Ok, I won't need DOF adapter since I am getting fast lens with big aperture that will create a shallow depth of field. I would like to get opinions on the most typical film style zoom length. Through my play with T2i I believe it is between 35 - 55mm.

*Looks like my threads keep disappearing, or I keep forgetting to press "Submit New Thread" after "Preview Post" :( Please, have a look at these two shots: I do not want to reduce aperture. So, here are my assumptions How to fight overexposed windows/doors? Windows: Gels can be used to...

Red and Zacuto gave me a quotation that put me in a state of shock. I have found these on ebay: India Korea Seem to be a decent product. What's your opinion?

It is 10 times cheaper than something similar in B&H. I think it's likely to be of a very poor quality. Only pictures look great :)

2400w Red Head Continuous Lighting Kit 800w x 3 + Bag for less than $300. Is this for real or should I be alarmed? I do already have 4 simple 1000w tungsten lights each with its stand, but the above ones look professional and have flags to control light flow.... I will DIY or purchase several...

Thank you very much, everybody!!!

Oops... I didn't expect this thread to build up so fast... CF, thanks for the "conflict" you brought in that drew this topic insane. Ernest Worthing, you made me cry with your: :) There is one interesting thing that I mentioned with my DSLR. I live in 220V and 50Hz country. I have a tungsten...

I think I will supply power through an External Power Source (AC Adapter Kit ACK-E8). Though not from outlet... This is what I need. I simply read the output voltage and amperage of the adapter, then will get a third party battery with the same V and A, but a bigger capacity. Otherwise, I will...

Is it ok to shoot 1080 24p at 1/50 shutter speed since Canon T2i does not provide 1/48 shutter speed at all?

I am looking for additional batteries for T2i. I am kind of warned with a huge difference in price tags. These 5 batteries on eBay, and this ONE battery on BH. Which one would you suggest?

Great thread! Keep it on! I am T2i owner as well.

Clear. I do understand Scene 16A, 16B, as if they were re-numbered to 17 and 18. But this is tough to do on a script's hard copy during production. I am making my own rules. Scene changes when location changes - period. Shot changes when camera replaced. Since I am shooting with one...

Thanks for support and I will do my best to make it great. The script is done. Although I keep on editing it, but those are minor corrections. I have distributed it for others to read and criticize/comment. I was righting the script with a sense of what viewers will see ON THE SCREEN. However...

Really great explanation, but I also have a nice quote from wiki (I believe) that states: A scene in my script where a boy comes back to the exchange office to return the excess money, but gets misunderstood, is kind of tricky on scene and take numbers during a production stage. Throughout...

Since I am going to shoot with Canon T2i, which is not a video camera, there are no zebra pattern to show over-burned white spots in the frame. So, I thought how important is it to have a lightmeter? I found this one which is not pricey, but has good specs.

MTR mode!!! I'm stupid :( The strange is that when I record in mono I hear CENTERED sound, but then the playback is mono. I will check mono monitoring settings. 99.99% it does, although I couldn't find any word on that in the manual. So, what are usual levels of mic to record a 20db and 70db...

I like the recording device you are suggesting, but Zoom H4n that I already own does have VU meters. I don't know why, but I really want to keep my production sound away from camera.

Thank you very much for your feedbacks! A lot of really helpful information. Since there will only be ONE mic during any scene shot, I just want a direct to hear that single mic. Well, maybe the best for now is to wire connect director :) PS: As i don't want to mix topics together, I would...

Some search results on ebay and Google. I would have buy this, but it is mono. What are they all microphone systems? Any feedback on this one?

Well, what if I raise my financial limits to $350? I know I would still be in the consumer arena, but will the same issues apply? I am not too strict with the range... maximum is 50 meters is what I aim for.
