So do you have any ideas? Cause like I said, you have to give me a few options, and then I can probably give you some additional suggestions.

Thing is though, you still need someone, likely more like a Producer, who can work with you on preparing your pitch so that you can get all of your ducks in a row, and know what you're going into. Do you literally want to just sell the idea off for a lump sum with residuals if it turns into...

I know there's a site that has a database for cameras and equipment used on films called "Shot On What." And I know there's a website about sound design for films called "Sound On Sound." As for color-grading, that's a bit trickier, and might require you to just do some research. Did you not...

I personally want my next film, and my future films to be diverse. And as long as I have a big enough pool of actors to choose from, I'll likely be able to do that. In the case of my current film, though, every character is white, and not because I asked for them to be. I actually left it open...

Still better than what the GH4 gives me in low-light. I get horrific noise even with super wide lenses. It's one of my main concerns. The 4K looks beautiful on a GH4 with even bright lighting, but even with around 800 ISO, the shadow noise is pretty messy.

So you're saying Sony now has a low-light full-frame camera with 4K internal recording? Cause that's what I needed like last year. Damn.

I think you're descriptions of your questions were clear. I am no expert on this matter. But I am inclined to believe that once the negative has been developed, it remains a negative, and only through a secondary process is it then turned into a positive. So whether or not you digitize and...

I didn't notice it before, but it feels like the movie-trailer narrator--at least an actual, omniscient trailer narrator--has died off quite a bit. We aren't hearing the cliched epic lines that break-down the story for you with simple but powerful words as much anymore. Now it's become more of a...

That's actually one of the biggest benefits of 4K, much less moire. Because when you take an image shot in 4K and downscale it compared to a native 1080p image, the moire issue can be dramatically different between two similar images.

With all that I've seen and read, The Canon 5Ds have and somewhat still are the bandwagon cameras. They've been the Go-to because they were the first real DSLRs to be used for serious filming purposes back in 2007. The A7s, however, is one of the first DSLR's specifically designed for use in...

Hi Jared, my name's Jonathan. Glad to see someone actually promoting themselves in the Promotional section. Most people don't seem to notice that when they join here. So props to you there. I took a look at most of your videos, and I have to say they're definitely on the rough side. Much less...

Have you actually tried to see if the footage you get with all of this stuff looks good or not? Cause your setup isn't a whole lot different than what I've been using, and it always worked pretty well for me.

Sure, they can. But I don't think they had that capability back then. Panovision cameras likely weren't built with that option. But if they were, I'm sure they didn't do it just because the visuals would have still looked a tad washed out. And it's also easier to time the reactions of actors to...

Why exactly do you want to render it out as a 2.35:1? I can't think of a situation where you would physically need to have a video rendered at that exact aspect ratio. Because any theatrical screen or tv that you play the video/film on would be a 1080p projector or screen. So the video has to be...

Before I say anything else, I just want to make it clear that my criticisms are coming from an honest and constructive core. I do not mean to outright hate on your films, even if it might seem so, and I do honestly think you guys have succeeded in doing more than what most filmmakers I know...

Overhead projectors that used transparencies were the things being used in the 70s. They didn't have projectors like we do now except for film reels. And usually no. When it was a film projector they used the live image. But almost every time a monitor or television screen is seen in a 70s film...

I can tell you from experience that using a television instead of a projector has been terrible in the college classroom setting. The higherups who made the transition at my college may think it was a good decision to change to enormous televisions, but the problem is that although the TVs are...

Compared to Django Unchained it looks like what I think everyone has suspected: it's a much smaller film than all of his previous. It's almost going back to basics like Resevoir Dogs, even with a few of the same actors, but making it another Western, because Tarantino bases most of his concepts...

In order to get the best picture of how complicated this all can be, I would suggest watching the behind the scenes documentaries on both Star Wars: Attack of the Clones, Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, The Matrix and The Matrix Reloaded, and Star Trek...

The difficulty comes in with both how you have to film your principal photography, and then how much man power, equipment, and time it takes to craft and render all of the digital elements. I don't think there's any quantifiable way to express how much "More Difficult" it is, you just have to...
