BTW, clip plays fine on a very conservative 1,5mhz notebook without any additional extras.

that's impressive 8O I should get a job at those folks, and sneak in a product with some neat options into the portfolio! I quit as soon as i have the first prototype *g* These sanyos have a lot of potential, here's my wishlist for a perfect one - at least for me: - variable framerate 1-60 fps what ...

Twice? I hope you won't take over from ibenedeti *lol* I will have to buy one for myself, these ZC1000 seem to be addictive

Those beaulieus really split up the crowd! And the tool metaphor is valid. Imagine a cab driver - would he skip maintenance of his car, and risk to lose customers because it breaks down? We all know that having a car serviced costs a lot of money, yet everbody is happily dragging their cars to the g...

with the end of k40, i consider the price differences between single and super tolerable. Single is better, of course - without any question. In real life however it boils down to having two more filmstocks when you shoot 8mm, the 200 and 25 fuji reversals, and there is a b/w stock available from re...

not always, only when the shutter is open when the camera stops (what is the case 99% )

Why should that affect editing?

As such, you collect their money in exchange for providing a product they like, whether their tastes are to your own perticular liking. Getting "artsy", not providing the product they expected, but still taking their money, now that's disrespect. Brr, no artsy films please. I once was for...

Of course not, but a valid work of art does not *need* to be entertaining, in any medium. A valid work of art is entertaining by definition. I've yet to encounter a valid work of art that is not entertaining. Anybody who claims to be bored sitting through Tirso de Molina's Don Juan deserves to be k...

Evan, thanks for sharing. This one is my absolute favourite, expressing something I always had in mind in some way.

The director's principal job is to entertain? Who said that? I certainly don't agree. Isn't this a very valid point? While of course we would need e.g. to separate documentaries from fiction, I insist that if someone choses to make a movie - or write a novel, or poem, or whatsoever - he steps on th...

Unlike painting, sculpture or photography, cinema has a clear and traceable lineage: It was invented for the entertainment of the masses and exists to make money. This is the difference between movies and traditional arts: the intended audience. Movies are made for the masses (sounds like back in t...

The structure was weak in the sense that it felt like a series of loosely-connected vignettes rather than a coherent, compelling narrative ... and none of the characters were in a different state than nearly three hours earlier ... Instead, I got a muddy, contradictory mess Without actually having ...

fcp 5 might, but fcp 3 is a solid alternative, and you can buy it used for a couple of hundred dollars. Very good idea. Hate to admit that this wasn't my idea :D But actually this makes a lot of sense. I recall to have read in a book ( from ca. 2000) a chapter about editing on a computer, showing a...

actually this is pretty weird, I traded in an old compaq notebook for an older G3 powerbook (this was not my intention, but things ended that way). I was tired of the notebook, it seemed to slow down more day by day. I used a 2 processor workstation for "real" work, like editing, photoshop...

6 years is out of reason, especially considering that tourists, like they usually do everywhere, are allowed to stampede through there. However the dude obviously gave a crap about the monument. You won't get into jail for 6 years - not even for 6 days - but you'll be in a lot of trouble if you film...
