    Build your own (high end) editing/post production computer and save $$

    Just because you are purchasing a pre-built computer does not mean that you cannot replace a broken part. It's just the same as a computer you build yourself, except someone else has already put the pieces together for you. And like I said the XPS 9000 is an extremely expandable (upgradable)...

    Build your own (high end) editing/post production computer and save $$

    Yeah at my work two guys use macs and I use my PC and we all do the same work and doesn't really seem like anyone has an unfair advantage over anyone else. Just a preference thing at this point. I have had virus protection installed for the past 8 years or so and I have no idea how anyone ever...

    archived-videos independent music video FEEDBACK WOULD BE APPRECIATED

    Being brutally honest. I would say do your homework more, critique yourself and make something that you feel good about before asking for other people's critiques. I only watched part of the music video and up till the end of part 2 of night terrors, but neither are in any sort of state to be...

    Suicide - HELP

    Put some sort of support vest on them. Tie the rope to the vest hang them that way. Then pull a separate rope around their neck for show. p.s. Of course the vest goes under their sweater or whatever you have them wear.

    Quentin does a lot of these long shots. Look at his part of Four Rooms. 15 of the 20 minutes is one shot.

    Today was a good day! I got the DXA-2S and new XLR cables today. Hooked them up to my Xacti HD1010 and Rode NTG2 and the sound was incredible. No noise or hum, just sounds great. Thanks you guys. You're advice made all the difference.
