I'm not a fan of using hdmi for external recording devices. My Gh2's hdmi is very flimsy. It's a real weak link. SDI is way more robust and reliable for a external recorder. ymmv.

I wouldn't worry about 4k as a requirement for theatrical release. Most movies you've even seen in a theater are lucky to hit 2k. Tonight I saw a 480p dvd on new 55" Samsung, footage was shot with a gh2. It looked excellent.

What is the crop factor on the 4k? Finding wide enough glass on the pocketcam isn't fun. I love the camera but a friendlier crop factor is something I'd happily pay for. I don't know why I'd need 4k other than to crop images. YMMV

Poor guy. Had to read 300 feature length screenplays in a year. I'd rather jam in ice pick in my ear drum.

A BMPCC is a very good choice. A basic set up of camera body, loupe, and a bunch of batteries will run you $1200. 4k seems like hype to me, and unless the gh4 has something better than 8 bit 420 color, I wouldn't bother. Best bang for the buck is a GH2 for $500.

I've written and directed a few infomercials. We did it just like Fantasy says. Yes, they're cheesy and stupid, but it's a multi billion dollar industry. Cliches work great in informercials for some reason. They're poison anywhere else, but fill your show up with them nonetheless. Alot of...

I guess I'll join the dogpile. Opening credits look like they're from a major studio, they're awesome, but yeah, maybe too long? Looks like great work, I only watched a few minutes though cuz it's fucking late!

So what'd ya get?

That sounds hard. A guy could become a folk hero if he took a pic of his LCD and overlayed the tape lines dimension in photoshop. :yes:

"Real anamorphic footage" means shooting with anamorphic lens? And where do you put the tape marks on the LCD for framing? Thanks for the great info.

how do you do that in vegas? And where to put the tape on the lcd? thx.

I'm using Vegas 10, will probably transcode to Cineform. Here are the specs for the Asus X54C-BBK19 2.3GHz Operating system: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Edition 64-bit Display: 15.6" LCD (1366 x 768) Webcam: 0.3 megapixels Processor: 2.3GHz Intel Core i3 i3-2350M Cache: 3MB L3 Memory: 4GB...

anyone know how to post a pic here? or a site i can use? my panel says "can't attach attachments"

Can someone tell me what they think is the camera height? I have trouble with this for some reason. I'd say it looks like camera is at the level of the male piano player's eyes. http://www.shutterfly.com/lightbox/view.sfly?fid=80953db9372b88416276141d224b0f78

I think it's effective. Well done. I liked that all the actors didn't look like 15 year olds.

I've shot stuff in the Philippines. A lot of stuff actually. It's not that diverse really. Actually I don't agree with most of that promo video. Philippines has advantages though: 1) it's English speaking 2) It's super cheap to shoot there, live there, eat there. 3) Lots of rental houses there...

The sets that didn't do much for me were the room the girl got murdered in at the beginning and Kohlman's place. The place looked fairly generic, I think it should be a better reflection of Kohlman. my dos centavos.
