    Any Goonies fans here?

    I don’t think I’ve heard of anyone who didn’t like The Goonies. The book could be monstrously huge. Good luck and congrats. -Thanks-

    Help with controlling a balloon

    When using the fishing line, maybe add a large noticeable free floating string or ribbon to the balloon so our attention is drawn to it. If the fishing line is connected to the child and to the helium balloon and the fake ribbon is floating just out of the child’s reach, then the child is always...

    lighting Black background with bright middle lighting?

    Don’t forget about the table surface, and blow out. If the table is for instance white, it can reflect a lot of light back up which might or might not be useful. Depending on camera position and light position and human position –and size and type of light, a white table top could help in...

    Sony Z1 mounting bolt

    I like your idea to grind it off Wheat, it's just as easy as as using a clip of somekind. I'm almost the same way with 1/4-20, I had/have 3 boxes of them in the mix, and can now spot one in nut or bolt from across the room. It might be the nerdiest thing I've ever said, but it's a good...

    Should we have a micro 4/3 thread?

    I really like the feature set and practical shape of the AF100, but it’s just too expensive for me. If I had that kind of cash, or was making money off gear it would be a pretty exciting option. Some beautiful images from the GH2. -Thanks-

    Sony Z1 mounting bolt

    Yeah the retainer kind of clips I use are usually just a ultra thin copper washer that is tight enough to hold the screw from falling out (Like a nut) but still allows it to turn. It's easier if whatever you are mounting to is countersunk so that the clip or washer is down in the little well. I...

    how much is the scarlet going to cost?

    Interesting development (At the link). The ensuing bickering that followed it was semi entertaining for awhile too. -Thanks-

    archived-videos LIFE IN A DAY - Ridley Scott's Request

    That’s great Lewis (Congrats). I liked your footage, there is something different about it that I can’t really put my finger on, but that I can see as being easy to work with on a number of potential levels, which is to say if you added creepy music (and sounds) it could work well for that kind...

    Sony Z1 mounting bolt

    I started to make a shoulder mount the other day and found this sweet piece I had saved for was broken. What did you make the shoulder section from? -Thanks-

    I'll be watching you.

    Like a… Some are saying “I sure do miss him.” :( and you are saying “But I’m still here, hey!!”, yet no one can see you, or no one knows you kind of thing? Mr. Potter, nemesis in It’s a Wonderful Life? Tiny Tim, the crippled boy in A Christmas Carol? Coming into focus now? -Thanks-

    If only Cracker had been nicer to Tiny Tim and Mr Potter. :( -Thanks-

    Fake Previews/Trailers

    One of the regulars here (M1chael I think) posted a thread featuring a trailer that was shot as a means to attract funding, but I don’t remember where that thread was, or what the film was called. Maybe he will see this and offer his insights, or maybe someone else remembers that thread. -Thanks-

    I thought maybe it was a mockumentary, or like.. a Robert Altman film, for some weird reason. lol (I’ve just heard the title before, thought it was a film.) -Thanks-
