    editing Windows and overexposure

    "Fixing it in post", this is one of the toughest things to fix like that. You best chance is to play with the gamma and get the lows to come up, or do a curve in the curves control so that the lows come up but the highs don't. How do you fix it when shooting? Shoot at night and create your...

    computer for editing thats under 1,000

    Michael, If I were building just an editing computer I would replace the 9800GTX+ for anything else. You only need the 3d horsepower for gaming, not for editing. Additionally, the Mobo does not need SLI support, as I imagine the furthest thing from any editors mind would be using two video...

    editing rendering in vegas ... problems

    Please show us some stills of what you are seeing, or if possible, a small clip or something. If the jaggies weren't in the original footage, they shouldn't be in the final footage, especially when downressed to DVD. so undoubtedly, there is something going wrong in the process here.

    cinematography Neutral Density Filter?

    "...For example, Tiffen and B+W have 0.3, 0.6 and 0.9 ND filters for reducing one, two and three stops of light. Hoya, on the other hand, uses 2×, 4× and 8× to indicate reducing 1 (i.e. 2=21), 2 (i.e., 4=22), and 3 (i.e., 8=23) stops. The two ND filters come with Nikon's Coolpack are of ND4 and...

    Achieving The "Film Look" With Video

    Perth is beautiful here's some tips to using a 35mm adapter: 1) Make sure there's no vignetting 2) ALWAYS avoid white blowouts - they are one of the surefire giveaways of video (use zebra stripes) - Film quite possibly never blows out if exposed properly because it has nearly 25 stops of...

    DoF' 35mmm adapter plz help

    Yes, to be clear, there are two types of adapters - the kind that simply allows you to use 35mm lenses on your camera (sometimes it is built into the camera to make for interchangable lenses). The other kind produces a shallow depth of field effect by essentially replicating a film camera's...

    cinematography 35mm Adapter necessary?

    This is the problem with technology, people think they need it to be professional. Just remember: A great DP can shoot with a VHS camera and achieve great results with lighting, camera angles, and a good director at the helm, and a good art department to design sets. A bad DP can shoot on...

    Cheap 8mm or 16mm Film Cameras?

    Ebay is where I buy all of my stuff but if you dont know what look for, it could be bad. Do you know what you're looking for? You should considering how much more expensive it is to shoot 16mm than 8mm. Are you looking for sound sync or not?

    Tripod for Canon XH-A1?

    That's more than suitable. It will support up to 22lbs. The A1 is nowhere close to that. I have a 116 Manfrotto head and it is a tank, but it glides awesome. Seriously, unless you're really looking to spend a lot and get a killer tripod, you could probably settle for less.

    Why Choose HD?

    have you gone to a store and looked at the difference between proper HD and SD? The difference is night and day. There simply is no replacement for resolution. That said, all kinds of projects can still be filmed in SD like projects for the web. Its just that it almost makes more sense to...

    computer for editing thats under 1,000

    Its not just about buying a system, its about understanding the software and settings. Each aspect requires some very in depth details. ANY modern computer should be able to put out as flawless of a render and DVD as any other. It just takes a lot longer on slower computers. The reasons are...

    YouTube -- Can a filmmaker make MONEY?

    six figures? Im sure most normal you tubers who are popular barely make 5 digits. I know Baratz and Bereta personally and they have an exclusive deal. I haven't asked them specifically how much the deal was but I doubt it was six figures.

    Filters: Which ones and which sizes?

    You might send Clive a PM, he's in the UK, he probably knows all the best places to shop there. In the States, we always suggest B&H, but I've also had good experience with Adorama, and Samy's on the west coast. Also, I wouldn't get "protection glass" just use the UV filter... its like $10...
