I should also add, for anyone thinking of increasing the shutter speed that doing so reduces the time that light is striking the ccd (1/125th of a second is roughly half of the length of time as 1/60th), therefore you will need about a stop more light every time you raise the shutter, and the...

You need to be more specific. Which camera did you shoot the 120fps on? What are you project settings? We can't help you without more information.

What kind of camera? If film, what kind of transfer and at what fps? What is your project settings?

Welcome to Indietalk! :)

"wildest dreams" could mean, this weekend I'd like to do this, and next weekend I want to go on Holiday to South France, because thats one of my wildest dreams, too. Or, it could mean, "I've been dreaming about doing this for years and I am very serious about making a few movies" Which is it...

Thats like asking if I took a driving school whether I would be ready to race a car at the Daytona 500. The answer is, you don't just point a camera and push a button, there is a lot to learn, and a lot of experience needed to reinforce that knowledge before you could know enough to DP a...

Good ambition. But please understand Robert Rodriguez shot dozens of video shorts before he made El Mariachi, and knew a ton about filmmaking, or more importantly, what he needed to do in order to pull off a film on no budget. He shot on 16mm MOS (without sound), because a noisy MOS 16mm Arri...

Sure, it depends on how much controls you have, but a very common setting on even the most basic consumer video cameras allows you to adjust the shutter speed.

It used to be that shooting with an adapter in anything but a well lit scene was like shooting with slow film, around 50 ASA. The new adapters are barely a stop of light loss, so you should be able to get away with shooting with standard cine primes in just about any lighting setup. I will...

Happy B-Day! Today is two of my friend's b-day's too.

I haven't seen Hard Candy and saw 28 days later awhile ago, but I assume its just a fast shutter speed, ala Saving Private Ryan. Fast shutter speeds like 1/125th or 1/250th produces a razor sharp sequence of pictures, but it can be somewhat stuttering to watch compared to typical (1/48th or...

.bup and .ifo files are the information files for a DVD and .vob is a video file on DVD Mpeg-2/DVD is probably the worst thing you could have rendered to if you wanted to edit it on a Mac. Mpeg-2 is probably the worst editing codec out there. Nevertheless, I would assume FCP would have native...

I'm not sure why you would expect to come to a forum and have someone detail for you what entire 200+ page books about. We can answer simple questions here, but if we wanted to write books we would. That said, my advice would be to make a few zero dollar short films before you shoot your...

Titles cannot be protected, so you could name your film Titanic and there is no problem. If you rip off non public facts from the Titanic story then you could have problems. That said, seek as original of a title as you can.

All MiniDV tapes will give you exactly the same PQ. They simply store the digital output of the camera, not frames of analog information. The difference in the price is the materials they are made out of, with the "professional" models offering a greatly reduced number of "dropouts" or other...

Although, clive, the degradation in rendering is usually caused by compression from "lossy" codecs, such as mpeg 1,2,3,4 codecs. Thats why it is crucial, at the earliest point in the post process, to get to at least a lossless or visually lossless codec like Lagarith, HuffyUV, Cineform, or some...

You know its really funny when someone bumps and old thread like this because its like watching a video recording of yourself speaking in the past... you sort of remember it but not completely :P regarding the "downside" I think I meant it more of a statement of fact or a limitation in that you...

:hmm:;)

We're playing a film this year that roughly features a guy who is narrating as he writes in his journal about his girlfriend who was taken from him for a scientific experiment and how much he longs for her. It's pretty interesting just make sure to show really the emotion of their relationship...

is it SD or HDV? Lets clarify something. Regular 24p inside of a pulldown is NORMAL. It is recognizable by most NLE's directly and handled correctly. Canon's HDV 24p is not handled correctly by several NLE's, including Sony Vegas, which I use. It is this way because Canon, in their wisdom...
