Seeing how the file is only 220k, you may have uploded a QuickTime reference file. Make sure you export your film to a QuickTime self contained file.

Maybe this would be a bad time to mention I own two ZenWeasel Films hats...

I have to admit I am having quite a bit of trouble with this. This may be due to the fact that I am not very familiar with the genre - I watch very few horror films and it has definitely never crossed my mind to make one. I am trying though! However, when I have an idea that I like (has some...

With such worthy competition, I have to create something, then if I lose (not bloody likely) it won't seem so bad. I must say I do feel very much like a fish out of water as I'm currently in NE Ohio (a bit far from my normal filming habitat). I don't even know where to start... I know Ohio...

Cool! Looks very nice, but I would opt for the black as WideShot mentioned.

Will you have a model for Canon XL cameras?

I've done lots of side by side comparisons between Sorenson Video (3 Pro) and mpeg4. Sometimes the differences were subtle. The footage that is being compressed plays a crucial role sometimes. Generally, in my opinion, given the same bitrate, SV3 Pro produces a sharper image (mpeg4 tends to...

Here I would recommend QuickTime, in particular with the following two codecs: Sorenson Video Pro (not basic) for video, and QDesign Music 2 Pro for audio (or mp3 but bigger size for same quiality). That would give you the best image/audio with the smalest file size for progressive download...

Hey Clive, I've done quite a bit of research on this topic as I shoot PAL and live in an NTSC country. I strongly recommend against using Final Cut Pro (4.x) to do the conversion for you. This method yields very poor results as FCP does not utilize the complex algorithms required to perform...

I know different manufacturers use different metal particle designs. Some are oil based. I read about all this long ago. I don't remember details. But some leave residues which may require a cleaning casette. My NTSC camera is my 'bitch' camera. I would not want to put a tape from my other...

Here's a topic that very few probably have to deal with: Most people recommend against mixing tape brands. I only use Panasonic Pro tapes for my PAL camera. It would be convenient to rewind these in my other camera, which is NTSC and in which I used just about all brands. Obviously the NTSC...

Me either, so please relax. My comment was based on my experiences. I demanded a lot from my PC and my Mac. My first Mac was slower and older than my PC. I don't feel I am biased in any way. I remember when I first used Mac (Mac OS 9.x) I found it very akward. Just changing the volume was...

Microsoft makes Windows XP Pro and Home. One crashes often, the other [much more] often. Interesting to note that Apple makes only one version of OS X. I believe this version is (so much) richer in features, secuirty and stability than any version of Windows money can buy today. Besides...

Anyone have any experience shooting an outdoor scene during the day and manipulating the footage in post to make it look as if the events are occuring at night? I remember the rock climbing scene in Deliverance was shot this way. Any suggestions? Filters, lighting, effects, etc...

Firewire is actually 400 Mbps (not 200) and USB 2.0 is 480 Mbps (not 240). Firewire 800 is 800 Mbps. If you decide to get a Mac at some point, you can boot from Firewire drives. USB 2.0 drives vary in that aspect.

Just for kicks, would a sword be acceptable?

I've seen Body Worlds 2. I've been blown away to say the least.

I think about 50ft on average (but many factors may make that number much smaller - router, walls, etc). Starbucks does not have free wireless internet access. You have to have an account with T-mobile (you must log in to use it). I don't know about Panera. I don't know what confuses...

Never heard of the letus adaptor but I've stumbled accross the guerilla35 adapter which looks a little more promising. (http://www.guerilla35.com/). I'm not in LA at the moment either (2600 miles north east). Perhaps another time. ;) I have some nice 1:1.7 primes that got me all excited...

Just to clarify here, vegasindiestv, Bluetooth is a wireless standard that is used to connect Bluethooth devices (PDAs, Cell phones, keyboards, mice, etc....). You can even connect two macs together if they have Bluetooth, but it's too slow to move large files. You cannot use Bluetooth to...
