when i was a little tyke i would cry at the end of 'land before time'. EVERY time. partially because it was sad, partially because it was over :D now a days, the only film I can remember that ever made me cry was the pursuit of happyness. which isnt even one of my favorites. i almost cried...

well they finally put 24p mode under 1080p, so having that available idk why you would ever need to use 720? i guess if you were trying to use less storage, which i think canon could care less about. also i dont think anyone has experience with this cam because as far as i know it's still not...

forgot to ask about text on sound, thanks alcove. i can always count on you to dictate the importance of sound on this forum! :)

uranium, about your quote of mine: i guess i dont have any specific examples because it hadnt really happened to me, but i see a lot of other people, especially when newbies ask questions that arent the best questions or maybe too general, repliers try to reword their question or criticize it...

good point gonzo, i meant to mention that in my o.p. aside from finding little gems like you found, there are plenty of good examples of what DOESN'T work. haha that certainly saves me some time.

thanks again kosh, these seem to be great resources!

kosh, thank you for the recommendations! its so nice to see someone on this forum answer a question instead of arguing with the o.p why their question is stupid :x also to kosh, from each subject, what books have the best/most/valuable information? caseyhein- i just looked up those interviews...

I wasnt sure where to post this question, so i hope this is okay. I don't ever want to go to school again, but I am very interested in film and I want to learn as much as possible. I have netflix, and damn do i use it! I try to watch as many great films as possible (I absolutely am in love with...

i dont know for sure, but i would imagine that if you had the subject in focus to begin with, and the subject and the camera move together, then it would stay in focus. just a guess

hahah, that was pretty funny. not very strong production values (lighting, editing, camera work, acting) but definitely, definitely funny. and that's probably all you were going for "if i wanted to beat off i wouldve rented the mask"

I plan on purchasing a dslr for video, in which case i will be using a seperate audio recorder and boom mic. i would like some opinions on products, so i have a place to start in my own research. what do some of you think is the best audio set up i can get for $1000, $2000, $3000? which would...

I'm not sure when this was announced but I just read that Canon is coming out with the Rebel T2i. I have been wanting the 7d so bad but its out of my range, I was going to settle on the t1i but it lacks some features, but now I will be waitin for the t2i which has the same 18mp sensor as 7d...

are chances of success higher by trying to sell a screenplay, or making the film yourself, getting into a fest, and getting distributed?

This is a good tip. I think everyone else was mostly refering to stories whose rights are already public (right? after 40 years anyone can use it. or is that just music?) If anything I would probably rip off (i use that term lightly) a newer-ish book. I'd like to hear more on the situation...

i'd like to check out the one you claimed comparable to 'i spit on your grave'

i dont really care that much about dof. i just want good pic quality

is the difference between 24p and 30p really that noticeable? i mean i understand the relation between 24p and film, but does it really matter much more than some subconscious recongnition? or is that just your preference?

i use premiere cs4 on my mbp. idk how much it costs, i got the adobe master collection for free :)

are you implying that if you have a shallow depth of field that ur project will look cinematic? that is not a very good generalization at all... i woud argue that you dont need a shallow dof at all to achieve a cinematic look. personally i think it is a very overused technique by digital...

i'm so glad m1chae1 responded to this. i was going to say pretty much the same thing so i'll just give him kudos on what he said!
