What a week, and it’s still going strong! We started off the morning with Jason and then headed to the Palace of Fine Arts with gorgeous models in tow draped in jewels from Haute Bride and designer gowns from Gabrielle’s Bridal. {Stay tuned for footage from the shootout} Philip Bloom has created another dazzling masterpiece capturing the tone of the week. He’s done so using the 7D in stills mode. The film below is shot entirely using still…. amazing!

It’s hard to believe that it’s already been a week since Re:Frame San Francisco ended.  We’ve been absolutely overwhelmed with the positive response to the event and would like to thank everyone that helped make RF:SF such a huge success.

First of all, thank you to our attendees: Some of you came from far and wide to attend Re:Frame and for many of you it was a repeat trip after having attended Re:Frame New Orleans, Re:Frame Austin, or both. For others Re:Frame was a new experience for you so we appreciate you putting your trust in us to put on a worthwhile educational event for you.  Thank you so much for spending 4 days with us laughing and learning.  It was such a rewarding experience for us to welcome you to The Clift and work with you to try and help you improve your businesses and your craft.  We look forward to seeing you at our next Re:Frame event.

To our presenters: Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to share your expertice.  You came from Moscow, NYC, Texas, Canada and even as far away as LA!  Our attendees truly appreciated hearing from you and the feedback from our attendee forms has been outstanding.  You helped make RF:SF a huge success!

Our presenters were: Oleg Kalyan, Kevin Shahinian, Joe Simon, Jason Magbanua, David Robin, Dennis Lennie, Philip Bloom, Jasmine Star, Leila Khalil, Alex Hill, Angela Desveaux, and Loyd Calomay

To our sponsors and press: Thank you for coming to San Francisco and showing your new gear and chatting with our attendees.  It’s always great for people to get hands on experience holding the products that you sell and having a representative there to explain things makes it all the better.  We realize it’s a big job setting up a booth and spending long hours at the show, but we really appreciate your support.

Our sponsors were: Canon, EventDV Magazine, Zacuto USA, SmugMug, Adobe, Glidecam, Red Giant, F-Stop Academy, and Americhip.

Our press were:  Scott Bourne from Photofocus , Ron Risman from Cameratown, and Syl Arena from Pixsylated

Thanks again everyone and we’re looking forward to seeing all of you at our next Re:Frame event. Below is a group pic at the shootout.  Until next time everyone!

Well it’s been a great conference so far and we’re really happy with the response from our wonderful attendees. Our speakers have also done a phenomenal job so everyone seems to be having a great time all around in San Francisco! Tonight it’s time to let loose a little and have some fun high up in the sky at the top of the Clift hotel. Re:Frame always has some sort of event night built into the conference and to fit with our theme of “modern luxury” nothing made more sense than the Spanish Suite at the Clift. Expect a lot of photos with backdrops of the city by the bay or timelapses later tonight, I’m sure.

Stay tuned for more updates throughout the week as the conference continues until Thursday.

We are pleased to announce that F-Stop Academy has now become a premium sponsor for Re:Frame San Francisco. Dedicated to helping shooters learn how to create the film look with their video camera, F-Stop promises to be a wealth of knowledge for all attendees coming to Re:Frame this October in San Francisco.

The Z-Finder is Zacuto’s DSLR Optical Viewfinder that allows DSLR cameras to have the correct form factor for video. It offers a 3x focusable magnification, a 40mm diameter lens, an eyecup preventing extraneous light leakage, and a field of view perfectly matched to LCD screens. The DSLR viewfinder is critical for precision focus on the shallow depth-of-field cameras. It consist of four parts; the mounting frame, the skirt with optics, the focusing knob and the eye cup. The mounting frame attaches to your camera LCD screen with a double sided adhesive. Once the frame is on the camera LCD screen, the Z-finder then snaps on the frame. The Z-finder can quickly be snapped on and snapped off, if you want to get your eye in the actual viewfinder.

Zacuto also added a lanyard hook option on the outside of the z-finder so you can attach a Zacuto lanyard to your Z-Finder. The lanyards allows you to quickly take the Z-Finder off but have it nearby to quickly put back on when needed. Also, don’t worry left eye people, the eye cup can rotate!

I’m really happy to share with you the premiere of a new show by Zacuto called “Critics”. It stars Zacuto owner Steve Weiss and Cinematographer, DP and Re:Frame presenter Philip Bloom as they “politely discuss” the differences and similarities they see when browsing online films. It’s a fresh new take on the concept of critiquing films and I’m looking forward to seeing more episodes down the line.

Here it is!
