contemporary pop-rockish jazzy soulful blues cat playing in a tasty palatable groove. His selection of players and producer alike offer evidence of the high caliber of artistry & industry professionalism Dana surrounds himself with.

Hail Mary - Pomplamoose VideoSong

Amazing Jazz singer songwriter (& native Mainer) Rebecca Martin keeps pointing to these guys on her facebook.

She knows a good thing when she hears it yet these the visuals are engaging as well as Nataly Dawn and Jack Conte aka

Pomplamoose

create this VideoSong

for which there are two rules;

1. What you see is what you hear (no lip-syncing for instruments or voice).

2. If you hear it, at some point you see it (no hidden sounds).

"Nocturne" (Canon EOS-1D Mark IV ) by Vincent Laforet on You Tube

Vincent Laforet Blog

Shot on the new Canon EOS-1D Mark IV

Shot in the evenings after their 'day jobs" & shot @ ISO 6400 with available light . For whatever reason Canon insisted on Mr. Laforet to pull it off of his Smug Mug HD version but not before it had significant views and downloads including this one. Interesting comments on Vincent Laforet's blog where he states

" Canon has requested that we take down “Nocturne.” As a professional courtesy I am going to honor their request until they can figure out things internally and our little film can be shown again in public. As some of you may remember this happened last year and all was fine a few days later. I’m sure they will be able to figure things out on their end and hope to be able to share the short with you again soon. The response so far has exceed that of “Reverie” both in terms of numbers and in terms of how fast it happened - something that I would never have expected."

Also from Vincent Laforet's Blog - " Lights Out Camera Action !

I orginally became aware of this project via twitter via

Stu Maschwitz's in depth ProLost Blog

(where it is still apparently up) All entries and lots of feedback

about the camera & the story of putting together this short film in 72 hours with certainly remarkable results.

Vincent Munier - Summer Variations - Nikon D3s (Video)

A remarkable series of captures, mostly video shot on the new Nikon D3s (about to be released on the market sometime in November) from a two week stint in Norway & Finland.

The Film by Vincent Munier & Edited by Laurent Joffrion is stunning, interestingly no 1080 on this cam but the results shot in 720p are none the less jaw dropping. Hat tip to planet5d.com ( @Planetmitch on twitter ).
