It's the same with recording tape. I enjoy recording certain musical instruments for albums onto tape and then transferring it to digital, but it's not too viable anymore because it's not being made much and hard to find.

I agree with Gonzo, In some ways, being a sound designer and final mixer for a large film is more dangerous and difficult than being a lawyer on a high-profile celeb murder case. In some ways the mentioned ad is equivalent to someone crag-listing the position as OJ's defense lawyer "to work...

@Alcove I've never really thought of Pixar films as being strictly children films but I do see your point.

Thanks everyone for your insights - very good indeed. @Nick Big star? Director of A Bug's Life, Wall-E and Finding Nemo isn't big enough for ya? :)

That's true, but when exactly would you use 1.4? I own a Super-Takumar 1.4 and I shoot a lot of still shots at 1.4 but just for fun. I rarely use it wide open in video because it's way too thin of DOF. I suggest you look at the original MIR-1s. It's a russian lens, 37mm f/2.8 made in the 60s...

What camera are you using? 35 mils are not wide at all - in fact on a crop sensor they are about 50mm in equivalent, so if you're looking for those beautiful wide estab shots, you're not going to get that with a T3i or T2i or even a M43s, That is, if you have a 5D you're ok - but even still...

@Brian What about the D800? I'm surprised this board hasn't caught on fire for that thing.

hehe. You've got a bit of the Inception music in there. "BWAHHHHHHHH"

Yeh - So kids are saving their lawn-mowing money for next week instead of blowing it on John Carter? It'll be interesting to see how Hunger Games does. The preview also made the CG aliens seem too Jar Jar Binks-ish to me, which turned me off a bit. In the preview, too, the main actor also...

I got it from Yahoo!, http://movies.yahoo.com/news/john-carter-loss-expected-200m-205152656.html Yours is probably right, but c'mon. 10 mil is chump change in this game. @DeJager 'tis true, but how many people have said "I love the books"? I know of at least 8 people I know who told me that...

43.7 mil in 10 days? Loss of approx 200? Where is Les Grossman when you need him? What went wrong on this one?

@Gonzo I met Frazetta once :) @Op Sad to say, I can't believe what I am seeing on these stats. It's a flop per the box office but just about anyone I speak to about it says they loved it. What went wrong on this one?

Nicely put together. I think you have a firm grounding in cutting sound effects to picture. Everything was pretty well in sync. Now, I personally think some of the sounds sounded a bit too canned, like the gunshots and footsteps and punches, but I think you did a good job technically cutting it...

lol...

I'm glad I made you smile :) That's what I like doing. Sometimes I just randomly start talking like Arnold Schwartzeneggar in public. @Ray I never understood why people put shower curtain rings inside their ear lobe to stretch them out... No offense to anyone, but what are you going to do 20...

Tin Tin Loved it. Over the top but tasteful. Loved Andy Circus. And I'm partial because one of my best friends had a small part in it.

Cool! I thought the video the Op made here is fantastic. Love the color. What program did you use to correct the color, op?

I don't like the video one bit. He said that on my birthday (April 20th) they are going to litter the streets of every city with propaganda against this person from Africa, when really they should all be hanging Happy Birthday signs for me...

Hmm. Guess you didn't like it, wheat?

@Steve TV shows tend to put together palettes and drag n' drop ambiences and things for their shows. It's pretty ingenious how some of the FX editors do it now-a-days. On one prime-time show that switched studios I spoke to the guy who was doing the sound and at one point they thought the show...
