    cinematography What is the use of a video assist?

    Well, yeah! Its pretty hard to determine the exposure and focus on viewfinders, video assists and even the LCD viewfinders that come with Digital cameras, they are so misleading. A lot depends on the eye and the mind of the cinematographer, an intution - so to speak :) So yeah, as you said...

    cinematography What is the use of a video assist?

    I've seen Cinematographers using the IVS Video assists on their Arri cameras. Is it a preview system independent of what has been captured by the film?

    The things you hate to see in Short films?

    Amateurs (like me) must be patient, spend more time on practicing the camera (or anything that matters) before we could display our work. I've used my friend's T2i five times and I hate everything that I did with it, but I can notice a slight improvement. I use my very own digital camera to try...

    editing Cheap(er) alternatives to Premiere Pro

    Who'll ask which software we used? I'm not telling that I'm doing piracy but just out of curiosity will someone really ask about the softwares we used and that whether they are pirated or not?

    > Lo/No Budget Review

    Spend more time on scripts and try to master them because there are lots and lots of people with good technical knowledge who can help or guide or even work. And and don't cast your friends! Remember what Sidney Lumet once said, "There are no small decisions in filmmaking."

    Congrats! You're almost complete :) I will be buying one next week, not as expensive as yours but an entry level DSLR such as T2i. I've been in contact with the store manager and according to what he said I'll be getting a tripod stand, if I remember it correctly he said 18-55mm zoom lens, and...

    Who is Your Favorite Director and Why?

    Among veterans, its Alfred Hitchcock. Among the modern directors its David Fincher. And I like Sir Ridley Scott because of his excellence in production design and art direction though on some occasions his films lack good writing.

    sound M-S mic arrangement

    What I've got right now is Audio Technical AT2020 that I borrowed from my brother, he was using it to for vocals. Sounds good but problem is that this is the only mic that I have used and I don't know if there are any better mics of the same range as AT2020. The boom mics I see around are long...
