Gh2 and a pro-level audio recorder like Alcove suggested.... thats your biggest bang for the buck for sure... On a side note, I think I'm going to invent a cradle that snaps onto headphones that the boom can pivot on...

Thanks Knightly..... There are a lot of really talented people here. Ive just started working on a project with some of them. Its hard to keep up with who does what.... Maybe we need a simple list of "the pros" and their specialty to use as a go-to source for projects.....

Let me google that for you. :P

Knightly offers good advice.. I buy all of my stuff from BITY. The youtube videos they have posted are great resources.... All of these were made from gel-10 and mold material from BITY. I got a call from the director the night before this picture was taken telling me that they were changing...

Yes I host it. I have total control over it that way... I dont know of any negative points about hosting it myself....

CG is just a tool.... Bad movies, consumer sheep and the relentless stream of unnecessary remakes is destroying the movie going experience.

I do any type of VFX work.... 3D, particle effects, compositing, animation.... You can see some of my work on my site.

B&H is a reputable company and newegg has went out of their way on more than once to help me..... Either of those. What brianluce said is solid advice..... 50mm prime FD (canon) mount is a great all around lens. Keep in mind you wont have autofocus like you have on the lens that comes with...

The usual workflow is to import your footage or ”plate” into maya and set your camera and lighting to match. You should render your sequences to match the frame size of your footage. You can render smaller images to comp into the background but rendering 1:1 will generally give you better...

Frank is dead on with his post. I usually start by shooting two or three panning wide shots and use those as my ”base” in the editor. Shoot everything; the band setting up, hanging between shots talking, etc. Remember youre usually only looking for that one second of something interesting or...

I'm no expert, but heres my $0.02 I have a small PA system I use for shooting music videos. If your shooting a band playing, you have to get the track louder than the drums for everyone to hear correctly. If the band really knows the song, you maybe able to get away with having them play it...

I saw a video years ago on low-tech drywall hits. The guy attached a washer to piano wire, punched holes in the sheetrock with a small nail and threaded the wire through the holes so the washer is flush with the back of the sheetrock. He cut all the wires a few inches longer than the previous...

I use Feng Office.. http://www.fengoffice.com/web/ which is great. There is a community edition that is free (you have to host it). It lets me assign users to tasks, gives the users their own private "workspace", has a shared calendar, document upload, task tracking, etc, etc.... Integration...

Is it a paid gig? If so I can help you out.

I use this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/freefilesync/ Its free... pretty simple to use. Some paid options: http://pc-backup-review.toptenreviews.com/

Its not a full-on scheduling app for sure, but it works and the price is right. You'll need to make sure your script is tagged properly (actors, locations, props, etc) and then run reports on all the locations and actors. This will give you a good starting point. If you cut and paste into a new...
