    Hair Salon videos(examples please?)

    Hi there, I'm going to be making a promo video for a hair salon that will be played on a tv display by the shop window. It's got to be fast paced and eye catching for people that walk by. I've already got some ideas but I wanna watch some examples of other hair salon videos so I can get some...

    Steadicam Merlin issue

    lighting Is this light any good?

    Umm I think I'll leave it for now then....I'd rather not burn my house down, electrocute anyone or get put in jail for manslaughter. Maybe later on I'll slowly buy some second hand brand name lights off ebay or some Fresnels.

    Steadicam Merlin issue

    I've just got a Steadicam Merlin for a ridiculously good price to use with my Canon 550d and Samyang 14mm and peleng 8mm(The steadicam is in the shot with this lens so its not usable :[! ) What's annoying me is that the metal plate that goes underneath the camera with all the wholes allows the...

    lighting Is this light any good?

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170921748101?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 I'm looking to invest a little bit more in lighting as at the moment I only have an LED light and a reflector for lighting lol. This one seems fairly affordable, do you think it's a good deal and a...

    How much to charge for promotional video?

    Which shots have the wrong white balance? Is it the shots of the guy making the drink with the orange background? You may be right or that may just be bad colour correction on my behalf, I'll hold my hands up to that. If you mean the shots in the beginning, thats how I intended it to look and...

    Client from hell... can i withdraw my offering?

    Lol oh man your situation sounds like a nightmare, the few bits of footage you managed to get actually looks nice though, but the song is atrocious lol... The first music video I did for a client was almost as bad of an experience. We were meant to do a rap music video, we never received the...

    How much to charge for promotional video?

    Hi there, me and a friend started a mini production company a year or so ago, we wanna work freelance and create videos for clients. We did quite a lot of stuff for free to gain experience, make contacts and build up a portfolio. We've had some paying customers but as were still starting off(and...

    BlackMagic announces new camera

    The pocket cinema camera has me intrigued... How do you guys think it will fare against the Canon dslrs in terms of video quality? Will it put the 5d mk iii and 7d to shame?

    How many credits should you give yourself in your own film?

    I wrote, directed, produced and edited my recent short film. However my actress told me that you should only credit yourself twice(maximum) in your own film? Is that true? Why? I'm willing to just credit myself as Writer and Director, then for producer I can just list my production company. I...

    editing mixing 50fps and 15fps(timelapse) footage? HELP

    Actually I'm not too sure if were gonna be exporting as 50fps or not. I just assumed we would since thats what we filmed at. It may end up being 25fps. Any ideas if that would affect the timelapse stuff which is at 15 fps?

    editing mixing 50fps and 15fps(timelapse) footage? HELP

    Okay so we have filmed a documentary with a Canon XF305, the footage is 50fps. We're editing on Avid. We also got some timelapse photography on a Canon 550d. I put these timelapses together on Quicktime Pro and Adobe Premiere as 15fps(I still haven't exported the whole thing yet though). When I...

    editing External audio recordings sound very echoey?

    Ugh now that you mention it, I don't think for that scene the sound was even coming through the Sennheiser, it must have been recording through the internal mic on the Marantz! Even for the close up shots where she could have had the mic very close to the actor it sounds like the mic is far away...

    editing External audio recordings sound very echoey?

    I had no idea that was the case, what sort of mic works best for small indoor locations then? I'll try and find out the exact model of the senheisser mic and post it here later. It was on a boom pole and usually held above the actors. Maybe it was probably not close enough to them? Yeah the...

    editing External audio recordings sound very echoey?

    We finished filming my short film recently. We filmed with a Canon 550d and recorded audio with a Marantz pmd 660 and a Senheisser mic. I don't know the exact model but it should be a very good mic, it looks like this: I had 3 different sound people for each shoot day(time issues). On the...

Something with a nice romantic vibe such as this song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2w8MqpdgOEg Preferably with singing but it doesn't have to have singing. If anyone knows of any unsigned artists or websites where I can...

    Canon 5d MKii vs Panasonic GH3

    Peleng 8mm Samyang 14mm Canon 28mm 2.8 Canon 50mm 1.8 Sigma 70 - 300mm Eventually I'd like the canon 85mm 1.8 aswell. I've got 2 manual aperture lenses, but the other ones are all electronic. I've just watched Philip Bloom's Gh3 short film and it looks ridiculously cinematic, good enough for...

    Canon 5d MKii vs Panasonic GH3

    Damn that's a bit of a let down. I never even looked at the Panasonic cameras before, but when I heard that Upstream Color was filmed with a hacked GH2 and even Francis Ford Coppolla likes the GH2 it made me consider the GH3...
