The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 is a unique compact digital camera offering photo enthusiasts the ideal way for capturing professional-quality photos and High Definition (HD) video. With an ultra-bright F2.0 ultra-wide-angle 24mm Leica DC Vario-Summicron lens, the Lumix LX5 minimizes image distortion, resulting in stunning, true-to-life images with outstanding resolution and detail.

Like its predecessor, the Lumix LX5 fea (more…)

Review

Francis Glebas has put together a really comprehensive and thought-provoking look at the art and craft of film making, specifically directing.

I can’t imagine anyone, in or out of our business, who won’t find any number of helpful ideas as they work their way through the filmmaking jungles!!- Roy Disney, Director Emeritus and consultant for The Walt Disney CompanyFrancis Glebas was one of our most talented storyboard artists at Disney, and it was our great fortune to have him on the story team. He has a wealth of experience to share.- Jeffrey Katzenberg, CEO, Dreamworks Animation
