    Welcome To The New CrumplePop.com

    Today we’re launching our new web site – we hope you like it. The goal was to make finding and previewing stuff a lot easier and more fun. We’re also doing some work to improve site performance for our friends in Europe. There should be noticeable speed improvements within the next week or so.

    We have some very interesting new tools on the way. Some of them are VERY different from what we have done in the past. We’re super excited to announce these, and we think that the new site will present them nicely.

    We’ll be fixing some (hopefully very minor) glitches with the site as we go, so if you see something that doesn’t seem to be working right, please shoot Sara an email at sara@crumplepop.com.

    Stay tuned for more announcements over the next few months!

    Surreal DSLR Footage From The Disaster In Japan

    by


    The Guardian’s Dan Chung recently posted this strangely cinematic video from the tsunami destruction in Japan. Using a slider and DSLR he captured footage of the tsunami’s aftermath. Its really striking to see high quality video of what’s really happening.

    I know some find the footage a bit disturbing and too cinematic. I think web video like this can compliment the stories being told online. The lack of a voice over really puts a focus on the visuals in front of you. They tell the story. Its one thing to hear to about what’s happening but another to see it so vividly (even if it is disturbing.)

    Check out Cinema 5D and Planet5D for more coverage of this video.

    Egyptian Protests Shot with 5DmkII

    Egypt Protest Cairo – Sky News from duncan sharp on Vimeo.


    Sky News posted a video of the Egyptian protests shot using a Canon 5D mark II. In comparison to most of the video we’ve seen of the protests shot on cell phones, this is very eye opening.

    DSLR News Shooter explained what gear the shooter used:

    I’ve been told it is a very basic kit being used: only a 5DmkII and 24-105mm IS lens, with no rig and no Z-finder. Audio was done using a Tascam DR-100 recorder and a Sennheiser mic.



    A pretty simple set up for a beyond intense subject to shoot.
