    Dumb audio question. worried my audio will kill someone, any help

    That quote you were given is kind of dumb, imo. And you're being a goofball, but I think I understand what the quote meant. It's basically saying if the lowest audible sound is played (and is 000000000000000000000001 volume in the bit stream), then playing it 16 million times louder (at...

    24-105mm Canon L lens, darker when zooming in?

    It's somewhat affordable, but it's EF-S for canon. Maybe $800? I don't think there's an EF-S to m43 speed booster, so you won't be getting F/1.0 without vignette. Yeah, it's $800 list, so street price should be pretty decent. http://www.sigmaphoto.com/product/18-35mm-f18-dc-hsm-a

    the digital "wobble"

    Software can correct rolling shutter. As long as it's a pan, and not something bouncing or jarring the camera, it should correct really easily. Rolling shutter is a hardware issue. There's no way to inherently correct it, although there are ways to lessen its effects. Limiting pans and camera...

    24-105mm Canon L lens, darker when zooming in?

    You are using manual settings? Nothing automatic going on (including auto-ISO)? How much does it change? If it's no more than 1/3 of a stop, that might be normal. If it's a full stop, that's borked. Take a pic at f=24mm f/4 of a gray card, in manual settings and manual focus. Without moving...

    Anyone have his vegas 12 problem?

    Yeah, sounds like you cropped partially through a clip and animated it. That's one of the cool abilities of vegas, as it's pretty easy to do. Of course, you can accidentally animate it, too.

    I need help to determine which DSLR camera I should get

    Oh man. I did know the STM lenses made a little noise, but didn't think it'd make any noise while using it manually. Sorry, I'll note that bit of info next time I make recommendations. They did make the STM stuff their AF movie lenses, but I have heard of the noise. I figured an STM would be a...

    Just watched first feature I helped shoot

    Was boom op for about 1/3 of this movie, and watched the private screening at a local theater. It's very impressive! I found myself distracted looking for boom shadow or artifacts I could've caused, but saw nothing... and sound seemed pretty good. Editor was happy with the quality, so that...

    I need help to determine which DSLR camera I should get

    $600 USD for the body only isn't great. Not a ripoff, but not a great deal imo. Don't know how that translates to canadian dollars, though. You could get a 7D for about $700 used, without much trouble. IIRC, they used film in BrBa. :D I should contact the group casting bg for Saul....

    I need help to determine which DSLR camera I should get

    Slightly better, and the articulating lcd is nice. But as far as distribution of your dollars, lenses tend to retain their value much better than camera bodies. Most (canon) lenses will drop to 2/3 of their value after 5-10 years, but a camera body tends to drop to half it's purchased value...

    1 all purpose mic

    I get it! I just ... uh, didn't read it all that well at first. Sounds like that can cause some bizarrities with picking up cars or something but not birds.

    I need help to determine which DSLR camera I should get

    That's odd, I think it's just the opposite. Their glass is beyond compare. Their cameras could use some work, but the glass Canon makes is top of the line. The reason why canon came up was the OP said something about buying a t3i. Frankly, I don't like the form factor for filming, and I've...

    how would you respond to being called the worst ever....

    So... what is your question? This person clearly doesn't like how you write. If you're a chef and someone says "I don't like seafood", would you keep feeding him shrimp? Either you change your style, or you find another critic. In either case, you don't take it personally. Not everyone likes...

    1 all purpose mic

    Looks like I got it backwards, and super is on the wider side of hyper. APE's advice trumps mine on all things audio.

    1 all purpose mic

    That's a light shotgun, between a hyper and a long shotgun. It's slightly more directional than a hyper cardiod, but the angle is still reasonably wide. It's actually suitable for booming inside or out, and should be a decent mic for booming all around, including inside. You can get decent...

    1 all purpose mic

    I made another edit that might help you answer your question. The examples you gave all use different mics, which is why it sounds like... how long is a piece of string :)

    1 all purpose mic

    If you knew the pros and cons of each, you could answer that question yourself. It obviously depends on each situation. It's like asking which prime lens is best for filming, and that all depends on what you're filming, what size camera sensor you have, where you're filming, etc. If you're...

    Making a VERY Controversial Film

    That's good. I told you it needed to be believable (or at least give a viable suspension of disbelief). What you had pitched was not. Maybe you should consider starting with the incident in Deming, NM, when a guy rolled out of a walmart and was pulled over by a cop, who detained and obtained a...

    Making a VERY Controversial Film

    As far as preventative procedures? I don't know what to tell you. I can't imagine it being a sexual assault or ignorance. They do pap smears and simple tests for tumors or polyps on women and prostate health on men. That's a great example. Considering a very large number of ob/gyn are female...

    Making a VERY Controversial Film

    Right, definitely narrative. You won't get doctors to help even if they do want to disclose what's going on, because they're clearly going to be presented in a bad light. If you want to be taken seriously, you need to make sure you don't completely lose the viewer by saying things like...

    Making a VERY Controversial Film

    Sounds like a documentary, which would be a lot easier than a narrative. Filming sounds pretty straightforward. I don't see an issue with using students, but do you think they can actually be convincing? If it's a documentary, if it's done in a sensitive manner, you can get victims to give...
