    DSLR Video: Good Lens or Good Light? What’s more important?

    I'm not sure which Mark III and Blackmagic comparison you watched, but I only know of one out there and the difference between the two cameras was drastic. Mark III and just about anything under C300 can't compete in the IQ range. If Larger Sensors are your preference for whatever reason then...

    None of which you can get to without a middle man. In amazon's case, Amazon Prime.

    You can't get to a number of outlets without a middle man.

    Your statement is wrong. They won't be advertising anything for him. These tiny boutique distributors take the movie, try to cram it into many avenues as possible and leave it there. There's no advertising.

    An offer for distribution...

    It is completely common place now for a distributor to take VOD/Streaming rights for an indie/no budget feature and leave the creator DVD, foreign, etc. They may not make much money, but they will make some money. A single Netflix streaming license could put two to fifteen thousand dollars in...

    Best camera for under £1000?

    That's what i meant about a 2.66:1 crop. If people can handle MKII footage, they can definitely handle GH2 cropped footage. xD

    Best camera for under £1000?

    I've been looking at the 2.66:1 crop version and it still looks great on a very very large screen, 3.55:1 is interesting as well. I feel like I'm gonna have to just shoot Epic or Scarlet which will suck, but maybe I can convince myself to use the Gh2 like I reallyw ant to.

    Best camera for under £1000?

    There are some things on that list that I haven't even seen. lol. The 3.55:1 Anamorphic feature looks pretty neat! Super wide, comically wide, but at the same time it still feels nice. I've been debating which camera to shoot anamorphic on for my next no-budget feature, so it's cool to see...

    The Sony A99 - Full Frame SLT Camera

    You can download an MTS file from the camera here: http://www.sonyalpharumors.com/hot-first-a99-full-size-raw-image-samples-at-quesabesde/ Honestly... from the two videos, both the VG900 and A99 look really.. unpleasant. This clip just reaffirms that for me. I was hoping for a nice Full...

    How was Act of Valor shot, on DSLRs with no jello effect?

    Your old camera had a CCD Sensor, the read out's different. CMOS sensors scan the image in sections at a certain refresh rate. Basically it's just like a tall jello mold: swing it left to right while holding the plate and the top needs time to catch up to the sway of the bottom. Same "visual"...

    Is micro-budget DSLR gear really good enough to make a real movie out of?

    Anything over sixty minutes is a feature film. Christopher Nolan's first feature film was black and white and I believe sixty seven minutes in length. Before titles and credits etc It did not stop him from becoming the same Nolan you know of today.

    Is micro-budget DSLR gear really good enough to make a real movie out of?

    The glass didn't make much of a difference on a 7D. It's too low res to matter. It helped likely in the arena of "fall off", but negligible amounts. The reason to use them would be mechanics, and that's just because of who's working with the camera. And, cinema glass doesn't mean "instant...

    archived-videos GH2 Hack Tests w/PL mount

    Post some with the Isco, Fernando. Can you focus with it? I had an Isco like six or seven years ago with a 35mm adapter, I paid 300.00 for it, couldnt' figure it out because I was a newb and gave it back to the guy. Boy, had I known... Hahah all of the rumors are true, but there's some...

    Like Crazy is the best example you can find. Enjoy reading about it.

    Don't be surprised if the GH3 has this. =P I REALLY want to use them on the Magic Cam, though. That'll be the big hit for me.

    I personally am looking forward to upgrading to a GH3 this year. A lot of the information being leaked is true, including the increase in dynamic range and sensitivity all around. Gonna be a killer B cam for my Magic Cam! Thanks for checkin' out the stuff, man, and post up when you start...

    cinematography Anamorphic DSLR

    Pretty much. It ends up as 3.55:1 which is crazy, but interesting. Instead of converting everything to the right aspect, I actually just desqueezed in FCP, applied those changes to all of the clips and took advantage of the pan area to reframe instead of just throwing the information away...

    Low Budget Lessons

    Agree with a lot of these, Nick. Two things: 1. Locations - this is just going to depend on your script. IMO, yeah it's hard to manage locations on a low budget, but several locations and great locations are one of the things that separate a very obvious indie/no budget production from...
