Wow, that looks really interesting. Thanks for the linkage Clive.

Excellent, thanks Clive, some very well put info there. :)

No, sadly, it's not under warrenty. Yes all the tapes I used are new. Sony Premium DVM60's. I bought four. Shot a whole tape's worth of test shots that day. Everything looks good on that tape. When I started using the second tape I got this, cleaned the heads and tried the other two tapes and...

Started seeing this today. I shot some day for night tests with a PD 150 and the whole tape is fine. After dinner I was shooting some interior stuff with new tape and I get this... http://allknightproductions.com/clips/what_the.wmv Tried four clean tapes and they all do it so I'm thinking it's...

As an exercise, I have come to understand the pure joy of writing a silent film. No dialog. What about the other end of the spectrum? Is there some trick to keeping an all dialog scene interesting? Immediately my mind starts to wander to different shots of two people doing different things...

Math check... 1 terabyte = 1024 gigabytes 4 x 250 GB is 1000 GB's or a close shave under one terabyte, not half. You're closer than you thought Knightly. ;)

Best possible, my guess would be Avid. However, when I was looking for my NLE I demo'd them all first and found out that there was something about Sony Vegas that just fit my style. It was like swimming. I bought it and haven't looked back since. JMTCW

Holy crap I did the same thing. I actually had a network security friend tell me but it works wonderfully for me too.

Thanks for the help guys and gals. This kid is young and I didn't want to stear him wrong.

I have been asked to critique a script and during the back and forth banter it became clear that the script I critiqued was part one of a three part series of movies this guy wants to write. He's written this one, it's feature length, parts two and three are going to be the same length (all on...

Oh the writing in the window condensation, wonderful. Nice job.

There was a panel discussion at a local film festival here in west Michigan and the LA crowd mirrored Filmy's advice. I think they said a year's worth of living expenses though. Think of it as another year of tuition. It also helps to look up alum from your film school already in LA and see if...

I've always liked new gadgets. I embrace change. Not sure how the market is for those pricey drives but my budget won't allow me to leave tape any time soon. Come on lotto ticket, come on.

Defiantly learn from the reviews but don't take them personally. Anybody who cares will critique your film making and not you the person. A review or critique that attacks you as a person instead of you the film maker can just get thrown in the trash were it belongs. Having a cabel of trusted...

We use a Sony MZ-M100 disk player. 1GB disks go a long way, extened battery life means the sound guy is free to roam. It captures un-compressed sound in a wav file. It's worked really well for us if you don't mind the hassle of having to slate every thing. Getting the mic as close to the source...

Cypm ;)

I must say this is quite a different stance your taking now. You wrote this post huh?

I have to admit, you (and your passion for teaching what you know) are one of the reasons I picked up a camera. I came here looking for fellow writers. So in that spirit, are you asking for critiques?

We may have some of this coming up so I looked around. I found one that utilizes my particular brand of NLE (I'm not advertising, just stating a fact) but the process works the same no matter what you record with so I'll post the link...

Oh man. There are a few things I wish this site had and this is one of them; except poor knightly is the only one doing it. This thread should be HUGE! Well the idea is a really good one, thanks knightly. :cool: How to light a given scene. I must admit, I would rather throw my whole budget at a...
