What is the best video tripod kit for under $300 / £250. I am buying from the UK and so far I think the Benro A3573F and S6 head seems to be the best bet. (It is going for £237 on Amazon.co.uk) Any other suggestions? Thanks!

Thank you so much for your help you've helped me a lot!

Oh wow that's exactly what I was trying to achieve! What did you use/do to get those results?

Ever so sorry! Thanks for taking the time to help me, here is a lot more detailed information. Here are before and after videos of the raw file and then after boosting the red, so you can see the splodges in action! Before: http://youtu.be/3TWP93yKYwo After: http://youtu.be/2xwG2kpSXTI It...

It is most likely my equipment, I just don't understand why it's happening. Here are a couple of screenshots. Raw: Post: (I have only boosted the red in the shadows) I don't know how easy to see it will be in the screenshots, but when the colour-corrected footage is played there are...

Thanks for the response! Yea I found that diffusers were key! I got amazing results and the lighting looked fantastic - lighting the artists face, with a lot of the background in shadow. However, although the shots appear well lit, there is very little flexibility in editing. If I try and color...

I am shooting a music video and I am wondering what results I could get in a pitch black area with only CAR HEADLIGHTS and a REFLECTOR. Does anyone have any advice for shooting with such limited lighting and achieving the best results? The scene will be the artist performing to camera. (I am...

I own the Lilliput 5D-II O/P monitor and the Neewer CN-160 led light. The lilliput monitor has a battery adapter for Sony NP-f970 and the Neewer light accepts Sony NP-f550 batteries. I'm looking to buy one charger and then multiple batteries that can be used with either the monitor OR the...

Thanks for all your help guys!

That makes perfect sense! However, I posted this question on a different forum and received a rather technical answer, now I'm confused again! Their answer was: So will a longer focal length create a more blurred background?

I am using the Panny GH3 for video and trying to creating a shallow depth of field. I am not obsessed with creating a ridiculously blurred background, but I'm more concerned with creating some blur at a certain proximity from my subject. In this video, at 03:08 the subjects entire upper body is...

Thank you very much, that makes a lot of sense!

I'm trying to achieve a shallow depth of field with my panasonic GH3, and I have a question about proximity vs focal length. If you have two shots, both framed the same, but: 1) is with a wide lens and at close proximity to the subject 2) is with a higher focal length, at more of a distance...

Thanks! Is the 'nikon to mft lens turbo' an adapter for nikon lenses on M4/3 Systems? Would you recommend nikon then, and if so, what sort of length? Thanks for your help!

I am using a Panasonic GH3, currently with a Leica 25mm f/1.4 lens, and I am looking to buy a new lens for shooting film. I am curious as to what lenses are typically used to shoot film? I am quite eager to achieve a shallow depth of field, would this be easier using a wide angle lens with wide...
