129 GB of real FX5 material — 34 X-OCN clips shot in Mexico and Peru, with the Resolve project included. Free, from our own server. And I'm presenting it live at Semana AMC.
The ECM-W5 records a backup inside each mic and, on the FX5, puts 32-bit float audio straight into the video file (also on the a7R VI and a7 V with firmware 2.00 or later). Here are the full specs, what each function does and how it pairs with my FX5.
I use the Pyro Ultra, Pyro 7 and Pyro 5 to get the camera feed to the 1st AC when we're on a crane, to script and to the director. Here are the full specs and functions of all three, and how I combine them on set.
Higgsfield's free Blender plugin connects Claude, 3D models and Seedance 2.5 in one pipeline. You record the camera move with your iPhone and the video comes out with that operating. No more crossing your fingers over a prompt.
Google's video model inside Higgsfield rebuilds your shot around what you ask for — no roto, no tracking, no green screen — and Nano Banana 2 Lite makes the references for under 50 centavos an image. What I use it for, and what I don't.
Video-to-video that keeps your camera, light, grain and cut, and changes only what you ask. I tested it on my own FX5 footage: a jacket, the weather, race cars and tattoos. This doesn't look fake anymore.
A month ago I wrote that 720p wasn't for professional work. 1080p landed on Higgsfield and I compared it against Seedance 2.0 with my own generations: skin texture, focus that arrives late like a real focus puller, and 135 credits for 15 seconds.
My complete workflow for Seedance 2.5 on Higgsfield: turnarounds in GPT Image 2, a prompt system trained on your project, extend video shot by shot, and what happens when the model over-directs.
A brand-new stacked 5K sensor, 3:2 Open Gate and internal X-OCN RAW. Tech that until yesterday lived in VENICE, in a body barely bigger than an FX3. I've been shooting with it — here's the full breakdown.
A week with the Hook Generator in Higgsfield's Marketing Studio. How useful it actually is for creators and brands, and what happens when you ask it for volume without losing your voice.
Higgsfield Canvas as a previs tool: how to chain moodboard, art direction and final render without the DP giving up creative control at any step.
Connecting Higgsfield to Claude via MCP. What gets unlocked for audiovisual production when the model can orchestrate tools instead of just generating.
Sony sube la apuesta: sensor estacionado de 66.8 MP, ráfagas a 30 fps, video 8K y un modo de 266 MP asistido por IA. Lo que cambia en producción real para fotógrafos híbridos.
From brief to delivery with Higgsfield Marketing Studio. The step-by-step workflow for producing an AI commercial without losing the craft: when the model helps and when it gets in the way.
El panorama de estudiar cine hoy desde LATAM: qué siguen aportando las escuelas, qué se aprende solo y qué cambió con la IA en el aula.
El nuevo Spotlight Mount II de Aputure a 36°: cómo se comporta en set, cuándo justifica el peso y cuándo prefieres un Source Four. Notas de un DP que lo usa de verdad.
How to bring ARRI Film Lab into DaVinci Resolve with Sony S-Log3 footage. A technical, end-to-end workflow that goes beyond any LUT: grain, halation, REM-JET and a scene-referred pipeline, step by step.
Netflix releases VOID, its AI model for audiovisual production, as open source. What it means for independent creators and how to bring it into your filmmaking pipeline.
Seedance 2.0 comes back at a price that redraws the AI video map. How it fits into Higgsfield and what it means for small productions in LATAM.
Seedance 2.0 puesto a prueba en un flujo real. Qué hace bien, dónde aún se cae y cómo armar un workflow que aproveche sus fortalezas sin pelearte con sus límites.

Adobe Premiere Pro's AI-driven generative tool lets you extend shots, smooth transitions and fix mistakes, giving editors a creative, efficient way to improve narratives and solve problems in post.
Overheating is a common challenge on long recordings, but with thermal settings and strategies like external fans or better ventilation, Sony Alpha cameras can significantly extend their recording times, proving their capability even in demanding conditions.
The Sony Alpha 1 II redefines the standard for hybrid cameras, combining 50-megapixel stills, 8K RAW recording, AI-driven autofocus and advanced stabilization — ideal for professional projects that demand exceptional quality in photo and video at the same time.
The Sony FE 28-70mm F2 GM redefines what a zoom lens can offer. With its constant F2 aperture, this full-frame lens combines the versatility of a zoom with the brightness and signature defocus of primes — an ideal tool for photographers and filmmakers after top performance in a light body.
Compact but powerful, the Sony ZV-E10 II combines 4K 60fps recording, 10-bit 4:2:2 encoding, advanced autofocus and stabilization — an ideal option for bloggers, podcasters and emerging filmmakers after professional quality in a portable body.
