FCE will work with most situations from DVX100A, but remember that the DVX has TWO methods of recording and encoding 24p. 24p (standard) and 24pA (advanced). Without going into the pulldown story (there is a 3rd pulldown, 2:2:2:4 RT that nobody mentioned), if you want your final movie on a...

Clive, by holding onto this idée fixe, you are missing the point that there are many, MANY other levels of filmmaking that are enjoyable and even profitable that don't require or result in a "massive hit feature film". I live in a small rural state with a disproportionately smaller community of...

If he wanted just a rough cut, then he could do it in iMovie, which would cost him nothing. And yet, feature films are being released all the time by the Majors having been cut on (Academy Award Winning) Final Cut Pro, not Avid. I think he indicated that he wants to be a self-taught student...

I might be wrong here, but if you shoot 24p (DVX100/A), you won't be able to edit in 24p in Final Cut Express.

The guy that owns the company Rostronics is Tom Rost and he is a sweetheart. The night I put in my order, he emailed me three times in the wee hours to make sure I had exactly what I wanted. It arrived two days later. I've heard from others who have received something broken or defective...

It is new gear and it's pretty damned good. For the money, it's great gear. I have a couple of heads and stands from them and I'm really impressed. I was worried about the "composite" construction, but it has held up well and their barndoors are actually a better construction than the ones on...

Why in the f**k would anyone want to write a screenplay on a Palm? It's hard enough writing one on a desktop system.

Those urging The Psychotic One to buy cheap lights are doing him a real disservice. A camera, any camera, records LIGHT and absence of light (shadow). The better those two things are controlled and composed, the better the final image. If you think he's going to be happy with images...

Nobody mentioned "Finder's Fee".

Speak for yourself. :weird:

I'd be gaffer or assistant. I've got an LTM Full Spectrum Pepper Kit. If it was a longish shoot, I would expect lamp replacements when thy burned out and I'd want to be fed.

As I said, I don't know anything about the GL-1, so I also don't know about the lens size. At B&H (I always start at B&H) a 72mm Black ProMist 1 is $71.50 - less for smaller lenses, more for larger. You may find a "Lenses-R-Us" web store that might be a bit cheaper, but not by much, I would...

If you are looking for monochromatic flat and lifeless, I'm not sure that you want to use the Ultra Contrast as it will tweak up the difference between blacks and greys. I can't actually see your vision, of course, but "flat and lifeless" suggests little contrast. I don't know much about your...
