Longboarding at Goat Hill filmed by Mammoth Media using a Nikon D90. The vintage grading is perfect.
Khalid Mohtaseb shot and graded this footage in his spare time while on assignment in Haiti following last month’s earthquake. He used a Canon 5D2 and Kessler Pocket Dolly, and all footage was shot in natural light. Stunning. (via Zach Klein)
This promotional film by Charles and Ray Eames includes a detailed look at the internals of Polaroid’s SX-70 camera, including its lens assembly and the mechanical operation that follows each shutter press. The style, framing and voiceover are all impeccable. (via Pat Dryburgh)

Saman Keshavarz directs this visually arresting if bleak video for Cinnamon Chasers’ “Luv Deluxe”. It’s shot in the first-person, like that famous Prodigy video, using a face-mounted Canon 5D2.
Ckck:
This is a Canon Demi C, a half-frame viewfinder camera from 1965. In addition to shooting 35mm at half-frame (giving you 72 shots from a 36-shot roll), it is an uncommon camera in that it comes with two interchangeable lenses unique to this camera. There’s a 28mm ƒ/2.8 lens, and a 50mm ƒ/2.8 (attached), which behave as 50mm and 75mm lenses, respectively, on this camera. The lightmeter on it works, but I haven’t tried it out yet.
Ckck (last moon post, probably):
The Hasselblad EDC (Electric Data Camera) was a specially designed camera intended for use on the surface of the moon, where the first lunar pictures were taken on July 20th, 1969 by Neil Armstrong. The camera was equipped with a specially designed Biogon lens with a focal length of 60 mm, with a polarization filter mounted on the lens. A glass plate (Reseau-Plate), provided with reference crosses which were recorded on the film during exposure, was in contact with the film, and these crosses can be seen on all the pictures taken on the moon from 1969 to 1972. The 12 HEDC cameras used on the surface of the moon were left there. Only the film magazines were brought back.
