So my Canon Ee-A Focusing Screen came in a few days before I expected, the company I got it from via ebay was by far one of the easiest to work with. Great business and fast times.

So with this in now just awaiting the rest of my stuff. This will be a long few weeks.

If your doing this project as well and your finding stores like B&H to be out of the screens then look up OhioOptics.

Cheers!

I've been working like crazy lately so not a lot of updates. Here's a overview ;)

Work:

So works been insane, lots of clients via Flosites and been really busy. I've had quite a few local clients as well, so going good on both ends.

Next few days...

I'll possibly be offline in the next few days or so, we have a hurricane headed this way and there is already watches out for the whole west coast of Florida. A few years back the entire city list power due to fallen trees at the local power plant and fallen tress throughout our areas, so its almost a given bad storm = no power. I have backup generators to power the house but most of the time when I loose power I loose internet and phone as well. So yeah thats what is going on if I'm not around.

Camera Rig:

So most of you know.. I think, that I did get my new camera in and my rig is slowly coming together when I have the extra funds that is. So overall update on it is its going pretty good, did some test shots however adaptor is taken apart right now to clean the GG of which got dust on it *sigh* so yeah outside of that its going pretty good.

So yeah nothing to new outside of all of this but thats really about it. Keep in mind when I have the time there will be some major changes around here, I'll leave you with that ;)

Last Wednesday while I was at a friends birthday I was showing some other friends the progress on my rig. While I was there I shot some test video. Below I've given a screenshot of that test video with the original raw colors and then 2 modified presets applied.

Over I think these turned out really well and look good.
