That would have been Anthony Dod Mantle. Although you mentioned DP later, just pointing out who was actually credited (and rightly so) with the visuals. And it wasn't cheap, $6K or so at the time IIRC. Awesome camera BTW. CraigL

I use both these products, they're very good. I upgraded to HitFilm Ultimate from the Express version. Really like the seamless integration between the two. CraigL

A T2i is very light, I've seen people suggest adding weight to the top just to give the column some mass. CraigL

I didn't feel this warranted entering the competition, but wanted to share it anyway, so here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7kxmbna-j0 I wanted to do a lighting test, so I wrote a little script that I thought we could use for that. Things I learned on this shoot: 1) The lights I...

Good luck! Or break a leg... what is the appropriate well wishing when it comes to film/video production? I've been feeling the same way... I am getting very tired of the commercials, and when it seems like the commercial time exceeds (or is even half) of what I'm attempting to watch, I must...

It's not at all. Isolating an element of anything is the best way to see how that element contributes to the whole. That is a good way to understand anything. As the OP was specifically asking about cinematography, it's obvious that we wouldn't turn the sound off as suggested elsewhere. And...

Wow... you're in for some serious work there... Personally, I'd love to reboot Dune. With the precedents set by LotR and Hobbit for "trilogies are the new long movie" I think it could be very nicely done. Oh, and I'd like to reboot Star Wars Ep I-III... CraigL

Watch it with the audio turned off. Good audio is almost invariably what sucks you in. Having it off allows you to focus on the visuals; framing, lighting, composition, etc. Most movies that I've enjoyed I'll rewatch with the audio off, sometimes just in a window on my computer while I'm...

The footage might playback in slow motion for a while soon after exposure, but it will recover fine after a short while... =) Inside the case, the hard drive platters and heads themselves are very well filtered. Smoke particles are perhaps as small as 10nm, and as big as 4000nm; modern HDD...

Hello fellow Canuck! CraigL

Wow, quite a story. It reminded me of a run in I had with someone in Port Elizabeth many years ago, how strange. But your encounter was much more intense. It might be hard to find a story in it that can translate well to film though, much of it is so very internal. Very intriguing. BTW, for...

Final visual and dialogue edit tonight. The music should also be ready, so plug that in and tweak the levels/timing. VFX and grade tomorrow. Getting it ready for something else Thursday evening also. Should be OK, but we had some lighting failures and rushed the shots a little bit too much...

Flight of the Navigator was another one that we enjoyed watching. The beginning to that movie is a remarkably disconcerting concept. I don't think they played it up as well as they could have, but perhaps seeing as the movie would have kid viewers, I'm sure they toned it down on purpose. CraigL

Do what you're doing. It's not uncommon for the rights holder to seek out a producer, and possibly even be the producer themselves. I'd suggest when looking around though, have a few things ready to show: 1) a synopsis 2) a link to the piece itself 3) a review or two This will help someone...

You picked a good month to "unghost". Now, grab a camera and shoot something about your previous ghost life and post it here: http://www.indietalk.com/showthread.php?t=50647 =) CraigL

The kids and I recently enjoyed Time Bandits. Been working on getting more movies of this style to introduce them to also. CraigL

Hehehe, me either. Just disabled JavaScript and continued anyway! Thanks! CraigL

Today, Chrome started blocking me coming to IT, citing: The Website Ahead Contains Malware! It is still persisting even tonight. Am I the only one? [edit] And now I see a similar thread in The Lounge. CraigL
