    Blackmagic Cinema Camera

    For a game changer it is sure having a lot of issues. As of November it was not working with the following Canon lenses... 35mm_f1.4L(aperture not working) 85mmf1.2L(aperture or focus not working) 24-70mm_F2.8L(v1 aperture not working) I think DSLRs are safe for the time being.

    Why do most 'indie'/low budget films fall down?

    Who are you to judge others work when you yourself have never even completed a project? What makes you an expert on cameras? You're touting a 3k camera that has a crazy amount of startup cost to even make it feasible to use. You go on to talk about how great that camera is. Have you used one...

    camera for mac

    I have no problems with AVCHD and Final Cut Pro X or iMovie. I use a Sony NEX FS100. It may have been an issue in the 7 and the older version of iMovie but it is non-existant now.

    Reinventing Silent Movies

    Shot Gun Mic / Audio Recorder Question

    The first part is what I was wondering about. So it is due to improper settings and not something wrong with the unit itself. As for what do I want.. That is why I am here. I know nothing about audio other than the fact it makes or breaks a production. Alcove what makes the Tascam DR-100MKII...

    Shot Gun Mic / Audio Recorder Question

    Tascam over Zoom H4n? And what about the helicopter noise on the DR-40 (at least that is what one video mentioned about it.)

    Shot Gun Mic / Audio Recorder Question

    I am going to purchase the Sgmx2 Professional Barrel Shotgun Microphone by Azden by the end of the month. My question is will it work out plugging it directly into my Sony Nex FS100 or should I get a separate audio recorder? If I should get a separate audio recorder, what is a reasonably...

    I was looking at a couple Nikon primes. I was looking at a 50mm and a 35 mm but for the two of them it was like $450 before the adapter for my camera.

    I know some of it. I am still a film student. Just started my 2nd year of 3 so I am still learning. :) We have only had 2 classes thus far that weren't the basic stuff I had to do for my degree so lots to learn still. As for a dolly shot that and a jib are on my list of equipment to get in...

    I have never seen Hard Candy but from the description I can see where it would look somewhat similar. The main difference I see in ours and theirs is ours is set in the fairy tale world where as theirs focuses on online predators. I was also reading on IMDB where the writer claims he never...

    This was written, filmed and edited in 6 hours for a contest. That includes the making of the costume for Red. We were limited by how much time we had to do all the tasks and the fact that we could only have 1 -2 minutes of footage for the contest. There is more footage that was shot just not...

    This was shot during Full Sail University's 6 hour film contest. We had exactly 6 hour to write, shoot, and edit our film with a mystery prop. We were given a mystery prop the day of and it turned out to be a plastic water bottle. Sweet Lil Red is a dark twist on Little Red Riding Hood and we...

    lighting Better to film at night or do light to night? [need help]

    Test both? Shoot a scene at night where you want to shoot, shoot the same scene in the day and do day to night correction. No one can tell you which is best since it is your film and you know the look you are going for with it.

    Sweet Dreams asks the question: What would happen if every time you closed your eyes you entered into a horror movie. This was created for Film Riot's Monday Challenge Halloween but can also stand alone as a short film. I hope you guys enjoy it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvtSQYH2z3Y

    Where should I start?

    This is true, in my haste I made a mistake. It was shot on a 16 mm black and white film in a Arri 16 SR2 camera.
