I'm currently in pre production on a micro-budget feature film. We are shooting the film on 2 Canon 7D's. The problem I'm having at the moment is finding a good enough video take off for the director to watch and to playback takes. I used the EOS utility on my macbook pro on a previous shoot. This is good enough for viewing but unfortunately it doesn't allow playback. I'm looking for any suggestion for possible applications for mac or any other ideas for cheap ways to have live video and playback from the Canon 7D. I will appreciate any sort of suggestions. Many Thanks Darren Wertheim

Hey I am currently writing my thesis on the use of handheld camerawork and gritty looks that are used in film. I am currently concentraiting on 3 directors and the cinematographers that have used this style beautifuly in there films. Ajenandro Gonzalez Inarritu - Cinematographer Rodriego Prieto (Amorres Perros, 21 Grams, Babel) Rob Zombie - Cinematographer Phil Parmet (The Devil's Rejects) Paul Greengrass - Cinematographer Oliver Wood (Bloody Sunday, The Bourne Supremecy) I would really appreciate peoples opinions on this style. Personally I feel that in the right film it increases the emotional intensity 10 fold and allows the performer more space to move and be free with there performance. If any of the cinematographers that shot these movies could even say why they did it and how it effected their work, it would be much appreciated. Thanks Darren Wertheim
