Our pals Casey Warren and Danielle Krieger over at MINDCASTLE productions were lucky enough to get their hands on Canon’s latest camera, the EOS C300. The C300 has been all the rage these days (or the C300 versus the ‘insert-whichever-camera-you-fancy’). … Continue reading

If you’ve been following our blog then you’ve probably noticed a number of Nikon posts usually pertaining to rumors of a new DSLR body. More often these have been unconfirmed rumors and some have yet to come to fruition. Happily, … Continue reading
Cinevate was recently a proud sponsor of the Digi60 Film Festival in Ottawa. It was a bit of a unique sponsorship scenario for us because we loaned the festival an Atlas 10 camera slider several months ago for all the … Continue reading

A few short weeks ago we showed you a trailer and behind the scenes shots from the CBS/Showtime documentary “Game of Honor” shot by our pals over at Stillmotion. Further to that post a 30 minute special aired on CBS … Continue reading
The insanity of Black Friday has come and gone but that doesn’t mean we don’t have some wildly festive savings for you. But before I delve into those specifics, I just need to prelude with a quick comment/praise to all … Continue reading
There’s a been a few of these videos popping up online lately and the viral-like view counts suggest they’re worth sharing. This isn’t the first time Twixtor has made headlines, in fact, there’s plenty of Twixtor footage and tutorials online … Continue reading
Every time Stillmotion holds one of their Evolution Experience (EVO) workshops I can’t help but feel a bit envious of the attendees. Judging from the smiles on everyone’s faces in the photos it looks to be a blast. Even though … Continue reading
I’ll be the first to admit that a large portion of Cinevate’s line-up was designed with use for video in mind. It’s because of this that I sometimes forget that a lot of our gear is super effective for use … Continue reading
Now, I know that all the hype as of late has been around some serious heavy hitters from Canon and RED (of course, I’m referring to the Canon EOS C300 and the RED Scarlet) but like I said in our … Continue reading
November 24th is a frightening marker for some us – only 1 month ’til Christmas. If you’re like me than you hate shopping but love giving. I’ve sworn to do all of my shopping online this year and LensProToGo just … Continue reading
