This tutorial has over seven months now, but I've not seen it before, so I think it's worth sharing.
Peter Salvia presents an all-in-one video tutorial showing you how to cut, color, and compress video shot with the Canon EOS 5D Mark II Digital SLR using three Final Cut Studio 2 applications.

If you don't want to spend a fortune on a dolly system, then you should take a look at Eazy Dolly.
What's that? A portable, light weight system that can be used for any type of filming. Eazy Dolly comes standard with 12' of aluminum track. Hand crafted for durability and smooth tracking. Accommodates most standard tripods.

According to CNet, Apple will receive more space at CES from 4,000 square feet to 25,000 square feet.

t's called the iLounge Pavilion and will be an exhibition area for products related to the Mac, iPod, and iPhone. This year, for the first time, there will also be a section for applications for use on Apple products.
The original 4,000-square-foot space sold out within days of the announced availability to retailers, developers, and accessory makers looking to exhibit their wares and services, according to the CEA. That led to the decision to expand the floor space.
