Sweetie, thx for your feedback. Can you elaborate on the "questionable edits?" Also, I'm not following you on the "choice of angle" thing. Which angle(s) are you referring to?

Check out this scene I wrote, directed and produced, for an actor's reel. Lemme know what you think... I'm the "detective." https://vimeo.com/134089618

I agree. I've cast the majority of my current short film using FB messages and emails. Indie short films don't need to stand on ceremony and since we're not paying them anything except back end funds, it's really a matter of who you know and like for the role and whether they'll approve of the...

Okay, I can buy this, however, the reference mix is bounced to a "master" track and there is some level of compression applied to that master track, correct? If so, then I am partially correct. Because I would imagine if the OP of this thread was intending for us to listen to this mix with...

For the time being, I have put my Tascam HD/P2 through its paces, however, in the upcoming future, I have a slate of videos which may require more than 2 tracks. I'd like to be able to bounce a few tracks down to 1 of the 3 right in the unit, on location, and still have the other two tracks for...

I'm guessing you mean the 633? Okay, that's a good point. Hmmmm... So, what makes the 633 cheaper then? Is it because it's less desirable to use an onboard mixer than to have the option to choose a mixer?

I have an experienced DP who has never had the budget for either of these two cameras as an option. So, I'm exploring what the benefits of the two 8K powerhouses now so I can have a good conversation with him.

Everything right now is hypothetical. There is the distinct possibility, however, nothing firm or committed yet. So, could be a year, could be 2. The budget may be in the $200,000 range for a 2 day commercial shoot. So, yeah, the potential is that I can, and should, use a camera capable of...

Best of luck to ya.

Are there any technical specs that would result in a significantly different shot? Is there a vast difference in color depth or are they both comparable in that regard?

Besides the addition of an extra channel in the 744T, are there any other vast differences that I should be aware of between the 633 and the 744T?

Okay, considering which one to rent in the event I am commissioned to shoot a big budget commercial, which may be a reality in the foreseeable future. Anyone here familiar with the Sony F65 or Red Weapon Camera, and can speak to their efficacy? How steep is the learning curve for either...

Yes, that's what I was referring to. I don't have one. I just had initially spoken about it a while ago and was in support of it, however, I've changed my mind as well after reading the comments. Mainly because at the time I hadn't even read in detail what the Wooden Box was, but mainly was...

I agree. Admittedly, I thought initially that the BMPCC was something different, and the cost was justified. However, the answers posed by the others has me convinced the BMPCC was not the answer. I just don't like certain people's approach here in this thread, so I wanted time to pass...

I agree with APE here. One of the pitfalls I have fallen into in my mixes from time to time, is wanting them to sound rich and full, by adding too much bass to everything, to the detriment of the mix. Your instruments aren't separated enough. Try boosting each instrument in different places on...
