Looking to upgrade to the sony a7s of the 5D mkIII. Whats peoples opinions on the A7s, is it just a band wagon camera or is it really that special. Will be shooting for Video only.

I have recently purchased my first field monitor which is a Feelworld FW689HD 7" HD 800*480P. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00CA15NOU?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00 From first impressions it seems far more better then having to look at the LCD screen on the camera. I...

They are but they are not correct. Not professionally anyway. Quality is always lost. H.264 - V Bit Rate is not specific. There are plenty of options for this but none of them have been successful. I used MPEG Streamclip with some settings that worked better then the "Recommended H.264...

I know this has probably been covered a load of times but i cant actually seem to find any that work better then any others. So i want to personally hear your guys export settings for Youtube, or links to a decent article covering it. For some reason i still cant get the crystal clear upload to...

No idea if this has already been done but it would really be helpful for everyone to share their locations in and around their towns that other people can use. Any abandoned places etc. What are the laws for filming here How to go around getting permission etc

I would like some information and advise on all rural locations around England but mainly Surrey!! Looking for anything from ruins, abandoned buildings/ hospitals/ factories, castles, mines, crypts, you name it. Or any websites with lists of abandoned places. The advise I would like is how...

Can anyone please point me in the right direction to where i can find anywhere that posts about locations, whether or not they are free or incur a charge. Is there anywhere on the Indie talk where you can post/blog about locations Regards

thanks a lot guys and yeah we have a genny but think its only like 2k. Ill check out the video! thanks again :)

at this time of year there is no sun lol ( in london) so im guessing it will be overcast so should i light it with 3x 800w?

Ah ok, thats cool then as i have a ND filter for the cam anyway (well i hope it will fit the lens) ive only got 3x 800w lights at the moment, so ill have a look around on ebay or something for brighter. unless you think those will do for now...

What sort of bright electric lights? LED? or will 800w do? Also what does ND win out mean? cheers guys!

Hey ive got a music video coming up to shoot and i will be filming outdoors in a "rural area" I was curious to know what lighting i should use for outdoor/daytime and if reflectors should be used? Regards :)

Why arnt you going for a digital SLR?

Thank you. Thats explained things a lot more. I was curious to know if i could do this then with just in line dimmers on the plug, as you said what would be ideal is a lighting desk but im guessing they are going to be expensive.

I started making music videos and i can be out of my depth a bit when it comes to lighting. We use standard Red Heads to light the sets but from watching other music videos we want to know what sort of lights they use and the techniques they use to get them to flash. If anyone could please give...
