Agreed. I've never heard anyone suggest removing a lens flare in post rather than on set - the time and cost difference is enormous.

Has anyone mentioned the effect of sensor size on light gathering capabilities? All things being equal, a full-frame sensor should give you around two stops advantage over an MFT one - i.e. ISO 3200 on FF will be roughly as noisy as ISO 800 on MFT (APS-C sensors lie about halfway in between)...

Mod note: Moved from Film to correct forum.

Premiere Pro CS6 will edit AVCHD just fine without transcoding or rewrapping if you have a fast enough processor.

Most modern NLEs will allow you to scale and rotate your footage to level it. What software are you using to edit?

I'm now very glad I bought (at student prices) a copy of CS6 Production Premium last year. I was very happy to drop a chunk of change on it knowing it would last a good few years, but there's no way I could justify a monthly subscription for software I use irregularly and predominantly for...

That should be a 360° shutter, not 0° - the number refers to the portion of the shutter that is open.

Nice and smooth, and I really like how you've brought out the orange/green colour contrast in the grade. The only thing I'd suggest to improve it would perhaps be a subtle grad on the sky so it's not quite so solid a colour. Looks great, though!

How wide do you want to go? Samyang make an 8mm f/3.5 fisheye lens - not to everyone's taste perhaps, but if you like the fisheye look then it's very good value. The Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 seems to be well-rated for the price, though it is right at the limit of your budget. While I'd normally...

After 30 seconds on the Magic Lantern user guide, I found this: …and under notes and tips:

A lens is a lens is a lens. When we talk about equivalent focal lengths we're really comparing the field of view, i.e. how wide an angle we can look at through the lens. When calculating depth of field, you should use the sensor size and actual focal length of the lens - after all, crop factor...

Nonsense. Halfway down that page is a link to "Apple ProRes - MultimediaWiki" that has the information you needed. I could see no other file formats referenced in the first few pages of results.

I just spent a few minutes Googling "acpn" which isn't a file format. "apcn" on the other hand, refers to Apple's ProRes 422 codec which I found after searching for about 30 seconds. I think you'll need to download "Apple ProRes QuickTime Decoder 1.0 for Windows" to open the files. Must we do...

Have a read of this thread: How was Deep Focus achieved in film Noir and low light situations? Trying to shoot for deep focus on a DSLR with minimal lighting is asking for trouble. Given that you aren't prepared to spend money on lighting and are apparently unwilling to learn how to use...

Because it has a comparatively tiny sensor and a very wide lens.

Here's something I posted ages ago in the Lighting by Example thread… Only one lamp and one reflector; all the fill was provided by the bath tub.

That's the gist of it, yes. I would however emphasise the difference between performing in sync to a pre-recorded track (i.e. actually singing or playing guitar etc.) and merely lip syncing (or miming) - the latter often fails to look convincing, especially when dealing with less experienced...

Very nice! I've fixed your YouTube embed for you (you just need the video ID after ?v=) :)

British UAVs are mostly operated from Nevada… …and the Germans have an Air Force Command operating out of Texas. And I believe Singapore and Saudi Arabia have training facilities in the US. But the main reason there are so few foreign military installations on US soil is because you're so...

Does your lens not have a switch to turn off auto-focus?
