I believe 24p settings (probably IVTC) are correct in your project settings. What was the solution for you in case any else has the problem?

For SD I use WinDV and for HDV I use HDVSplit . Check your PM's.

I have a Westinghouse 24" that does 1920x1200 too, and I use it at that res all the time. What can I say, I think its important to be able to see every pixel of my video, but is it necessary? No. But I also enjoy having the extra res on my primary monitor. Anytime you downres from higher res...

Can someone please explain to me the benefit of "entering" my film into an online film festival? Lets say I have a very good quality film, but its not going to push any buttons or have any sex romps. What kind of benefits will I see? TIA

Basically, you can write a script from anything... a news story, a situation you were involved in, etc. I could write a story from me writing this response on a message board... if I could give it some extra life in the way of developing it into a larger concept. Once you see how the idea...

Oh god, why is it politics always seem to happen even on no budget fun shoots? But seriously, the producer buys the script from the writer and brings in a director to shoot the picture. It's the director's vision of the written material, whether that director dictates the shot list in total or...

You can see here: http://www.indietalk.com/index.php?page=memberships Premiere members have "Ability to upload and display an avatar."

The answer is, yes, there is a lot more you need to know if you shoot on anything other than a cartridge load automatic light meter 8mm or 16mm camera. Loading mags, using a light meter, proper storage, embracing film's MASSIVE latitude with your lighting setups, correct fps and shutter...

Rik you continue to earn your guru status on a daily basis But IMHO if you don't know what it takes to shoot a movie on film, you're probably best going a different route. Film is expensive, harder to work with for beginners, and on documentaries for the large part, unnecessary.

And just to add, the VS questions never really have an answer. Each has its own benefits/ downside, you need to decide what is better for you and your project. It also would not hurt to make some friends who are at least semi-pros who already have some equipment. So many people have cameras...

http://www.moviesbymartin.com/EZLeaves/ I just saw this on another forum, and tried it out. It's great, and its free! "EZLeaves is a FREE application that allows to quickly and easily generate custom festival laurel leave images. Features include: * Choose from four different laurel...

Hakim, welcome. I would suggest you search the forums here because people ask these questions every week.

Interesting. I don't even know where to begin other than you should probably contact management (not necessarily the "director" on the red carpet), and let them know how completely unimpressed and dissatisfied you were and you want a refund. If that doesn't work, start working your way up the...

Super 8 movie making has a certain look that many like, especially compared to cheap DV cameras. With the advancements of Kodak and telecine since the 70's, if you want to shoot on film, there is no less expensive way to do so. Of course, its still going to cost a couple hundred to shoot a...

well, I used to have one of these. I threw it away a year ago or so because all it did was remind me of MCHammer pants, Vanilla Ice, and slap bracelets. It would seem like ebay would be your best bet or thrift stores.

Actually, that was really good :) The cinematography didn't seem that bad to me

Welcome. There are tons of threads on indietalk that talk about these issues and many more. Feel free to browse the forums, or use the search feature at the top of the screen. "Basically I was hoping if any of you can give me step 1 through the end to make these plans happen." Well, its not...

Oh come on. Looking at what is going to do better in the marketplace before deciding to make a new product is only good business sense. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it unless you decide to make a genre film that you know nothing about. And to be honest, I don't buy the whole "I'd...

No, I think its really a case where your knowledge and experience is leading you to having intuition that you know better or could do it better or when they make a mistake, that you can point it out. In certain areas, you no longer need to read books (like digital camera operation), which means...

I'm not a DP, but in your first example, it should be "focal distance". Depth of focus could be a synonym for depth of field, but as per that wiki entry, depth of focus true meaning is the distance from lens to film plane, which is really a VERY technical area, because basically since lens...
