Schools are typically pretty easy to rent out as long as there aren't any events going on. It's going to look like a school gymnasium though, seems like it would take air to dress it up. Wood floors, wood bleachers and banners/logos everywhere. What about an actual amatuer wrestling/boxing...

I was going to say, he described an Epic ha. For sure, it's a camera worth dreaming about!

Yes

Haha, people have the preferences for sure, but aside from what you listed the C100 (iffy) but C300 and C500 for sure are worth considering, plus the 1DC and every other Canon DSLR. I know your opinions towards the Canons in general, but it's hard to argue against their high end stuff. Plus...

EF-S is Canon's crop-sensor-only lens mount. Cameras that accept EF-S also accept EF. Cameras that accept EF don't always accept EF-S however. Canon's full frame cameras and I believe their cinema cameras too only accept EF. It's all about the distance form the sensor and the coverage of the...

The big advantage of EF is the multitude of cameras that accept it. Glass can last a lifetime, lots of guys here are using 30-40 year old lenses today. Canon DSLR's, Canon Cinema Cameras, Blackmagic Cinema and Production cameras all use EF natively and it adapts well to Sony's mount on their...

I've actually worked with several non-profits that work with kids and we've made quite a few shorts with them. I hear you on wanting to include everyone, you should. Some of the ways we've included every kid is by putting them in the background of some scenes, shooting quick bits with them even...

It's a side effect of the UV filter, in many lower light situations it'll pick up some glare that your lens won't see. Live dangerously, pop it off and get the shot! Matteboxes still help for this too.

Sorry man, didn't mean to light your fuse. People disagree on the internet. I was going by B&H: Pansonic 14mm on B&H = $325 I got my Rokinon 14mm for $350, but market value is usually closer to $400: Samyang 14mm at B&H - $379 I gave hom my advice, you gave him yours. What difference is it...

The Panasonic is only a little bit less expensive and you aren't using autofocus in video anyway. It'll only be compatible with a few other cameras in the future as well (Panasonic's EVIL line). Rokinon/Samyang is a little more, but the cine version has geared teeth and the EF mount will work...

Yeah, they're all great. The fisheye has it's place for sure, but on the wide end I'd stick with the 14mm. It has just enough distortion to give the shot character but not enough to be out of place.

I've used a Sigma Prime on a Canon before and was pretty disappointed. Super soft. Go Rokinon/Samyang/Bower. There are a couple that are MFT mount, but you can get the Cine versions in EF and adapt it for an extra $20. EF is a pretty popular mount these days so it's more future proof, totally...

Curved, like a fisheye?

Here are some ideas: 1. Get permission. Permits/insurance really aren't that expensive or unobtainable. 2. Shoot guerrilla with noise. 3. Shoot on a better lit street. There's an led billboard near me and at night I'd be willing to bet it's brighter than the sun. 4. Build a set. Use your...

Figured it could, but OP said that he couldn't import a JPG.

Yeah you need light up close for rain, but time lapses rely on big movement over time. Rain is fast and random you won't see any consistent movement in a time lapse. Where to focus? Good place to start for time lapses are landscapes. Find a nice skyline or a good cloudy day. Sunsets and...

I'm a huge Warehouse 13 fan, but most of their subtitle for time and location are pretty cheesy. They usually work with the lighter mood of the show but I think it was a risky move and would avoid anything like that in something you're hoping to sell. If you've already sold it and you know...

Scan lines is one term, and if you want them to be visible through different sizes you need to make them big. I've always used photoshop. Define a pattern, fill an alpha channel with that pattern, select the area of the channel, fill a layer and there you go. A lot easier and less render...

Do you use a tripod?

Lenses don't produce noise, ISO (gain) does. 1.4 is going to let you make a way brighter image than 3.4-5.6. Many stops brighter. That means you're ISO can be lower going you less noise. I'm really not trying to be insulting, I'm sorry if it comes off that way, but it's pretty apparent...
