    editing How do create a "reverse negative' in Premiere Pro?

    I think it's called "Flip" or "Flop" (one is horizontal, one is vertical) in Premiere. "Negative" is definitely the wrong word to search for.

    recommend good performances by 2-3 year old children?

    It's not a film, but the BBC series Outnumbered has some fantastic comic performances by children.

    tv 4K TV sets will Arrive 2012

    I mostly agree with the rest of your post, but you're confusing resolution with sensor size here - there's no reason why you couldn't have, for example, a S35-sized sensor with 8K resolution.

    Old Final Cut Studio on a New Mac.

    If it's from 2005 then it's a pre-Universal Binary version, so there is no Intel executable included in the app. Add to this the dropping of Rosetta in OS X 10.7 (which allows you to run PPC applications on Intel processors) and I'd say there is pretty much zero chance that this will run at all...

    Ah yes, now everyone should be able to understand it :D

    College gave me advice: Don't go

    Just thought I'd clear up the British education system… the university/college thing makes it all a bit confusing. Compulsory education ends at the age of 16 (for now) - the final qualifications are called GCSEs (the stage I believe Phil is at). You can then choose to go on to sixth...

    College gave me advice: Don't go

    Unless it's stopping you from doing something amazing, I think it'd be foolish to turn down two years of free education. I'm sure much of the practical side of a Film Studies course would be beneath you, but learning about the history and theory of film would be both useful and interesting (and...

    editing How do I color over noise?

    A noisy shot will not be improved by painting over it with block colours. Either buy something like NeatVideo or Magic Bullet Denoiser, or - what I think would be the most sensible option - leave it as is, get the short finished and move on to bigger and better things.

    cinematography The DP that wasn't there...

    Was great to watch The Red Shoes again after Black Swan - not often you get to compare two very different approaches to similar material by masters of the craft! There's no "very intrigued" emoticon, so this'll have to do. :hmm:

    cinematography The DP that wasn't there...

    Has no one mentioned Jack Cardiff yet? For shame. I'd also like to add John Alton, Gordon Willis and Seamus McGarvey.

    What type of lens do I need for this shot?

    It remains fixed until you change the focal length - then as soon as you stop zooming, the picture snaps brighter/darker as the aperture corrects itself. If you use a lens with a constant aperture (i.e. can achieve the same f-stop at the wide and tele ends) you won't have this problem.

    What type of lens do I need for this shot?

    It's nothing to do with auto exposure - it happens in manual mode too, because a) the lens doesn't have a constant aperture and b) the camera can only communicate aperture changes to the lens in steps, not a smooth curve. Harmonica, I'd be inclined to do it with a dolly move rather than a zoom...

    cinematography Shooting Sun Glare

    The cheapest route might be to use a piece of welding glass - stacking cheap ND filters will cause lots of problems with infra-red contamination.

    Third lense

    As ROC said, what's right for you is not what's right for everyone. The lenses you've listed there are hugely versatile in terms of focal length - you've got almost every mm covered from 11mm (ultrawide) to 250mm (super telephoto on APS-C). Personally, I went in the other direction and (aside...

    Problem with Custom White Balance

    I'm with knightly on this - a custom setting may get you the most technically correct white balance, but I much prefer the results of using the presets/dialling in a specific colour temperature for the scene. Setting white balance from shot to shot seemed like the logical thing to do when I...
