My cable secret... monoprice.com
Sunday, June 7, 2009 at 11:45PM Earlier today Philip Bloom posted about affordable monitors for the 5D, not quite as nice as the TV Logic monitor I posted about a couple of days ago but certainly a lot cheaper. But you can never forget your cables.
For awhile now I've been buying all my cables from monoprice.com. Monoprice is an amazing resource. Have you ever had the mooks at Best Buy try to sell you an HDMI cable for $120... how TOTALLY crazy do you have to be to pay that kind of money for a cable. Recently I installed an HDTV and needed to hook it up to several HDMI sources... I went to monoprice.com and was able to by 10' HDMI to HDMI cables in various colors for $4.74 each.
Now... back to the 5D... if you want to hook up an on board monitor you will need an HDMI-mini to HDMI.
Philip recommended a 6' cable for $15 from B&H. However, you probably don't need a 6' cable. How about a 3' HDMI-mini to HDMI from monoprice.com for $4.05 and while you're at it buy 2 and get a price break for $3.71 each and have a spare in your bag.
At any rate... definately check out www.monoprice.com, an amazing resource.
5DMK2 Music Video... Quilted People freak me out!
Saturday, June 6, 2009 at 7:50AM wemakemusic* - Dance with a Statue from Sebastian Woeber on Vimeo.
Found this one on cinema5d.com. Interesting idea this weird club full of quilted people and dancers, they freak me out but the LIGHTING in this is great. I love it when the lights are static and end up playing a part in the full piece. So much more interesting. I'm not crazy about the song... I spent half the time watching it wondering if any thing that wasupholsteredin my house was going to come to life and attack me.
And face it, who doesn't like a music video featuring a Shure 55SH?
