    Do I really need a Producer?

    To find out what a producer does, watch the MTV Movie Awards intro with Les Grossman from 2009 I think it was.. He basically sets up the production so it can happen. He coordinates the schedule, coordinates the personnel, coordinates what post production house you use, etc. On a smaller scale...

    Super Cheap Shotgun mics for $30

    I think Audio is possibly the only field where the money you spend is equivalent to the quality you get, bar a few exceptions. Aside from some "name brands" (meaning equipment that have an engineer's name tagged on it to make it sound better), very often I've found you get what you pay for with...

    Work in movies. Not television.

    One thing I hate about Television is the production value, and don't get me wrong. To work in TV you have to be talented and extremely quick, but I personally like how films allow for slightly longer production schedules and more time to get it artistically correct. I just watched a bit of...

    Canon 600D - Thoughts? Wisdom?

    Great job! Good choice, I think. I highly recommend the Super-Takumar 50mm f/1.4. One of the best lenses I've got, though, is the Canon 10-22mm

    Canon T2i

    I got a Helios 44-2 (58mm f/2.0) for $6 off of e-bay. The shipping cost more than I won the lens for... Perfect lens for rack focuses and swirly bokeh.

    Opinions Please: California or Florida?

    If I were in your shoes, I'd check out San Francisco. Big film community there and of course, Skywalker Sound ;)

    Phil - I don't get what you are selling. From an audience point of view, I did not know what to think about it. Was it a commercial for coffee? For a brand of coffee makers? Also, a tip from the industry: Always put the logo in the commercial for at least 5 seconds or more if you can. When...

    I made my decision

    No no no no no. You made the wrong choice. Why don't you ponder over it a little longer before you start shooting and learning? Here is a link to a review where they compared a Sony A65 to a T3i, to a GH2, to a picture flip-book, to a security camera, to a Sony Bloggie cam, to an iPod Nano...

    What made you smile today?

    A troll indeed... I laughed at a joke a colleague told me today: 2 actresses are standing in line for an audition. The first actress tells the other "I'm going to f&*$ the Producer to get this gig. And maybe the Director. Who are you going to f*$*?" The other says "The sound guy." The first...

    Canon 600D - Thoughts? Wisdom?

    Hey man, I, too, was in your exact spot. I decided to go with the T3i. I barely use the kit lens, because I instantly bought a Super Takumar 50mm f/1.4, a nifty fifty (50mm f/1.8 Canon lens), a 10-22mm Canon lens, a 37mm f/2.8 MIR 1 lens, and a 58mm f/2.0 44-2 Helios lens. I second the...

    Absolutely brilliant. I would only critique the interview audio - put more blankets up and put the mic a bit closer! I hear too many room reflections on those voices, boy! :)
