Thanks Buddy, I think the shallow focus that our kit allowed us to achieve is what makes it stand out for me. Yeah I agree with you there - although, obviously it's not really my decision as I was just working with the cinematographer (who is also the director and editor) Glad you like the...

I wasn't sure whether this counts as promotion or not because I'm only really looking for your opinions and feedback etc. But the producer has asked me to post this around as he is attempting to get some crowd funding for distribution at the moment - so I suppose it's a bit of both. Anyway...

Well it really depends on your production design as to what colours you need. If you're after some gels to balance the light temperature you'll need some CTBs or a roll of CTO. For a surreal look you may want to try out some different colour gels. Lee Filters will provide you with a sample...

Yeah it was good man, really liked it. Good effort on the production design.

Some nice shots in there... it's nice to see some test footage that's had some production design put into it. I've recently bought the 550d myself & I'll hopefully be sharing my new music video with you guys soon. What lens did you use?

Hey, I'm shooting with the SGblade converter, mounted on a shoot35 mount. It's our biggest scene - a concert set-piece tomorrow, and the thumbscrew that attaches the mount to the SGblade has gone missing. I urgently need to know the size measurements of the thumbscrew that does this job so I...

If it's hurting you, I'd suggest turning it off. Just a suggestion like.

THANKYOU ROC - this answers my question perfectly I bloody love indietalk SMITH

Hey, I could use some advice on what's best when it comes to recording sound for a party scene. The scene involves two characters having a conversation over music at a house party. Is it best to play the music and record their voices at the same time, or to have them speak as if they are...

To be honest, at this level, when the image quality is awesome in both cameras, I think there are better ways to spend the extra £150ish that the Panasonic GH1 would cost (buy another prime lens!). Also, do you really want the hassle of having to do a hack as soon as you get it to make the...

To be honest, I thought I would miss a tilting screen a lot more than I actually do and the size and clarity of the screen is awesome anyway. I have the kit lens and access to a 50mm prime (the f1.4 - but I've never used it that wide). I think for the reasons you have mentioned that it would...

I'm a student in the UK and I've got the 550d. It's absolutely epic, definitely nothing to touch it in the price range. Don't be put off by the fact that it's a stills camera, the video mode has every manual feature that you're going to need at this level. I've just shot my first music video...

Oh - just saw your new post, nice camera! I have the 550d - not as pro, but still pretty decent.

Nice, stunning visuals. What camera did you shoot it on - a digital SLR?

Ah, just re-read your post, you want editing software... well Final cut pro if you've got a mac. Maybe drop down to the 7D or the T2i if the 5D is busting the bank

If you do decide to get the T2i, I'd recommend a 50mm f1.8 prime lens - perfect for low-light shots because of the wide aperture and it wont break the bank at $100.

I think that it's amusing from an entertainment point of view, but your message sucks. "Look at all these people looking at paintings in a show put on by BP, while their oil rig is leaking". I don't understand why you are so against them advertising, it's not like they deliberately caused the...

Screenwriting: "Screenplay - the foundations of Screenwriting" by Syd Field - I can't believe that nobody's mentioned this!

Hey Papertwin, I'm looking to insure a weekend shoot in the UK - any chance you could give me the details of the company you use? Smith
