semi-OT Steve: that looks like a fantastic retrospective. 'No End' and 'Blind Chance' are perhaps is most underrated films. And many of the short subject docus I've been trying to see for a while (Before the Rally, I Was a Soldier). 'Personnel' (which apparently isn't showing?) is very interesting a...

This week we have had a Kieslowski retrospective at the North West Film Forum with old 35mm prints. Some of the films are not available on video so it is a very unique opportunity to get a chance to see some of the films. I have been seeing them every night this week. There is usually about 12 peop...

2-3 stops above total darkness? It also depends on your film speed... you're shooting B&W, right? A simple, bright flashlight might work quite well in that case. I used one to get some soft light on an actor's face in a 'night' scene (dusk, actually) shot on 250D and it looked fine.

Get a faster computer? I remember before I purchased a G3 (years and years ago) later-version-required Quicktime files would not play smoothly.

Nice work.. the first shot with the light bulbs reminds me of a part from something I did about 10 months ago:

Were you using a camera with a macro ring to get the rack focus effects?

I shot this timelapse with a Olympus E1 still camera
Amazing.. did you use some sort of controller/software? How did you achieve the slow zoom (done in post?)

compared to the work involved in getting great location sound it's nothing.
Not to mention that it's sometimes impossible to get good location sound...

sigh... why not do a little more accurate 'research' before posting this stuff? oh, one good thing about it is that it sells for only $7000 minus the lens. It's around $17,000 without lens... And as far as I know (also) there has not been a displayed working camera. And the sensor is outsourced, it'...

I agree with paul - I appreciate the idea of the contest since it did somewhat help me develop my idea, although it was not conceived within the contest guidelines. An extended deadline isn't a bad idea but it would have to be Feb. or March at the earliest to have an effect on my participation (when...

I'm bummed b/c I was really looking forward to participating. The good news is that the contest did provoke a project that will get made -- the bad news is that it'll probably be spring/summer of next year. Is there something strange going on here? I'm in about the same situation... I have an idea ...

No, that's been going on for a very long time (since the beginning of eBay, really). As the original poster quoted, it's apparently to prevent sleazy sellers from using the bid histories to find out what people are buying and offer fake items pitched to their own personal purchases.

It probably would, but whether your specific film will benefit is not certain. The stills look pretty good but it can always improve.

The picture quality looks pretty good (the frame line is off in some, as I'm sure you're aware of). Any clips in motion?
