But... where are the buttons??!! How can I dial? And where do I speak into? =) CraigL

Unless you have a constant aperture zoom... =) CraigL

You can try and find a propane generator. They can be 8-10dB quieter, and mostly the lower frequencies seem to be reduced, which should help travelling sound also. CraigL

It depends... =) If I felt there was a way to pull out enough, without harming the story, I would consider it depending on how busy I was or if it had been rejected multiple times before. It's hard when you've edited it carefully yourself, even more so when you've also directed and perhaps...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Birthday_to_You Short version: It was "published" in 1898 by the Hill sisters, but not copyrighted. It was somehow copyrighted in 1935 by the publisher of "Good Morning to All", a song the tune was based on. So, in the USA, copyright lives for 95 years after...

Oh. I was confused by the fact both the 8040 and 8030 had an A model listed specifically in the title as "near-field". Reading further into the specs of the B though, I see that they are classified as such. I guess the "A" model must just be last years model or something and they changed to...

Sorry for bringing this up days after it was posted, but I'm curious about something. In both cases, you recommended the "regular" (not sure what the word is) version of the speakers, rather than the near-field version, and I'm curious what that is? I had always thought the near-field version...

Now, now... one doesn't necessarily mean the other, even if they do both often look the same. If it's a symbolic movie and you're not really into symbolic movies per se, then just approach it like a movie you ARE into, and let the symbolism happen as it's going to. Make your own version of a...

I ordered mine yesterday from The Beat Goes On... =) CraigL

Haha, not sad at all. I get a smile, but it quickly goes away when I look into it and find that it's just a promo account for something else hoping that I'll sub back. Probably doesn't help that I'm doing virtually nothing on them... CraigL

I think it would depend a bit on who it's for. If it's something you planning on shooting yourself, then some detail about the scenes will help you and your team understand what's required and prepare the necessary shots/locations. Nothing hugely detailed, and only when the detail is relevant...

I hadn't heard of it until the T&A reference that ZenSteve posted, now I'm actively looking for it! I love me some John Cusack. Is it on the US NetFlix? I'm thinking about signing up for one of those proxy services... CraigL

That... was my point of confusion exactly. =) Perhaps it will work with S35 also, and the S35s I've seen that aren't Sony have been EF mounts (as in, not EF-S, not that all the non-E mounts are EF). We'll have to see I guess. CraigL

Ugh... too late and my Googling skills are failing me. I thought S35 was almost 25mm wide while APS-C was a little over 22mm? I think it winds up being 1mm or so shorter that APS-C in 16x9, so from that respect you're right, it won't matter. Even though the 2 or 3 mm seems small, it's ~10% of...

Yeah, I guess this true. Also, even though the f-stop is rated at 1.8, we don't really know what the t-stop rating is, it may well be 1/3 or 2/3 stops slower than the equivalent prime. Seems like such a nice range to tweak the framing though, but I guess switching and/or moving back and forth...

There's this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Srt07MIrRRo CraigL

HitFilm provides a lot of functionality for much less that AE: http://hitfilm.com/ CraigL

Seems odd that they'd make an EF mount, but APS-C size sensor only, doesn't it? I suppose that'd mean it might still work on S35 sensors. I loved the idea of it, but it's APS-C sensor only made me take pause for a minute. I don't expect to ever go to a full-frame sensor, but I definitely will...

That's hard to say. There's a limit to how high the native resolution of a sensor can be, you can double the resolution, but you've quartered the amount of light hitting each individual sensor, so you have to crank up the gain, meaning more noise. I think a 4/3 is typically about 600-750 lines...

There's a lot more than just capturing the image(s) though. You need to process them (as you pointed out) keep all that cool (also pointed out) and then have all the infrastructure in the camera to actually transfer that massive amount of data somewhere. 5K is like 7 times the data of 2K, 1.25...
