Pretty happy with the camera’s performance.

If I read another mic review or listen to another comparison I think I’ll pass out. All our hard work researching has been worth it after hearing the TLM102 though.
A slight boost above 6 kHz provides for good vocal presence while below 6 kHz the frequency response is extremely linear for minimal coloration and a clearly defined bass range. The capsule has an elastic suspension for minimizing structure-borne noise, while an integrated pop screen in the grille aids in suppressing plosives in vocal and speech recording.
Along with selecting the right mic we have been sparing no expense in developing our voiceover booth and making sure the acoustic treatment is perfect. With aircon into the booth and easy talkback with the edit suite we have tried to create a comfortable environment for any VO talent.
Thanks again to the great team at Sound Techniques for the mic!
With the launch of our new website in 2014 we have integrated a fresh, secure client login page that is easy to view and lets you know details and updates on the project.
We have also just designed into the page colour coded edits for multiple videos, each video is surrounded by a coloured frame to let you know if the edit is complete or under review.
SmallHD add support for 3D LUTs in field monitors
Shooting flat has huge advantages; it preserves maximum information for post production. However, shooting like this can make monitoring more difficult. It can be tricky to gauge color and exposure. It can be difficult for critical focus and focus aids such as peaking also, as there’s less contrast in the frame to work with. It can also be disconcerting for an on-site client; having to constantly explain “it won’t look like this in post, honest”.
There’s a solution for this, LUT (look up tables). These are pre-defined profiles that are applied to the monitoring of a camera to give a representation of a corrected image or an image with a specific gamma curve. Creating a custom LUT is a step further; it can be an on-set tool providing with a representation of your final image….

First came the Blackmagic Camera now there’s another brand that enters the digital film revolution. The name is Axiom, a camera concept ready to be produced by Apertus, a brand that evolved around an open source camera project in 2006.

Today they are ready to produce a serious cinema camera to defeat the competition and make today’s digital filmmakers happy.
