    Glidecam Questions

    Sorry for yet another thread. All my new gear at once causes trouble for me hehe. Today I've been experimenting with a Glidecam HD2000 for the first time, however I can't seem to get smooth shots. Could it possibly be because my Glidecam, camera and lens are too light overall? I've a t2i which...

    Sound only appears in left channel

    So is there a way to pan it in Magic Lantern or will I have to do it in post?

    Sound only appears in left channel

    Hello everyone I've borrowed a Sony UWP-v1 and I'm about to shoot a short documentary project tomorrow. I've just installed Magic Lantern on my Canon t2i 550D, and I've never tried this wireless microphone before. My problem is that sound only appears in left channel. When I use built-in mic...

    Best Wide Angle Lens for under 900$

    Thank you for all your replies. I found a used Samyang 14mm lens on the internet and bought that together with a used Glidecam and battery - everything for 800 dollars (and this is in Denmark, a new Glidecam costs about 800$ itself. So far the Samyang 14mm seems nice.

    Best Wide Angle Lens for under 900$

    Yeah I'll have to invest in another. Already been there (running low on battery while shooting), very annoying. I've just been afraid to use zoom lenses after working with the standard kit one. Is it still decent DoF and quality even when fully zoomed? Also, does Sigma 24-70mm qualify as a...

    Best Wide Angle Lens for under 900$

    Wow. I'm overwhelmed from all these replies. Thank you guys. It might have been ideal for me to say that the only lenses I've is 50mm f1.8 and the standard kit lens. Yup, I'm poor. The standard kit lens is useless imo. The price of Samyang 14mm is definitely a huge bonus for me. It's almost...

    Best Wide Angle Lens for under 900$

    Hi guys I've been trying to do some research on this, but I can't really seem to get a good answer. I'd like to hear your opinion on which wide angle lenses you could recommend. I have Canon 550D and no wide angle lens whatsoever. Bear in mind that the price is a factor too, and if there is a...

    archived-videos DATE (Danish shortfilm with subtitles)

    I'm very pleased by your constructive feedback. I do agree that I could have cut out the first two clips, and they were definitely just aesthetically pleasant purpose. The intro clip was a little too long, but maybe you guys are also a little too harsh. I'm 19 and this was my second shortfilm...

    You are right. I should have tried to make it a bit shorter, no doubt. :) I actually did open the windows and turn on all lights. Though, I didn't turn ISO all the way down at all times. Thanks for the tip. Please enlighten me on how to do this. I think my actor did a splendid job. :) Yeah...

    archived-videos DATE (Danish shortfilm with subtitles)

    Thanks for your constructive reply - much appreciated. As mentioned this is my second shortfilm and third production, so you are indeed right about the fact that I need more practice at exposing and using the focus. However, I like to clear out that I would encourage everyone to make films no...

    archived-videos DATE (Danish shortfilm with subtitles)

    Hey guys. This is my second shortfilm and my third video production. It is a comedy short about a guy who has grown a pimple just before his dream date. I don't have much gear, so I had to shoot under the circumstances using my Canon t2i, standard lens, 50mm f/1.8 lens, a tripod and a...

    editing iPhone calling sound effect

    Ok, so I solved the problem. I decided to write to a friend of mine, who has a microphone he used for a private radio host. He will record the sound through that and send it to me, just like A.D. suggested. Thanks for your answers and sorry for the double post!

    editing iPhone calling sound effect

    Yeah, that's very true. I might consider using a normal dial sound. Although, most people are familiar with iPhones, and I'd say they are more likely to expect the iPhone dial sound.

    editing iPhone calling sound effect

    Thanks for the link. However, I've already found quite a few dial sound effects actually. The iPhone one differs from the usual dial sounds, and the character in my film is calling with an iPhone 4s, hence I really wanna find that sound effect. But it seems hard to find! :)

    editing iPhone calling sound effect

    I'm aware that sound is half the experience. The shortfilm I'm making only has two lines, so I think I will be fine without a mic as long as I can get sound effects synchronized properly. And yeah...copyright is copyright. But concerning that much about a soundeffect from a Phone, in a selfmade...

    editing iPhone calling sound effect

    It's just a minor non-profit, non-commercial shortfilm. The problem is that I don't have a mic. I have the mic from within the 550D, which is pretty damn bad, especially without Magic Lantern. :) It's not the ringtone. It's when you call someone and you hear the sound of calling/dialing.

    Unable to install Magic Lantern

    I did follow every possible step. As I said, I can't put anything in my folders. It's like they are read-only, but they aren't.

    editing iPhone calling sound effect

    I'm looking for the iPhone calling/dialing sound effect. I really didn't want to create a thread for this, but I seriously haven't been able to find one. It's for a short film. Thanks in advance.

    Unable to install Magic Lantern

    First of all; apologizes if this wasn't the right section. I thought I'd ask on this forum since I like it here and I've an user here. I can't install Magic Lantern on my 550D. I followed this tutorial: http://wiki.magiclantern.fm/install I did everything it said, but it doesn't allow me to...
