Listen to spinner.. "The truth will set you free". I don't know what your budget is to spend for a camera or what your purposes are. Is money an obstacle? Do you know how many movies have been shot on DVX100's or other SD DV cameras? Quite a few. The 2002 theatrical release "28 Days" used the...

Remember... the closest you can get the mics to the persons mouth is always better. Plan B may work, but I would go with the lavaliers if I was you. The xmtrs and rcvrs aren't difficult to use. Just get them ahead of time and practice with them. Know what the range is and also check for any type...

Excellent advice and spot on. Different shots will call for different techniques and mics. It is best to have a kit of the above available during production.

I live right outside Philly now, and have lived in LA. I have shot in both places. You won't find anything in CA resembling downtown Philly. We have Independence Hall, The Art museum, City hall, The Rocky satue and Love monument, which are all famous and noticeable landmarks in the downtown...

I don't do weddings either.... But I have a basic understanding of the production process. I am pretty sure "PRE" has to do with all footage shot before the ceremony "CERE" and the footage shot at the reception "REC". 1. PRE (pre-ceremony) - Footage of the bride and groom at rehearsal, at home...

Are you are editing with NTSC 720 x 480? Remember that it is 4:3 aspect ratio. So if the picture isn't in that ratio it won't fill the entire screen. It has to have black filler. Unless you have a really high resolution photo with lots of edge room you can't do what you are asking. What I...

Your whole post was spot on. I couldn't have said it better. It isn't how much money... it is how much creativity and ingenuity is put into the project... by hook or by crook... Just do it.

The simple answer is yes. Your plan will be good for this point in time. Your proposed system will handle SD and HD editing. For SD DV in Premiere Pro 2 it is more than enough. A single quad core CPU will certainly give you SD real time performance with a a decent GFX card and realtime capable...

Yes you will find some that can act... this is not a stripper site. It is for all types of models, actors/actresses and entertainers seeking work. I have hired a lot of outstanding people from this site. This is a no BS site. The people listed usually have references and work feedback right on...

Are you kidding me... South Florida is loaded with models who will do artistic nude. Go to www.onemodelplace.com and search till your heart is content. I use the site a lot when doing projects that require nudity. This should help you and good luck. Ciao, Tommy

The only thing I would mention is that I used Good ATI GFX cards with a couple of setups that I built. I wished that I would have invested in Nvidia FX series cards. Some NLE's and compositing apps like Avid MC and Toxik need Nvidia cards to work properly. I will be updating my ATI setups to...

I beg to differ... This is correct and solid advice, and it is another legal method to prove dates of creation for anything. I got it right from my lawyer and paid to do so. You do not need every page notorized. The cover sheet/table of contents would provide for how many pages there are etc...

1. Did you verify and check your tapes on the borrowed cam to make sure they were ok after recording? This is first and foremost 2. Are you mixing tape lubricants from one camera to the next camera? Meaning using different brand of tapes in the borrowed cam than the ones you usually use in...

I think it is a great idea. I came up with a few scenarios in just the time it took me to read your post. If I give you my ideas than I'll have to send you to Guantonimo Bay.... Just kidding. I like the basic idea.

In the age of short attention spans and instant gratification, I think good story telling has taken a back seat to SFX and CGI. I'll take a well crafted and interesting story over whiz bang, boom effects any day. To me if you can tell a good story and evoke real emotions from the viewer, you...

Excellent movie. Saw it a little while ago. I knew you were asking about "The Lives Of Others" but it wasn't B&W. Everyone interested in Indie films should put this on their list of must see movies.

These are great lights for a great price! I love the results you get with soft dome hot lights. I have 2 Photoflex Starlight Silver Domes 1000w and they cost 4 times the price of these! I could have saved a lot of money. I did a testimonial for Photoflex's marketing brochure to boot. They should...

Thanks John. Yes, you are right down the road. It is a small world indeed.

I can give you an answer. I have worked on countless adult projects. In the USA the statute is "United States Code 18 Section 2257" ( U.S.C 18 Section 2257) There is a lot of information contained in this law and it gets tricky. The bottom line is to be in federal compliance and play it safe...
