In reference to: My new lens and the Blackmagic...
@tarkoxvxsky It's working out quite well (knock on wood). I shot with it a few weeks ago for a professional gig and it went really well. The image is amazing to me. Very sharp. As for the SSD issue, yup, all of that has been resolved. I bought the SanDisk 240gb ssd and it has work great! Taking it out along with the 24-70 tomorrow morning for a morning shoot. Shooting all Raw tomorrow. I'm very excited.

Late Night with the Blackmagic Cinema Camera
Nine months ago I pre-ordered, along with many other people, the Blackmagic Cinema Camera. Last Friday it finally came! Before I received my camera I was proactive in ordering the proper accessories to use it once I got it, i.e., a new bnc cable, a SSD, a Voyager Q to read the SSD, a thunderbolt cable, and a new MacBook Pro Retina (also just needed it). The Switronix PB70-BMCC brick wasn’t...

Moving Time
As you can see, my original website, briantroy.net is gone and replaced by my blog here. One reason, I didn’t renew my wix account because I’m transition from Flash to HTML5. Another reason, it’s easier to update one site rather than multiple sites. So, having said that, I’ll be making more updates as I go along, hopefully finding the time to write a little more, share a...

Ladies and Gentlemen, I’m proud to share with you my latest short film, The Best Day Ever. There was a good amount of hard work, labor, and time put into the making of this film. With a $0 budget and little time, I’m very proud of this film and the cast and crew. I was able to work with a group of actors and crew members that most directors would dream of working with. I feel very...

To Festival or Not to Festival, that is the...
So here we are, just about mid July and the time to submit your shorts to many film festivals is upon us. The question I’ve been wrestling with and hopefully YOU can help me figure out is: is submitting your short film worth it anymore?
Let’s take a look at what we have at our fingertips as filmmakers today: Vimeo, YouTube, Video on Demand (VOD), Genero.tv, etc. All of these are...

There’s a small enchanting cafe around the corner from where I live. Philadelphia in general has loads of cafes that all do the same thing: brew delicious coffee. However, since living in Philadelphia, I found myself going to the High Point Cafe a lot. One major reason was that it’s right around the corner. So the accessibility of grabbing a good cup of coffee was always appealing. As...
Updates Uh Coming
Hey Everyone,
I’m starting to change things up a bit here on the blog. I figured, I had the default background for some time now and thought perhaps it’s time for a change. That being said, my website, www.briantroy.net will also be undergoing some changes. I’ll be taking it from a Flash format to a HTML5 format where it can be accessible on all devices, smartphone especially....

While working on the reality tv series, “Good, Better, Best”, I had the wonderful opportunity to meet a young and very talented musician named, Janelle McDermoth. She’s nineteen years old and sings in the very popular, a cappella group, Off the Beat for the University of Pennsylvania.
During our lunch breaks, Janelle and I talked about our passions, what we like to do, and...

I met Sarah Doheny through Twitter a while ago. You may have read her tweets from @styleprdiva. As our twitter relationship grew, I learned that she has been wanting to preserve/restore the small, reel to reel movie theater in Hamburg, PA, called, the Strand.
The Strand is a small, single screen movie house which is a thing of the past. Today we’re used to going to the multi-megaplex where...

About a month ago I approached Liam Gallagher, a local musician in Mt. Airy, PA. I had heard him play at the local micro brewery, Earth, Bread, & Brewery. His style, lyric quality, and vocals reminded me a little bit of, Damien Rice and Cold War Kids. Watching him and listening to his music, I had the idea of doing a video with him. I had never made a music video before, (although it’s...

Canon 5D3 Spec List →
I’m one of the many people who have been posting, blogging, tweeting, google’ing/awaiting for the announcement of the new Canon 5D Mark 3. If you haven’t read about it or have been living under a rock, check out Canon Rumors and the 5D3 spec list. It’s looking pretty cool.
