The sync issues I come across are when exporting H264/MP4 through the Quicktime codec - playback is fine. As far as ProRes goes, you can download the codec separately from apple - you don't need CS5 to use it (I use it with Vegas).

My only issue with using a PC is (ironically) Apple software - with so many editors using Macs, Quicktime (ProRes and H264) has kind of become the defacto standard for editing and distribution. The PC's out-of-the-box codecs are CRAP and Quicktime is just bad on the PC. I've had major issues...

Don't dismiss the 7D - if the NEX VG10 hadn't have come along I'd have probably shot Arkham on a 7D (or even a T2i/Rebel) - yes, some people don't get along with the DSLR form-factor for shooting video but seriously - the results speak for themselves...

Damn straight! I might just buy a copy of PI with service like that :) Re: Vegas - are you running 32-bit or 64-bit? 32-bit Vegas is a b*tch for running out of memory - it's not even PAE-aware - just generally sucks. 64-bit is a lot more stable.

I just saw this thread and had to comment - I had a really cool idea about making a Ridge Racer movie :D The two others I'd love to make are Rescue on Fractalus! and The Chaos Engine :)

Little hope for my 1st-gen MacBook Air then? :D Gonna download it anyway... :D

Agreed - I've worked on a lot of digital FX and none of them were ever fixed by changing the frame rate - if the effect isn't working it's because it's not properly integrated - i.e. doesn't match the camera settings (Field of View, aperture etc.) or the scene lighting.

What's the name of your feature? H.P. Lovecraft's Arkham Sanitarium What's the logline and Synopsis of your feature? "Some places are built evil" Arkham Sanitarium is an anthology of three short stories faithfully adapted from the works of H.P. Lovecraft – each of the three stories is set in...

I used a D-Focus follow-focus ($139) on Arkham Sanitarium - seemed to work fine for most of the shots - the only one I had problems with was trying to use a Glidetrack and the D-Focus at the same time and keeping the dolly smooth and the shot in focus on a tiny monitor :D Next time I'll use a...

Firstly, thanks for the praise :) I set out to make the Lovecraft movie I'd always wanted to see and whilst compromises had to be made I'm pretty happy with it :) As to the look, I knew I wanted something as cinematic as possible so that meant interchangeable lenses. We used 3 - a 50mm f1.4 -...

Don't forget a smoke machine! You can pick them up pretty cheaply (get a water-based DJ-type one) - even a little smoke adds a lot of atmosphere :) I used an LED light for my film - it was indispensable - used it for even lighting on greenscreen, lightning effects, sunlight through windows - it...

On the first day of shooting for Arkham we left lunch too late and had to stop shooting because of rumbling stomaches being pickup up on the audio :D

Nearly had a heart attack the first day of shooting for my film - we were recording to an Atomos Ninja and when I checked the footage, compared to the camera's native AVCHD, the Ninja ProRes looked noisy. It was only after running a number of tests I realised the Ninja was bypassing the camera's...

I had a lot of fun working with the Sony NEX VG10 camcorder on Arkham Sanitarium - great picture, interchangable lenses, amazing DoF and really good low-light (shot some scenes just with candle light). I believe the VG20's out now which improves on the 10 a great deal (and means you might be...

Hey everyone! My actors have been asking me for demo reel material and rather than just give them the shots I've edited some stuff together for them - you can see 3 minutes of Dan McSherry's (Robert Harrison Blake) scenes from our H.P. Lovecraft adaptation here: http://survivorfilms.com :)

I worked on Gerry Anderson's New Captain Scarlet :) He's quite impressive to meet in person - I only hope i'm half as sharp when I reach his age :)

Please help us get the film finished by either contributing or by spreading the word! Thank you! H.P. Lovecraft's Arkham Sanitarium on IndieGoGo!

Hi everyone, I've just finished putting together the first cut of the Arkham Sanitarium trailer and I'd really appreciate any feedback you might have on it :) It's a password-protected video hosted on Vimeo - the password is providence and you can get to the trailer here. It hasn't been...

Now that we've wrapped on Arkham Sanitarium, we were planning to dismantle the sets we built - however, there's been some interest from low-budget shooters in using these sets so I thought I'd put this out to the IndieTalk UK community. We have a 6m long by 2m wide by 2.4m high tiled sanitarium...
