    Film stock: can I cut up a 400ft reel into 100ft reels?

    Ah good thinking Steve. Also, I assume I won't need a roller to put inside a new roll of 100ft film, that the spool will be able to go straight onto the spindle?

    Film stock: can I cut up a 400ft reel into 100ft reels?

    I may have the opportunity to score some discount 16mm stock that will be 400ft, the only problem is my bolex camera only takes 100ft reels. Is there an easy way to turn the 400ft into 4 lots of 100ft or will I simply have to stick to buying 100ft reels and/or short ends? I don't fancy hand...

    Remaining Budget and filmmaker's right?

    You're not doing the investor/s an extra favour by being efficient with their money and then pocketing the difference, their soul interest in the film is to make a profit, so of course they wouldn't be impressed if your keeping some of the films money for yourself. Your intention to try film...

    I'm definetly with you on that one Clive, I can't seem to compress my films to a reasonable quality unless the file size is something ridiculous like 250mb.

    shooting in HUGE warehouse/radio studio

    Hey Spinner, sorry I havn't been around much lately, things have been really busy. Bad news is that I didn't end up using the warehouse for my short film for a number of reasons, but the film I shot instead turned out well. It won an Achievment award at my HIgh School and I am sending a copy to...

    New Sony HDV HDRHC1 (Merged Thread)

    The only thing is the dvx doesn't shoot in 16:9 and it is a much more expensive camera.

    New Sony HDV HDRHC1 (Merged Thread)

    I was wondering, if I shot in dv mode on this camera, would the single 1/3 cmos chip create a similar quality image to that of a 3ccd camera such as the vx2100 or xm2? Or would it be like comparing a 1ccd camera to a 3ccd camera?

    expandore?

    Hey guys, I've been hearing alot about expandore.com. Are they a respectable company to trust with my hard earned $$$? They seem to have good prices but I don't want to risk it if they are a little sketchy. Hope you can help!

    are there any adult filmmakers here

    Brainstorm on porn? What is there to think about. It's such an uncreative use of film but I'm sure it's not that hard to think of ideas.

    Captured video footage looks worse than in camera

    It only down converts when you are actually outputing to a computer etc. not if you record in hdv and play back on a hdtv.

    Aspiring film maker... format??

    WideShot, you spoke of shooting VHS today as silly, and this has got me wondering since I shot with a digital8 camera on the weekend. The results are far better than I was expecting, better than the results I have with my minidv camera. The picture wasn't as sharp and the colours were better. Is...
