    movies What's the last film you watched? And rate it!

    The Killer Inside Me: B I liked this movie quite a bit, but lower the score considerably. It was also a little too obvious that The Grandmaster: B+ It's a Wong Kar Wai film with a little kung fu peppered in there. Lavishly designed and beautifully photographed, but swings between...

    cinematography In what frame-rate to shoot for final in multiple standards?

    *shrug* Frame rate conversion isn't really my forte, but I know what they wanted to acquire with, and that's what they got. I don't know if it was so they could distribute in 25, but I do know that this thread is the first time I've seen 24ntsc as a suggested frame rate for later distributing...

    How do I handle this situation with a stressed producer?

    When you say "Producer," do you mean someone who actually produces narrative content for a living, or do you mean someone with little experience and a "day job" who is trying to fill the role of "Producer?" Also, you need to decide what you are. Are you an actor? Are you a writer? Are you a...

    cinematography In what frame-rate to shoot for final in multiple standards?

    I just shot a reality show intended for both US an International distribution. Our post team wanted to acquire in 1080p30 to ease conversion for the most markets, so that's what we did. ;) Take that for what it is worth.

    Balckmagic Pocket Camera: What would be good lenses for it?

    I should watch more of the footage coming from this thing. I can think of ways to use it, even though I am writing up a plan to buy some significantly more expensive kit over the next 12 months. Problem is that it would just make me want to buy an old set of Zeiss MKI's or a s16 zoom or...

    Do you really need a lot of people to make a marketable film?

    You need to find the pod-cast interview with Mr. Carruth (posted elsewhere on this board) where he describes shooting Primer, and how trying to adhere to that budget because of Rodriguiz's book was akin to shooting himself in the foot. Might not want to cite as an example a process that...

    Balckmagic Pocket Camera: What would be good lenses for it?

    Use the SanDisk and you should be fine. Given the cost potential of a card failing at the wrong time, there's really no excuse not to get good quality, high speed cards. It's possible there is a camera issue involved, but more like the fault of using sub-standard media for the device. To be...

    cinematography Becoming DP: Camera dep. or Grip?

    Well, in reality if you can get experience on both sides of the equation that is the best option from a learning perspective. That can confuse producers sometimes though, as people tend to think of you as someone who does the job they met you doing. In all honesty though, there are probably an...

    Balckmagic Pocket Camera: What would be good lenses for it?

    Now that I am back in the world for a bit, I thought I'd get caught up current events for the BMD cameras. What I don't get about some of the "comparisons" being posted is that no one is putting up an identical shot across both cameras being compared. Hard to be empirical when one camera is...

    Dangerous Waters, Season 3 will feature the cinematography stylings of yours truly!

    Well, it's a bit of both. The decision to call for extraction was quite difficult for us, but when we saw the ice reports for the waters between Ft. Ross and Arctic Bay and the CCGS crew told us we made the right choice then it all really sunk in. Amazing run, and we plan to finish that section...

    Once I'm home I plan on putting some stuff up. I'm only able to share some general imagery until after we air, some of the promo stills I shot along the way are on the show's facebook page. Anyway, here is more recent news now that our radio silence has been lifted...

    Your Day Today

    Woke up, scrounged a little fake mocha from instant coffee and chocolate milk. Did a boat load of dishes after sorting go pro gear for the day. Made some pancakes and eggs, ate, setup a time lapse on the intermittent snow fall, chatted with the boss about the day then downloaded and logged a...

    Hello from Cambridge Bay, Nunavut! Can't describe the stark beauty of the arctic. A small cove called Nunuk (the Point) is now on my list of favorite places on earth. Work is tough, but very rewarding. Had a little trouble adjusting from my hands off doc style to the interacting with the...

    Bump. Long road to Inuvik. Multiple flats on the trailer on the way here. Broke the other trailer with our fuel boat on the Dempster hwy. We hit the water in earnest tomorrow. Edited above to list some gear .
