Mike Jones Composer Sony Pictures Television

I own a decent amount of lenses and I use multiple focal lengths (16mm and 200mm) to achieve different results and looks in my pictures. I liked the idea of Lensbaby and it provides a different rendering/look for sure! The selling point for me was the price point to try and experiment with something out side the box. I bought the composer pro 2 with the sweet 50 optic. It gives you a central small circle of sharp focus and surrounds it with a radial blur. The build quality is a mix of metal and plastic, not super tough but it doesn't seem like it's going to fall apart either. This is a manual focus lens, which didn't scare me because I already own and use several manual focus lenses include Zeiss. After messing with it for only 30-60 mins I was not sure about it and didn't know if I liked it. I was not getting a lot of keepers. But I stuck with it and within a couple hours of messing with it, I figured out a couple of key things that makes it work great! You can't really tilt the composer pro 2 all the way to the edges, it will not get sharp really (shifted too far) the light meter in the camera gets tricked a little when you start bending the lens and you might need to adjust exposure. After a very short time I started to see what kind of cool abstract and fun things you can shoot with this lens and the effect it gives you! It's a lot of fun! I have shot a ton of pics with it and wow there's some awesome things you can go with it! It's really great at isolated your subject! And it gives almost all of its images a motion feel to them like they are moving! If you are ok with manual focus or are willing to practice doing it, this lens provides a very unique look and feel to your pictures!

Media Composer still wins over the newer options. The biggest plus in media composer is that the workflow makes you do a more professional job as other software where one is seduced into sloppy dragging and dropping and quick fixes. A benefit is also that for each step one wants to take there are many many options on how to get there, resulting in a very individual/artistic way of solving problems. Also the media composer and it file storage system is the most stable when compared.

If you're smarter than Quincy Jones, find something else. Otherwise, stop looking and hit the purchase button... Yes, it was the primary vocal mic used on the best selling album of all time. But for broadcasters, it's versatility is why you'll make this purchase. The clean, deep presence gives you so much assurance with your work it truly will make you better! Of course don't forget the bass rolloff/high gain switches on the back to get your mic ready for tweaking on the mixer board. ONE BIG THING: Buy a Cloudlifter cl-1 from B&H to give that initial 25 db gain right off the bat. I did, and it changed EVERYTHING. It is a dynamic mic, so phantom power won't fly with this bad boy. That's why the Cloudlifter is the KEY to this. Another thing: Believe it or not, it works awesome for your kick drum mic, too. This one means business. Stop reading and BUY IT :)

My Sony Bravia is the best, and my PlayStation. The best gaming system with best television how can you go wrong.

Sony is the best television great pitcher sports incredible motion picture very happy with my Sony thank you Sony for a great television.

I brought this TV almost a month ago now and I am sp pleased with it its my second Sony television in my house

I bought this cold shoe adapter to hold a shotgun mike and Lume Cube on my Sony ZV-E10. Works great and keeps accessories high enough off of the camera body so all controls are easy to reach.

I use the tripod with my Sony camcorder, attaching a shoe for a transistor and boom radio mike. As I travel, I needed a tripod that was both sturdy and light weight. I am very pleased with this one.
