If 2 cameras are not enough for your production, try shooting with 50. Recently, I was watching a behind the scenes video of the new Hollywood film, “The Hobbit”. The thing that amazed me was the fact that in order for the film to be shot, 48 RED epic cameras were used. I started asking myself “Why RED?”, “What is it that makes these cameras better than the rest, and why choose them ?” . And that is why I want to share with you a brief review of the RED epic cameras and leave you to decide for yourself if it’s worth the price of 24 000$ !!! Continue reading
Control everything in a Hotel by a smart mobile phone
This is where new-tech is going. It is amazing, because we might have never imagined 5 or 10 years ago that when we go to a hotel, instead of receiving a key card, we will receive a smart phone.

Mobile phones & me!
Hey everyone!
This time I’m going to write about my experience with mobile phones. I’m not the best person to talk about technology, so I’ll skip that part and just talk about the use of mobile phones.
I had one which was actually very cool. It was smaller than my palm and it had a touch screen and a very easy menu to use. It didn’t have any crazy or fancy applications and the battery lasted for almost 5 days. I ‘d always forget where I had put the charger. Continue reading

“That Summer”
Ant1’s new television drama series called ‘That Summer’ started airing on TV this October. Its story is based on the tragic events that happened in Cyprus in 1974. Its aim seems to be to show people the pain, suffering and struggle the tragic events triggered throughout the life of a 7 year old girl that had to live through it and unfortunately was left without a father.

It is a very emotional series that awakens the past for many Cypriots that lived through those events but it also recreates events for many Cypriots who were not yet born when they actually happened.
