I appreciate how you are always trying new technology, not just camera-wise, but blog/web app wise . . . this “live stream” sounds exciting and fun for all of us who “qualified” for prizes. I’m wondering how long we’ll have to respond to the award announcement? I’ll be on set all day tomorrow . . . and then out in Joshua Tree National Park starting Thursday eve. I will plan to check my email via iphone as obsessively as possible tomorrow, and certainly will have time to respond Wednesday eve/ Thursday morning. What time zone are you in these days Phil? I’m in PST (Los Angeles).
Anyhow, thanks for running such a generous contest, I’d be grateful for any of the prizes, and the CineSlider would be a fantastic addition to my kit, compatible with so many cameras! I shoot on all sorts of gear, and I own a 7D, so any of the DSLR stuff would also be much appreciated!

I’m relatively new to the whole Photography/Video DSLR Scene, but I was influenced and inspired to take it up because of this site. Seeing all of the things that are possible with these cameras (I now proudly own a 550D), It’s really amazing, and I have you to thank for that.

Hi, Philip
Have you ever tried the Canon WFT-E5A wireless file transmitter grip for the 7D? It says that it can interface with the EOS Utility Software and you can get full live view functionality while having control of up to ten cameras simultaniously. Sounds perfect for a DP or director doing a multicam shot. Don’t know if it works in movie-mode but it would be cool if you could find out!

Hey Philip!

I absolutely loved digging deep into your old posts to find the answers. The tricky ones were my favourite. Missed the live broadcast but glad to see I might get a free entry in one of your workshops .

I’m from London (Ontario) so its about a 9 hour drive so if you decide to do it, let me know when, might be a sweet road trip!

I’ve shot a handful of stuff on the 5D/7D/1D mark IV/T2i and the T1i so it’s been a blast seeing all the stuff you’ve been working on. Just beautiful work

Let me know if that workshop is happening,

Aaron

Hi, Philip
Have you ever tried the Canon WFT-E5A wireless file transmitter grip for the 7D? It says that it can interface with the EOS Utility Software and you can get full live view functionality while having control of up to ten cameras simultaniously. Sounds perfect for a DP or director doing a multicam shot. Don’t know if it works in movie-mode but it would be cool if you could find out!

Well done for making the 10 million – your blog is inspirational. Helped inspire me to shoot 3min character piece/mini-documentary on Canon 5D Mark II.

If you have the time or inclination please vote for my film “The Real Cinema Paradiso” in the DV Talent/BECTU shorts comp on Vimeo by liking it here – http://vimeo.com/groups/bectu/videos/11518464 Hope you enjoy the film.

Live winners announcement was a total buzz win or lose, wished I’d had a G&T to steady my nerves! Congrats again to you Phil, only started reading/watching your blog over the last couple of months but I’m already utterly addicted!

Hey Philip!

I absolutely loved digging deep into your old posts to find the answers. The tricky ones were my favourite. Missed the live broadcast but glad to see I might get a free entry in one of your workshops .

I’m from London (Ontario) so its about a 9 hour drive so if you decide to do it, let me know when, might be a sweet road trip!

I’ve shot a handful of stuff on the 5D/7D/1D mark IV/T2i and the T1i so it’s been a blast seeing all the stuff you’ve been working on. Just beautiful work

Let me know if that workshop is happening,

hi there,

just wondering on prize allocation….quite a few people seem to have won multiple prizes?

pbloom
June 3, 2010 at 09:28

i bundled smaller prizes together otherwise the draw would have gone on for hours. All the main prizes were one per person. One person had his name come out twice, second time was redraw.

I thought it was 1 prize per person, but I see winners who got 2 prizes… I am disappointed, as I have no money for that cineslider ahahah

June 3, 2010 at 09:26

all main prizes were one per person. I bundled smaller prizes like Cram/ FStop download into single prizes otherwise I would have been doing the draw all night!

Hey Philip.

Thanks for an amazing giveaway and an even more amazing blog!

I still can’t believe I won the Cineslider! I was just talking with a friend the day before about how I wish I could afford a slider/dolly. I never expected to win one! It was meant to be!!

The Cineslider is gunna pair nicely with my Canon 5D mkII and will certainly bring my projects to a whole new level. I can’t wait to try it!

Thanks Philip!
