Hi. I produce a series with a 400k$ budget alone. My DOP helped organise the crew and also does a lot of the post production work. So basically he is one of the two "most important" people in the production. Also he has worked for a good rate for the filming and the editing. What kind of profit...

Hi, this is our first scripted project. I would like to hear some feedback :) I did not pay enough attention to the sound, there is a noise... but overall I'm happy with the result, especially because it was shot with several actors and locations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5osT1Sl6MI

I will shoot just under the surfice, maybe a meter, so I will go for the plastic case. Thank you.

Hi, I am trying to shoot some scenes under water (salt ocean) and some in a swimming pool. I currently use a 5DM3 for my above water shots but I also have a 650 D. Which underwater case would you recommend? Or are there better solutions for filming underwater? ThatsBasti

I have The DSLR Filmmaker's Handbook from Barry Anderson and Janie L. Geyen. Its really good, probably exactly what you are searching for :)

I will look into it, thanks. I just edit a vlog to get used to the software. I will look into the multicam feature, thanks. I found this guy here for training videos (http://www.larryjordan.biz). Is it worth buying the subscription?

Thanks to both of you. I'm a bit surprised that there is no option to delete and ripple delete in one step, my old editing software did that with CTRL+del, I used that a lot.

I am new to premiere, so I might have basic mistakes in my thought process, please tell me if there is an easier way. So I have 2 video and 2 audio files from the 2 cameras. I dragged both videos in the timeline, clicked on the razor tool and cut a bit from the beginning of 1 of the videos so...

I used Cyberlink Powerdirector 11 Ultimate so far, I want to try Adobe premier today for the first time and try to stick with that.

Hello, I want to change my videos from 1080p to 720p because its quicker to edit and upload. Usually I shoot in PAL 25fps, now with my camera I can only choose 50fps. I don't want quality loss, but I'm pretty sure that I can just shoot in 50fps and my editing program scales it down to 25? But...

I think I will wait for the Canon Cine Primes, is there an estimate how much they will approx cost? I think I will shoot my series in 1080p but will use the lenses for later projects as well, in 2 years 4k is prob standard :) or is the picture better with the cinema cameras...

Thanks. I think I will go with RedRock first, the guys in my book use it as well. I just can't find it on amazon.co.uk. I need a matte box as well, so maybe it's better to get all in one...

What do you need a follow focus for? I understand that you can switch the focus between several objects in a shot. Is there any other useful thing you can do with it? What separates a good from a bad follow focus? Have you got some recommendations for a good one? Is it even useful to spend...

I own a 5d mark iii and some of the better Canon lenses like the 50mm f1.2, 24-70mm f2.8 and 70-200mm f2.8. I want to shoot an online series (comedy/action) in a year, so I want to get a set of prime lens. I read in a book that they recommend Leica R and cine (I don't have the book here but what...

My favorite is Dr. Horrible's sing along blog. I also like the Bourne Trilogy and Big Fish, but usually watch TV series like breaking bad, arrested development or modern Family.
