Sony EX1 Slow Motion Test from Joey Daoud on Vimeo. I know what’s been keeping you up at night. You’ve been wondering, if you have a Sony EX1, what settings get you the best looking slow motion: shooting 720 60p or 720 30p with S&Q at 60? Well, lose...

Dolphin Bay from Joey Daoud on Vimeo. A few weeks back when I went up to the film school to take pictures at their Gala, I was invited to tag along to go swimming with dolphins and film it. Um, awesome. Gabrielle has been swimming with this same pod off the coast of...

In the last post I mentioned all the exciting hubub about Typewriter taking off, and how I was (incorrectly) quoted and mentioned in The Observer (part of The Guardian). Well originally I thought the article was for one of their little online only blogs, some sort of...
