I think an Elephant sat on my Tenba case

This is the second time this year that a Tenba case has failed to protect my equipment. This time the case shows no damage at all, but what a nice surprise upon unpacking the gear in the hotel room. Thanks.

First time (Dallas to LAX) the Tenba case actually split. To Tenba’s credit they did replace my case, but swore they had never seen such a thing happen. Ha. Guess I’m jinxed cause my first damaged Tower looks just like this. Severely smashed handle.

This time I sent gear via FedEx to Portland in hopes they would be more gentle than the Airline Baggage gorillas, but guess not. (A claim has been filed with FedEx and we shall what happens) The computer appears to be functioning fine, but its value is obviously diminished. Can anyone say voided AppleCare?

Unfortunately if you really want to protect your stuff, it appears that Pelican hard cases are the only way to go. Bummer is that the Pelican for a Tower weighs 38 lbs EMPTY. Which means you are looking at near 100 lbs for your Tower in a case. Talk about a back breaker.

Deke McClelland is the Photoshop know-it-all and he isn’t afraid to admit it. In this video he recites 101 photoshop shortcuts that every tech should know. In all fairness and honesty, I probably only knew about 90 of them. So I learned something too!!!

Check out the music video here and watch him prove he’s a god while simultaneously making a big ass of himself. I love it.

Got it for the first time today. First time in 3 days that I have been shooting with the update. It has happened twice today. Shooting IIQ-S.

I’ve been Techin for Slashlight Studios in Soho at there new rental studio. Here’s a shot of the photograper http://www.fabricetrombert.com Shmoozin with the model.  The rental side of the SoHo studio is almost done and should be open soon there restaurant is already open it’s called eet.

Let’s face it: You’ve been spending too much time on set going cross-eyed staring at those Eizos. It’s summer, you know with that big yellow blob of warmth that we don’t get to see for half the year (unless you’re Eric I. on some damn beach somewhere). So we’re calling you out–that’s right you Tech’ers get your nerdy self over to Prospect Park this coming Saturday, June 28th at 12 noon for an afternoon of fun and frolic. Eric I’s on the grill, I’m mixing up all things nefarious and tasty, and good times are to be had for all. Enter our speedy Set Cart Setup contest, and everyone’s on deck for Digital Back Volleyball. Be on the lookout for prizes and giveaways from some of our favorite vendors. Honestly gang, if there’s one event to make this year, this is it. Details to follow, just put it on the calendar. In Red.

No excuses tolerated. Unless you have a gig. (This being a freelance world we understand that.)

Added a few great items to my kit today: a mini screwdriver kit and replaced my old Petzl headlamp.

Nevermind looking dorky, a headlamp is the only way to pack your stuff once its dark. You’ll never hold a flashlight with your teeth again.

Picked the screwdriver kit up at a local hardware store. Basically a jewelry/watch multi screwdriver. It had 10 slightly different phillips and stnd miniature screwdrivers.

Fits perfect with the little screws on the Leaf H1->RZ Adapter plate and all the other “shoot halting” miniature screws that happen to fall out when Paris Hilton is on set.

Some of you might have gotten the offer this week from Hasselblad offering the H3DII 31, a 31 megapixel kit – body, 80mm lens and the Back. While it sounds like a great deal, considering that the 1DS Mark III is priced at 8K and the comparable P30+ is priced at 19K for the back only, the obvious issue is that the back is only a square 33×44mm sensor and not anywhere near a 645 system. You can check out the system and the promotion here

Okay campers, today should be a happy one. Just in time for summer Phase has released C1 3.7.9 which supposedly gets rid of two really big pains in my butt: 1) No more black bars!!! (WooHoo!!! Confetti Please!!!) and 2) The default setup format is now IIQL, which arrived just not in time for me to be on set last week staring at slow, sideways captures before the dim lightbulb that is my brain suddenly went on. There are a few other things relating to Dslr’s, but the aforementioned items are what floats my mf digital boat. You can get it here:

www.phaseone.com/Content/Downloads/COforMac.aspx

Do yourself a favor and load this update along with your C1 prefs, printer and tablet drivers, custom profiles and commonly used apps onto a thumbdrive, and forego the frustration of being called onto a set that has C1 3.7.5 and they can’t figure out why the plus back won’t connect.

Now the proof is in the testing and real world application, but I’m glad Phase did get this out before the release of it solves it all C1 4.0, and really folks, an update that only took 4 months? I think it’s a new Phase record and hopefully a sign of responsiveness to come.

Between LC11.1 and it’s 2up previews, and now this from the Phase side, life is looking relatively good from the set cart. If any of you ever want to chime in with Phocus or Exposure please do.

“Fresh” installed 10.5.3 & C1 3.7.8 on a MBP Laptop this week.

I didn’t have any RLD errors but had what I consider now to be pretty normal buffer crashes on anything but IIQS. I did not double checking Prefs and ran into a strange error. Pink frames.

Actually sorta beautiful Modernist compositions, but not exactly we are looking for. Very similar to the black @#$@$!@!! frame processing errors, but with a flaming hot pink overlay instead of black.

In talking with a few buddies I found people who had seen this before but never really got to the bottom of it. There is probably the same answer buried in the Phase forum, but I opted to hammer on the gear instead of type. The pink frames were happening about 1-3 out of every 50-100 frames. Very sporadic.

I tested with multiple cables & all lens (thought maybe it was a shutter/sync thing) and then caught the preference RAW file type mis-selection. It was set to RAW 3.0 and not IIQ in the Preferences. Funny cause its greyed out once you select IIQ you can’t reselect 3.0.

To double check if RAW 3.0 was actually the installation default, I deleted all the plist files to revert C1 to its default install settings. In the preferences, RAW 3.0 is selected & is the installation default. I did the test again without changing it and I was able to get pink frames within 50 shots. Changed it to IIQ, and then I shot over 200 frames without a pinkie.

So if you ever see a pinkie, double check your RAW pref setting.
& if you are like me and feel like you are always installing software again, check ALL the preferences.

Can’t promise it will be your solution, but it was mine this time.
