Last week I went to Las Vegas for the National Association of Broadcasters Conference. (Yeah, I know it sounds stuffy, but there are a lot of cool video companies and filmmakers that attend too.)
Somehow they manage to fill the entirety of all three halls in the convention center with gear and tech. SO MUCH VR.
My goal at NAB was to network with old friends, meet new ones, and share with you some new gear that you can use to make better videos.
Ultimately, we made seven videos at NAB and shot a review of the Canon 80D.
In this video I'll cover what S-Log video settings I recommend filming in, my experience using Canon EF lenses with the Metabones adapter, how some of the biggest problems with filming on this camera can be overcome, and whether I'd recommend someone switching to Sony or mirrorless cameras for making videos.
