This has the makings of a great cinematic game night.

Can you identify a movie from a half dozen hand drawn icons? Sounds like a super fun challenge to me!

Hey everyone —

I've made it a point not to throw anything too technical your way (even though I consume this kind of stuff morning, noon and night). But this is just too cool not to share.

It's been talked about for years now, how with the increase in resolution of video that you can pull a still from a 2K or 4K camera  (there's now talk of 5K — whoa Nellie!) and it'll print as well as a medium format camera will.

I watched a video — probably a year ago — using a portrait session with Tina Fey as an example. To me it was pretty impressive. But this is downright A to the K.

It looks like we're just about there. At a price, of course. But we all know how technology works. Wait a year or three and every consumer's got access to the same gear in Prosumer format.

Read the article if you're a full fledged geek like me, but definitely watch the video. It's Epic!

Red Epic.

But I'm a director. Or am I?

I need a hat.

Thanks to Eugene, we no longer had to.
