No, you can not record video on the card.

> What do theatres take now off the top, percentage? It seems it's a sliding scale based on how long the movie has been in theaters? The first week or two, the theater gets 20%, I think. It varies on the film, though - generally, the bigger the national rollout, (and thus, the more money the...

Doug, you are far too polite. I would have pulled Gina and taken the picture anyway. What is she going to do, kick you out? Are you familiar with the Peter Principal? Check it out on wikipedia. This lady sounds like prime example of Peter's principal. I would definitely share your...

Check out Stephen Dempsey's work and be ready to be blown away. He uses the Letus adapter. I am still toying with idea to get an adapter as well. Brilliant work. http://www.vimeo.com/pinelakeflms

Rain, You can upload presets into the xh a1 and then select them under custom presets. A preset allows you to change the look of your footage. You do this with your memory card. Check this out: http://www.vimeo.com/846830 Tony

US copyright office and Writer's Guild (only good for 5 years). Google them and you will find them.

My first short took 2 days to write, 2 nights to shoot, 3 days to edit and another week on an off of screwing around with fixing things, sound, rendering types and testing, etc. I think it all depends on the nature of the script, number of people involved, number of locations, the more of any =...

Hey looks good Eddie. Like the voice and British colloquialisms. Tony

I brought my camera outside for shooting in the snow. It was -something. Freakin cold. I noticed the LCD screen start to ghost after 5-10 minutes of shooting in open air. I figured the LCD crystals were getting cold so I wrapped it up and took it back inside. It's fine. I use my camera...

First of all, for a lot less money, you can build a PC editing system than a Mac. That's the facts Jack. Mac's are cool, trendy, they do cool things. But for the same money it costs you to buy a mac, you can build a much better PC system that will way kick its ass. I used to set up, run...

You also want to shoot in HD because anything you do to promote it on the web will be higher quality as most monitors support a higher resolution than the standard DVD rez. Remember when you burn it to a single or dual layer DVD, its going to be 720 x 480. Also, you may have the opportunity to...

WB Doug, WAY better than my sorry explanation. Thank you. I will be more thorough in the future and wedgy me if I am wrong. Tony

IF you are shooting in manual WB, you find the whitest of the white thing in your shooting environment and balance on that. Then check your footage. I would really like to hear how others handle this--finding the whitest thing in your environment or bring a white card along. I suppose if...
