questioning the morality of the movie I just made a bit- hoping I didn't make an exploitation film - would appreciate any thoughts on this or anything else ----- HAH BLOOD is a found footage film consisting of internet clips assembled over the course of 3 years. The filmmaker believes the...

Hi I'm exporting video H264 MP4 from premiere cc... when i view the processed file on youtube the background isn't "true black". when i play it within the premiere or use WMP it IS true black. Check it out... Other videos on youtube show up with a 100% black background. This is a pretty...

Such as seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hm3JodBR-vs I know I can do it manually in premiere, but I'm working with probably 50 clips, and they have to be exactly side by side, so this would be pretty difficult. Thanks

I've been looking into programs and it seems like the high end ones require a specialized system (xeon processor, fancy graphics card)... my deal is manipulation of image rather than actual graphic design. I'm just looking for something a bit more geared towards doing relatively avant garde...

I'm looking for a pro level program to use for radical color correction grading and other effects. Maybe like magic bullet but more geared for experimental stuff. Here are two vids to show you guys what im looking for... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsekfB_Kmpk (2 minutes in)...

alcove thanks for the tip about the nt3, musicians friend had it listed as being hypercardiod. What do you think about AKG C1000? Regarding shock mounts I'm not planning on using more than 1 recording device at a time so I'm looking for something that could hold both the akg c1000 and the h4n...

assuming i want to be able to mount the h4n and the hypercardiod i get... i've decided that i want the rode nt3, am i gonna need to buy separate shock mounts so camera noise is isolated? I've tried looking for information about this online but its pretty scant.

camvader, are you saying I'm basically gonna have crap sounding movie? I definitely don't need it to be pro, this is a guerilla style shoot all the way through and roughness is definitely ok. I just don't want it to be so bad people automatically discount the film, or it clashes with the...

wow alcove the at4053b is pretty expensive, any cheaper hypercardiod options? I'd like to spending less than 600 bucks total on sound stuff. the h4n is 300 bucks so I guess that leaves 300 for the hypercardiod + wind protection. Also with regards to windscreens is there anything I could use...

thanks for the responses everyone.... I'm pretty committed to the dslr at this point, but how about this: For field interviews I give the subjects a handheld or clip on mic which i record into a zoom h4n... I also use the h4ns stereo mics for field recordings (environmental noise). It is...

alcove, just to be clear, even if i'm recording to a separate device, the sound will be substandard as long as it is mounted on my dslr? Since I'm by myself, a camera mounted mic seems like its my only option when im in the field.

yeah I'm doing this solo so it appears like camera mounted sound is my only option? I already have an akg 414 and phantom power box i was gonna use for interviews but I will probably want to do sound on the field as well. are there really no options here?

Isn't it possible to get funding from public corporations, pbs, bbc to develop programming for them? How do most documentary filmmakers make a living? I'm actually drawing up a business plan for the project I'm currently working on, and its goin pretty well except for the itsy bitsy problem...

do you mean if i'm recording into the gh2 the audio is going to come out funny, glitches, pops, etc? or is this a case of me not being able to monitor* or adjust internal levels? *since the mic im getting is going to be powered wouldnt it be possible for me to split the stereo signal coming in...
