There’s a new social networking website for editors called posteditors.com. It describes itself as “The Facebook for editors.”

If you’re done reading Kendal Miller’s article about camera reports then you can grab a pdf camera report geared toward shooting on the RED One. And speaking of FreshDV and assistant camera duties, if you haven’t read Matthew Jeppsen’s Weary AC Rant then click here.
