    Do You Need A Composer? Well, Say " Hello" to Me!

    I couldn't get to the page via that link, but this worked: https://soundcloud.com/jsdsbeats I loved the beats tracks, especially 'Mystery Thriller'... it had an asynchronous, unexpected timing that was refreshing (not a fan of synth tracks though) Can you export that as a midi track(s)? I...

    Buying used camera stuff

    Don't make that switch... its not very much of an upgrade (out of date, flawed video - literally the first dslr to have usable video in '08) And you'll have to invest in more expensive full frame glass only. Now - if your focus is making a massive step forward in video (not photo), look at a...

    Write To Your Budget With Quentin Tarantino

    The fact that the heist was not shown was what made the film really compelling for me

    How would you compare the Blackmagic Cinema and Canon c300 camera?

    From my ol' trusty GH2: The cam brings all the filmic basics. They key here is the lighting and color - filmmaker's input - the pocket can yet do better at those filmic basics

    How would you compare the Blackmagic Cinema and Canon c300 camera?

    Yes, it is the way to go for the best at no cost. The rolling shutter is good, as its a smaller sensor with less pixel lines to scan. Far worse dslrs have been used to film scenes in major Hollywood films (really) There is a lot more that comes into play in a camera's look & quality than the...

    Windows 8, my burden, my enemy (Dell)

    Is this a desktop? If so, it would be wise to reseat the video card and ram. If a laptop, reseat the ram. Then, we can likely narrow down any hardware issues to either power supply or magnetic HDD (the usual suspects) The problem is probably stemming from a software issue though. A full Windows...

    Windows 8, my burden, my enemy (Dell)

    That's right... SSD is a big 'wow factor' when used as part of the OS drive * It will disappear from view in My Computer when configured correctly (via that guide)

    Windows 8, my burden, my enemy (Dell)

    Here's a little guide: http://www.pcworld.com/article/248828/how_to_setup_intel_smart_response_ssd_caching_technology.html The relevant section is under 'Installing and Enabling SRT' (in doing this, you won't have to do the readyboost thing - this is much better)

    Windows 8, my burden, my enemy (Dell)

    Yes, that 32gb ssd would have a substantial impact on performance, if it was set up correctly by the manufacturer (as part of a 'hybrid combo w/ your magnetic) - you shouldn't be able to see it under My Computer

    Windows 8, my burden, my enemy (Dell)

    On the home Pc: its a passively cooled, completely silent machine. The Cpu is both overclocked and undervolted @ 4.4Ghz (tried a few 3770ks for the right one). All Hdds are Ssd; sound card is Xonar STX (amazing). I'm awaiting the drop of the GTX 800 series, but I'd recommend the 750 ti for a...

    Do you consider $2 million little or a lot?

    ++ If those movies were made today, it is most likely they would be shot on the Alexa (so many Hwood films today are)

    Windows 8, my burden, my enemy (Dell)

    Apple has no secret sauce - I've an '13 Air and I love it, but - The PC I built at home is simply the most powerful and crash free computer I've used, significantly outpacing the expensive Mac tower I use at work in both power and reliability.

    Do you consider $2 million little or a lot?

    For such a real world drama, you are in a good place in terms of budget. You will be able to achieve the highest quality possible without needing to turn to the highest end ($$$) companies that Hollywood uses. If you've the right technical know-how on your team, they can get results and really...

    Do you consider $2 million little or a lot?

    Hi fellow Philly filmmaker! & yea, 2 mill is more than enough granted the film making process is tailored to the budget (w/ conservative overhead factored in) Incidentally, what kind of film are you making? Perhaps I can help... as I could guarantee image and sound will be of top quality - by...

    Looking for Cheap, HD Camcorder/DSLR Camera With Focus Ring!

    This is your camera. W/ a little cheap fiio amp, you can adapt the AV output for headphone use.. You may want to consider the kit lens, but also pick up a nifty 50 from ebay (for about ~50 + lens adapter)
