That looks pretty decent. I've been trying to find an FD 17mm myself, but they are getting pricey on ebay.

Cool! Let me check it out.

Oh, man, It's too hot and humid to shoot in Florida for 4-5 months a year. All of your EXT shots will feature talent with wet hair and pit stains. lol :lol:

I tried. Covering the top and bottom 1/8 of the screen was too much? :)

It would be an approximation with a 7D. The best I can explain is this: for that aspect ratio, divide 1920 by 2.35 which gives you 817, so your image size will be 1920 X 817. It's approximately 1/4 less vertical height than 1080. So, approximate (subtract) about 1/8th off both the top and bottom...

Cool. Now I have some studying to do. Thanks Josh and all!

Well, most festivals seem to require QT and if you send in another format they likely will not even screen it. Besides, you want to keep compression to a minimum on the big screen. It may look fine on a laptop screen, but that's about the upper extent. Steve - those will work on PC's, but not...

What are people doing to skirt/avoid the 4GB file size limitation on SD cards formatted in FAT32? I recently had to downres an 8 minute short to 720P and encode to prores LT to get it under the limit. I worked and looked acceptable, but there has to be a better way. Not knowing what the...

Jeez, Jeff, you have a birthday every year. Stop being so dramatic and stop asking Steve to do these things! A little dignity goes a long way.

I took a breather myself, ROC, and developed a dirty lens fetish.

Amazing. I have the exact same collection. All f/2.8 except the 50mm which is a f/1.4. The fast 85's are rare and pricey, too.

My apologies. I have no knowledge of what the contest is for. If they do require lossless final delivery, the probably would have required at least a 442 color space for the camera I would think. Anyhow, cheers!

I hear you, jax, but a lossless codec wasn't specified. Besides 422 and 4444 are lossy in their own right in post as an intermediary. This is a film festival that likely still plays DVD's if submitted.

I don't think it really has to be a Quicktime file because Quicktime player plays MP4's just fine. I just played one on a Mac just to make sure. .mov files are for people stuck in 32 bit world and think that's the only professional format, IMO.

More cow bell! ;)

The "after" picture was much better. Chromatic aberration...gone! ;0

There are other ways: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GVCgTFw2Qk Oops, you'll have to use the YouTube link.

That will help! Thanks.

Haha! I bought a light meter and still haven't learned to use it. Not exactly straight forward.
