill.
WOW !!

Apocalypse Carpet

We had a prety short time to shoot, cut and upload as the SGBlade just arrived two weeks ago !
Shot in one short afternoon, inside, with one source light only. Cut and graded (sort of) in one afternoon too (FinalCut + Magic Bullet Looks).

I want to thank my team, Matthieu, Cywil, Jean-marc , Libertad and Mouchette (my cat) for the help they provided. Film was co-written by Matthieu, Jean-marc and me.
Camera operators are Jean-marc and me + one shot from Cywil.
Libertad was the sceen designer.
Hope you’ll enjoy it.

Waiting for « Secteur 13, Niveau 2″

Yes, the movie is still in the pipe… We are waiting (or I am ?) for my new Mac to be able to finish few things and get back to work !
In the meantime, Pytou did some real good work on the visuals :
