I truly, truly meant "Cracker Funk."

Cracker Funk, I was responding to your "With that budget, though, you don't necessarily have to limit yourself to one lens..." Audio Alcove I was reading this and your blog and it's great advice - thank you. A few years ago I bought the Azden Shotgun Microphone Bundle for around $500...

Alcove Audio I found your blog very helpful! Unfortunately Cracker Funk, our 10,000 budget can't all go towards gear - only about half (and we want to buy because we have a a number of projects in the future where we won't even have the budget to rent.) This is going to sound like a stupid...

Not taken as a slam. As the links I included in my OP should demonstrate, I'm examining footage from the 5D and 7D shot by skilled professionals. I haven't shot on either 7 or 5, but have been examining hours of footage from both. Skill level aside, it's a different quality entirely. It's...

I guess that's the better question then. Anyone know how to make the 5D 24p footage look as 'filmic' as 7D footage in terms of frame rate?

Every filmmaker and DP I consult with in LA insists we use the 5d for this feature we're about to shoot instead of the 7D. They list the standard reasons: full sensor, won't have lens issues, etc. But I just can't stand the 5D footage (even with 24p firmware update). It's so clean. The...

Super super cool. This is some great advice. Thank you. I'm in the middle of doing a ton of research based on your feedback and will be posting soon with a couple specific questions to your responses but I just wanted to jump on here and thank Cracker, GuerrillaAngel, directorik, Alcove Audio...

My buddy and I are shooting a no budget, run and gun movie with a Canon 7D and a zoom H4N. One of us will do sound and the other's working the camera and we'll both be editing on FCP. My first question: on a super low budget (under 10G) production like this, if you only get to use one lens...

These boots are made for... Does anyone else find that going for a walk cures writer's block? The max it has taken is 5 hours of walking. But it always seems to work.

I live in Los Angeles. I'm having to learn a lot about filmmaking very quickly and am happy I found this place. Thanks.
