montreal long weekend
Well it's been six long years since I was last in Montreal, and I never realized how much I love it there!! We stayed at the same place my crew and I did back in 2000 when we went to that big party at Montreal Stadium in Westmount.
The stay was too short but I loved it non the less. The drive in was about 6-7 hours.
We did the urban tourist thing and thanks to my brother, recommended THE poutine place in Montreal called la banquis,a 24 hour joint that sells poutine and hamburgers. Montreal is the home of fast food, bagels and cafes/restaurants!
some piks I took!

PIXEL SHIFTING AND
UP-REZZING NOT SPOKEN HERE
Typical high-end HD camcorders have 2.1M pixel sensors and record with 3:1:1 color sub-sampled video at up to 30fps. We deliver 12M pixels at up to 60fps and record 12 bit native RAW, or 10 bit over-sampled HD your choice. That’s more than 5 times the amount of information available every second and a vastly superior recording quality. Don’t need all that data for your workflow? Dial it back, and keep all the other advantages of the Mysterium™ Super 35mm cine sized (24.4 x 13.7mm) sensor. You get the same breathtaking Depth of Field and selective focus as found in film cameras. Mysterium™ boasts a greater than 66db Signal to Noise Ratio thanks to its large 29 sq. micron pixels. And 12,065,000 pixels deliver resolution that can only be called Ultra High Definition.
RED ONE IS A MODULAR DESIGN
Shoot lightweight ENG style (body around 9 lbs., in rugged aluminum alloy) or load it up to shoot a feature film. Initial options will include RED-CAGE™ for mounting accessories and “growing” the camera body. Configure for tripod, crane or long lens applications. Onboard or external high-resolution RED monitors come equipped with advanced tools for framing, exposure and focus. The RED ONE™ camera has numerous stainless steel mounting points on the body to allow hundreds of optional RED and third party accessories... some that haven’t even been dreamed of yet.
MSRP of $17,500 for RED ONE™ camera.
Estimated to ship in Early 2007.
