Interesting thing is my DELL XPS came with a regular HDD and also a 32 gig SSD. Dell sales told me the OS was on that and it'd make it faster, but turns out it wasn't, and I don't really know what the purpose of the SSD is. Others around the web are puzzled too. Its shows up as DATAPART1 on my...

I think I will try a clean reinstall of everything. Does it have to be a Dell version of w8?

Should I use 5 ounces of C4 or is 3 enough?

To say I hate my quad core Dell XPS hotrod is an understatement. I can't even scroll through jpegs without crashes or some crazy COM Surrogate errors. It's no faster than my Dell w7, 3 years its senior. It doesn't come with any software disk. I'm either going to shoot the computer, myself, or...

I like the film. Hot actress. Great lighting considering your resources. I have the same cam and like it a lot. do you have a loop? I can't focus without...

IMO film look is more function of everything in front of the camera, not the camera itself.

Even iPhone cams look really good these days. The law of diminishing returns is at work with cameras.

Those handheld stabilizers are great, until after about 15 minutes when your biceps explode.

A recipe for disaster. Please don't do it. At a minimum, take Wheatgrinder's advice.

Somehow I ended up at a site similar I think to withoutabox, it's called filmfreeway. filmfreeway dot com. Anyone have experience with it?

Has anyone tried withoutaboxsucks approved list of festivals? I was going to submit to Yosemite FF. I detest withoutabox. And it's true, they wreck your movie if you upload it to them.

It's a fun camera. The "Magic" part of Blackmagic happens in post though with its studly codec. I also noticed a little less jellovision compared to GH2. These cams are not for everyone, I'm convinced you need a handheld light meter unless you have a real monitor. I think the battery issue is...

Did some testing yesterday. My baseline is the GH2 since that's what I've used the last few years. I shot some scenes and locations that I've covered with GH2. No scientifically controlled lighting or anything, but the pocketcam was alias free, GH2 showed aliasing under same conditions...

Hey David, I haven't used mine much yet, what exactly do you mean though? As in the motion signature?

Making up compelling shit is absolutely the hardest thing. Even A List writers often cannot do it. You can make a bad movie from a great concept, but you cannot make a great movie from a bad concept. It's the hardest thing. Hollywood cannot do it consistently and it's one reason they keep...

Many directors can't write. But you should be able to recognize good writing when you see it and know which scenes are critical and need the most milking. The other great skill I think it knowing recognizing good actors and casting.

I would like this cam because 4k downsamples to 2k with 4:2:2 color. THAT is something worth having.

NPR had a good feature the other day on focus pullers. It's true, they develop the ability to quickly judge distance. I'd always thought that meant they could say, "Subject is 8 feet from camera", however is actually more like "subject is 7 feet 9 inches from camera." Literally down to the...

first dino looked good, the second not as much but still equal to some of the cg syfy still airs. What I really want from your trailer is an inkling of the basic story. I couldn't say at all what it's about right now. Very ambitious, I think comedy is the hardest thing to pull off.

AF on the 14-54 is also dog a$s slow and noisy.
