Filmshooting

Hey all, I just wanted to let you all know my film group's feature length Super-8 film finally has a teaser trailer ready: http://blip.tv/file/616051 Check out the site if you like the trailer: http://www.nientepeaches.com/ There's also a behind the scenes series!: http://www.nientepeaches.com/nbts ...

But I have tried that and wasn't too impressed with the clarity of the image. Ya that more what I meant that color. In terms of lighting and being clear most videotaps just aren't great for that, from my experience. Really just put anything in there but for editing the scenes together that early wi...

I'm less concerned about color. It could be black and white. I just want an istant copy of a scene so I can edit it and view that day. That I'll know how the shoot went before it gets processed. If we decide that the scene needs to be re-done I'd rather know ASAP than only to see it didn't work afte...

Is there any tutorial online that can show you how to make a video assist set up? It would really be something of use for my set. If I could record the feed and see the shhots before they are processed.

Yes, I had used DV before and thught it was lossy, but realized that it was actually the mic built in that was making it sound that way. Any reccomendations on mics? I have a boom that is meant for a camcorder, but I'm not too happy with it. I've heard some good things about Sony brands, but dunno i...

So when my film group does shoots we typically record direct to hard drive, but we'll be having some shoots that are a bit more mobile this spring. So I've decided that I'm going to go with Hi-MD for situations where we need to be moving a lot. It offers better quality than standard MD and is easier...

Interesting, how would I be able to adapt my camera to support those larger batteries?

So I was shooting with my Canon 514 XL the other day and it must have been 30 degrees F outside. I suppose I never really shot in the cold before, because I had found that my Camera began to run at 18fps for a few seconds and quickly slowed to a dead a stop. I was reading a post about faulty carts p...

Hello all, In preparation for Bonnut Film Studio's new feature length comedy (Niente: The Movie) shot entirely on Super-8mm, we're hosting a competition for all filmmakers out there. The objective is to create a 30-40 second webspot to promote the movie's web site. A site that features, webcomics, p...

Cool thank you

Hello all, I was hoping to learn more about the engineering of my cameras that way if there ever minor issues with the camera I could fix it myself and only send it out to get sericed when there is a really huge issue. And even when I do send it out, I'd like to understand enough of what's wrong to ...

Hey, Not sure if I've mentioned it before but my film group is working on a feature length Super-8 film. It's a sketch comedy. I just thought I'd post what euip we're using etc.: http://www.nientepeaches.com/tech Here's the main site: http://www.nientepeaches.com/ If there's anything left unanswered...

I took a look at the cokin, that looks like a good solution, thanks!

Right, that's what I'm looking for.

there's nothing wrong with minidisc and if you get a thin sound it's from the mic and its placement, it would probably have sounded similar on a nagra. the main difference between analog and digital is the compression that takes place on magnetic tape, while digital has a linear scale all the way u...
