Unsure what to give the film director / camera-person / video editor / TV fan in your life? Perhaps some Media Match ideas will help.

NTSC T-shirt

Beeeep. Geek is in! Share your love of the National Television System Committee color palette, vertical interval timecode and System M with the world! Ideal for a video editor, video engineer, assistant editor or all-round NTSC enthusiast.
(from $17 from Zazzle)

Vintage Camera

Add another dimention to a photographer’s artillery, and be prepared to lose them for a few days whilst they explore and experiment. There are many vintage cameras around, for all kinds of budgets, and the Polaroid J66 above comes all the way from 1961, complete with manual and case. Film is “Type 47, 3000 speed”.
($55 from Think Great Stuff)

Aspect Ratios Tote Bag

Express your x:y formats fandom with a 100% cotton canvas tote bag. Plenty of room to carry all your other aspect ratio related gear.
($14 from Cafe Press)

Camera Lens Thermos Mug

Perfect for photographers – imagine the look on their face when they realised you haven’t bought them a really expensive Canon/Nikon lens. That alone should be worth it, but wait… the fake lens cap doubles as a cookie holder? SOLD!
($29 from Daft Gadgets)

Director’s Alarm Clock

This LED clock is a petite movie slate for the director in your life. Monday morning, take 17! No, really, you shouldn’t snooze this alarm 17 times, there is lots of important Directing to do.
($30 from Urban Outfitters)

SDHC Memory Card

You can never have too much memory, or too many spare SDHC cards. These Transcend Class 10 cards can hod plenty of HD video, or stills, or both. Lifetime warranty.
($7 for 4Gb / $11 for 8Gb / $20 for 16Gb / $39 for 32 Gb from Amazon)

Editing-specific Keyboard for Final Cut Pro

Editing-specific keyboards offer flexibility and extra efficiency when working with editing software. This model, compatible with Final Cut Pro, has an integrated jog / shuttle controller, and extra USB and power ports for connecting an array of devices. Can also be used as a standard keyboard, and works for either Mac or PC FCP Editors.
($116 from Mac Mall)

Final Cut Pro X

You could splurge a little on one of the best pieces of editing software out there. The latest version of Final Cut offers brand new editing features and 64-bit performance, letting you be more creative and productive in post-production projects.
($299 from Apple)

Video of the Week

Max Hattler – Sync
Vimeo Visual Music Award 2011 Special Prize Winner
Sync “is based on the idea that there is an underlying unchanging synchronisation at the centre of everything; a sync that was decided at the very beginning of time. Everything follows from it, everything is ruled by it: all time, all physics, all life. And all animation.” (Max Hattler, 2011, ‘Sync: Circular Adventures in Animation’
