Outstanding. I now know what my next time lapse project will be! Thanks for the info, Audadvnc.

Oh, and thanks Davideo for referring to my link! I'm mighty proud of that one. I had to keep reframing the camera about every ten minutes to keep the moon in the frame, and keep it large enough to be ...

AND this not how one operates a rifle.

Fortunatly, as an American from Michigan, I have had the opportunity to use a rifle once or twice. :lol: I even own an 8mm Carabiner and a Mosin-Nagant rifle. While they are not exactly a Carcano, firing them does give one an idea of what to expect from a ...

It isn't the working of the bolt that is in question. It's the marksmanship of the shots in between each working of the bolt that is suspect.

Agreed. The bolt thing is just a lazy man's approach to the conspiracy theory. People have been able to re-create the assassination in pieces, and have ...

The JFK film is FICTION. The only accurate things are that it plays in Dallas and the President was murdered.

Following the debate after the release of the film, I've been suprised at how many of the details in the movie are taken directly from history. I'm not saying Stone's film should be ...

the truth may be right in front of us in either the official story or a conspiracy theory or parts of both, but because of all the noise mixed in with the facts

I think that's the most sensible statement on the Kennedy assassination I've ever heard. The problem seems to be in the "all or nothing ...

Saving Private Ryan? Veterans said it was what real wartime action was like but I don't know what was in it that wasn't in films like How I won the war or German 1960s Die Brücke already.

I would add that Louis Milestone's "All Quiet on The Western Front" is a very intense war film from 70 ...

Whoops, double post.

Funny, I was talking with a fellow Peckinpah fan the last week, and we quickly came to the topic of "Straw Dogs". We felt the same: a very powerful and interesting movie, we've each seen in once in its entirety, neither of us has been able to watch it again. Too intense.

I'd also have to put Peter ...

Quote:
I remember master Hitchcock's film Rope with the continuous 10 min long takes, what a difference compared to todays fast pace style edits.


Not really comparable, as Rope has always been an exception to normal editing standards.

It's one of the most extreme examples. I always think of ...

Quite funky idea. But there is no realtime tape speed, there´s only higher or lower speed = resolution, just as in film.

A better way of putting it is that there is a commercial standard tape speed. Film is generally 24 frames per second, cassette tape is 3.75 inches per second. You can ...

Question: how come did you not render directly into quicktime from Vegas? Also, what level of QT did you use (256, 512, 1MB)?

Simply put, I have an older version of Vegas with none of the extra plug-ins (including the mpeg plug in). It will only render the final product as an .AVI. Since I ...

Justin Lovell did the transfer for me (great work too) onto a miniDV tape at Frame Discreet. I firewired it into the computer from a Sony DV camera, edited in Vegas Video, and rendered as an .AVI file. To post it on the web, I loaded the rendered file into MGI Video Wave and converted it to a small ...

It's Kodachrome 40, no filter, 10 second intervals. The bulk of it was shot at f4.0. When the moon fully eclipsed, I opened up to F1.8 and locked the shutter open for 10 second long exposures, which burned red in the film (the "sun" at the end is actually the fully eclipsed moon still rising).

It ...

Shot this on my Nizo S800 in October 2004, about three days after my son Jacob was born.

I FINALLY got it transferred, uploaded into my computer and edited. Here is a small window version of the final product; about 60 seconds long. Enjoy and feel free to comment!

For the most part yes. Generally the variation between the projector framerate and the framerate of the video camera causes the captured image to flicker. If you have a variable speed projector, you can adjust the speed little by little until the flicker goes away, usually around 15fps ...
