RE: Beach sound: We can easily provide as much "room tone" as you guys want/need. I was also concerned that we may need adr if there is too much interference. Fwiw we will have an audio pro on set and should be able to have lavs for the talent. Still a big challenge. As far as picking the...

Hey, slightly overdue feedback here. We really like where this is going, but we've got some notes. Mark's dialogue regarding the aliens comes off as terribly cliche. Not even people who think that way sound like that. Our director is happy to help tune that into something more naturalistic but...

Hope you'll indulge us with a write up after your test drive.

If I may ... :) I totally agree with this. I don't think we should try to explain away the differences in <resources/experience> by conforming to a genre where that necessarily makes sense. Think of it not so much as "what gear/experience" a given unit is working with, but "what look" can...

The Cion is a beautiful piece of design, though you are correct on the port angle. Agreed on the vf comment, that massive LCD is great and all, but it's a little too much, imo. Cion is conspicuously lacking an interchangeable lens mount, and the potentially replaceable sensor block and built...

Just to confirm, met with my core team and we're definitely on board. Answered your Google doc survey as specifically as I could. Truth is we have a wealth of exterior location options, and sourcing interiors may also be possible. Similarly we are spoiled for choice when it comes to actors in...

Am I the only one that thinks they are both using the same sensor?

Sorry, not as mutually exclusive to the pre-pro online journal (forum thread if you will), but in addition to. Director, editor, DP commentaries are pretty common, and iirc there might be some out there from the sound perspective but none come to mind. Basically gives the supervisor/designer...

What about detailing the audio process though a commentary track? In terms of length, if each unit is committing to a 1 or 2 day shoot and working at a typical ULB feature pace then we can expect 3-6 pages per day, faster if folks are going simplified on the lighting, slower of the pages are...

Bearing in mind I'm still working from possibly incorrect assumptions about your script ;) here goes: "Set pieces" are basically big setups that require a lot of planning, choreography between moving elements, usually a good deal of set construction (an authentic looking European ghetto circa...

How much mileage are you getting out of Resolve Lite? Or are folks using something like FilmConvert?

Thanks Brian, nice to hear from someone who's walked the upgrade path I'm considering. Friend/fellow freelancer sent me this: http://library.creativecow.net/kaufman_debra/Behind-the-Lens-Rodney-Charters/1

It's unfortunate that you feel this way. The two projects are quite different and can easily exist on this board without stepping on each other. You are looking for a crew to come to you from this board. Nick is looking to get multiple crews from the diaspora to generate pieces of a larger...

Put me down for arranging a shooting unit. I'll talk too my director and producer about this at our meeting on Monday, but we're chomping at the bit for narrative work and had some bids we made for commercial stuff placed on hold.

Thanks Donned, I like that piece. Clever. Hard to tell what I'm looking at on my phone's screen, but I'll give it another view from home over the weekend. The jogging wide shot was the c100? Looks like the wides on the porch were pocket? Just read the press release about the McDonald's spot...

Thanks man, lots of food for thought. I'm not ordering anything until after NAB, and a few other things are sorted. Not that I am going to NAB our planning on waiting for the "next big thing" but show announcements tend to change the pricing on existing gear, both new and used. Interesting...

Full Disclosure: DirectoRik is probably one of the most experienced people on this board. Certainly far more experienced than I! Looking forward to hearing more as your script progresses.

@Giovanni - Thanks for giving us more info in where you are in the writing process. I'll check in on your thread from time to time, but feel free to PM me here when you have something I could read. @Jax - my LA appearance isn't locked down, but I'll know soon. If it happens I'll let you know.

In the off chance you are in the NorCal area, shoot me a PM and I'll buy the first round. Though I might be in LA for the second half of May. Details, lol. :D Sounds like the script is already in progress. Let's let this one play out. We can always fire up another collaboration attempt...

Well, in fairness, nothing that couldn't be shot with my GH2. :D Anything I get asked to shoot that my GH2 can't do is a rental anyway. But I'm tempted by the massive jump in both dynamic range and light sensitivity - the native 800 is just too tempting. I also understand that the RAW...
