    When to use Shoulder rig vs. counter weight stabilizer, vs. tripod?

    I need some advice to make sure I am using the right tool for the job. I am finding myself being able to get a much more stable image over my shoulder rig, by using the 'tripod as a counter weight' trick.. That is, if have any movement. Of course if I use the tripod how its supposed to be used...

    SD card question

    I heard that too.. I almost went to 32's until I considered how much I would lose if the card failed. I plan on keeping laptops handy, and transferring data on the scene.

    The Future of Film

    The prediction model is what has happened to most music artists.. Movies will be distributed at will, like Mp3's. Now music artists have to tour to cover expenses. Movie makers will have to rely on delivering unique content on a personal basis to survive. Old school advertising budgets will...

    cinematography Seeking specific music video inspiration.

    I've got shots that include two music artists in front of a party looking towards camera performing. My inclination is to shoot near sunset over their shoulder, and use fill light from the front, by using umbrella lights, and reflectors. This shoot is zero budget, and I do not have soft boxes...

    Inspiring a party crowd

    ..excellent feedback.. I can tell I am underestimating the task. Fortunately, I am replacing audio with music, so we can pump music, and megaphoning direction, during the shot... hmm, this could be nuts..

    t2i-t3i 'Movie recording has been stopped automatically' in bright scene.

    No sweat CV, I am trouble free since I favored better cards, and I am very stoked at the t3i's ability to amaze me compared to my previous camera.. The vid above was just 'proof' that a card can act normal... say, while you sit in your office filming white walls, and then fail as the image and...

    t2i-t3i 'Movie recording has been stopped automatically' in bright scene.

    I tried to force close with a class 4 (PNY optima 8gb) and had trouble force closing the buffer, so I switched to an old SanDisk MicroSD (very old cell phone card class2?) in an adapter and I can force close it every time... Success!!.. Note, that even sounds will cause this card to buffer...

    t2i-t3i 'Movie recording has been stopped automatically' in bright scene.

    I can imagine this for sure. It makes sense a wider range of values, is more data, requires more write speed.

    filming at 60fps vs 30fps .. strongest Image quality.

    New test.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkgaJ2bNnDk A little dark, but switched to 1/50 and instead of panning, going with a dolly movement. There was a lot of wind noise, so I added a soundtrack .... :D
