Filmshooting

I'm going to be shooting some tri-x soon, actually about 10 carts. I haven't shot any since they changed it a few years ago. I seem to remember reading that they decreased the grain and contrast on it when they changed it? What are the real differences? I really love everything I have shot with it ...

So I pulled my minty 6008s out of it's case for the first time in a couple of years and found it to be mal-functioning. It was perfect last time I used it and sadly now it is not. The plastic FPS knob has broken off and the switch... which I believe to be the culprit of the problem dropped inside ...

I have to admit, there really isn't much of a budget, the whole project went way over budget in recording costs. Crew, that depends on how much beer we can buy at the end of the day right. So this is more or less a call to Guerrilla filmakers, the ones that do what they do, and do it well, because ...

I am part of LA based indie project ala Joy Division, Depeche Mode, Cure, New Order etc. looking to shoot a music video on Super8. Unfortunately there is no pay, just experience, it's indie afterall. No really, we do have access to some equipment--- camera, editing, etc., but if you have your own ...

what machine vision cam are you using with your set-up? Sorry I know you've been working on the Hi-res telecine for a while so you may have mentioned it in other posts but I've been so busy I've probably missed them. And are you using this cam with a WP or home built system?

argh... the art-ray CMOS camera, I trid one out in november of 04, and at that time couldn't find anything to work well with it. It was a frustrating venture. It was the ARTCAM-200MI 2 megapixel version. I did eventually get it to capture with my WP by using the supplied capture software and a bnc ...

great looking video!! I love the green hue too! I have two questions, what kind of lights did you use in the car scenes? Looks like a light on his lap and next to him near the door. Where did you find the camera to use for the tap, and did you have to modify it? I've always wanted to build a video ...

I'm a little late to this discusion but will put my 2 cents in anyway. I have a G4 Sawtooth originally purchased in 1999, as a 350mhz machine. 2 years ago I upgraded the processor to a 1.4ghz chip(single) and 896 Ram as a interim until I bought a G5. It is running my ProTools HD rig with absolutely ...

I really like the look of that stock, I never really liked what I got from plus-x so I mainly used tri-x, did you push or pull when you processed it? It really reminds me of the old tri-x.

What did you use shake for, I have never used it but thought it was mainly for compositing? What ever you used ...

did any of u C64'ers play Bruce Lee... Now that was my all time favorite platform game.... it was cool how a mate could either be ur crappy sidekick or one of the bad dudes...

YES!!! Great game....spent hours upon hours one summer playing it on my Atari 800 till I finished it. I actually found a ...

Gotta love the retro games!! I still have all my original consoles and it all started with my Atari 2600 and all my many cartridges. Yes they all still work, sometimes you have to give a little nudge to 'em but that whips them back into shape. Have many old Computer games as well, talk about ...

I'm assuming you mean you are going to project the negative and then capture it as you are projecting it. If thats the case can't you just use the Invert plug in and then tweak the colors a little after it's captured? I've never done it but in theory it seems like it would work.

different hd formats have different ratios. many of them are square

do you know which of them are square? Are say 720P and 1080i square pixels??

What got me wondering is that if HD tv's and such are square pixels then those machine vision cameras with square pixels look really good if you are ...

Does anybody know if the PAL and NTSC Pixel aspect ratios carry over to HD? I'm able to play both formats just fine on my HD set so now I'm curious. I know that my scaler is taking care of the PAL-->>NTSC conversion, but it seems that with HD, pixels should be square since I've noticed all the HD ...

I'm not sure about this, but as far as I know the workprinter is the only transfer device were you can pullback and see the sprocket holes???

Anyway I was just watching the Pete Yorn video for "burrito" which has quite a bit of super8 and there is a shot in the middle where you can see the whole ...
