This is a Beaulieu 4008 ZM 8mm film camera. I just saw someone selling one of these at an online auction, and I’m tempted to bid on it because how is this not the coolest film camera you’ve ever seen? Even if I’d never be able to shoot any 8mm film, it’s got to be handy to own it in case of alien invasion. You just know there’s gotta be a ray-gun setting on there somewhere.

“Inception” Sound for Film

This 6 minute profile of the sound production for the movie Inception is beyond fascinating.  It’s easy to watch a movie and appreciate the visual production, but the rich sound that makes any movie is easily overlooked.  The techniques used for capturing and layering audio for full impact of gun shots and dream-state explosions are incredible.

If you enjoyed this sound profile check out SoundWorks Collection similar profiles for SALT, Toy Story 3, Watchmen, Avatar, Where the Wild Things Are, and many others.

I have yet to see Inception, but it seems like this profile does not contain any spoilers—mostly clips I’ve already seen in the trailer.

Remember the Choose Your Own Adventure books as a kid?  Bank Run is like combining one of those book, with the production quality of an action movie, and an interactive game.  Interactive shop SilkTricky run by Chris Lund recently launched this site along with part II that’s playable as an iPhone game.
Go ahead.  Kill some time on this site.  It’s worth it.

Pedigree: Catch

Using a Phantom camera to capture the action at 1,000 fps, director Bob Purman films dogs jumping to catch Pedigree dog food.  The best part is watching the expressions on the dog’s face as they first see the food flying through the air.
