Giant fire ball in the sky April 14th 2010.

Did anyone else see this I missed it but heard about it and found this video.

• Huge fireball spotted Wednesday night in Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri
• National Weather Service got reports of sonic boom, houses and trees shaking
• No official cause determined, NWS says, but meteor shower was at its peak

I thought this was a cool video. What would happen to the world if it was attacked by 80's video games.

ARRI Alexa Camera Shoots Beautiful Video with Little Light

The Violin Maker from ARRI Channel on Vimeo.

The new ARRI Alexa, a $60,000 professional 2K camera, shows off its chops in this gorgeous footage of a violin maker at work. The amazing part? You're seeing the camera working with the light of two, 100W desk lamps.

The video itself was shot at 800 ISO, which has been described by DP Tom Faehrmann as "completely noise free." From the looks of this clip, he's not exaggerating. I'd blame any noticeable blemishes on Flash compression.

ARRI's bigger pitch with the Alexa, however, is the general ease of use. Get a better look at the hardware in these two promo vids:

MkII, that is.

THE PIXELS ARE COMING! THE PIXELS ARE COMING!

And they're pretty upset.





Love the homage to Frogger.
