Hello, I'm about to create my own studio, and I want to create a thematic identity related to a very old Atari game. This game was very special to me, because it represents something enigmatic, mystic, a search for answers in our lives. An archetype of the hero inside every person. This game...

Just to illustrate what I'm saying, this still is from a very dark place. But the camera makes it look like "normal". You don't see noise, even with the high ISO. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=433136776755769&set=a.163391063730343.39440.100001783523911&type=1&theater

With good lighting, you can achieve good results with both. But in low lighting scenes, dude, seriously, I never had in my hands a better camera than the hacked GH2.

In my opinion, something meaningful or memorable to you and your life plus the aesthetic of words. It's simple, but only you can make it. I think the most important in this case, is YOU to feel right with this, like carrying your baby on your arms.

You can get a GOOD monitor/hood and hire a focus guy just to monitoring and adjust the focus while the actor move. But if there is no move on the scene, orient the actor to keep the position. If the actor really needs to move, my suggestion is to mix different takes. Make the motion with an...

my subject seems to be perfectly focused and everything seem to be great Where? Camera lcd? Frequently it's not reliable. Particularly when it's on a bright place. You can buy a good monitor to watch it better, or at least a lcd hood. I use one. Another thing: is hard to shoot motion scenes...

On Sony Vegas we use the bézier curves to mask non-linear objects. I don't know if there is a similar thing on Premiere. But since he is the director, he must frame the scene thinking about it. The clothes, the frame, the light, I think all this must be oriented to help the masking if he is not...

I use Vegas, so I don't remember how to make it on Adobe Premiere. But the concepts are absolutely the same. If you research for this things, you will be able to do this. So, you have to learn: 1) How to manipulate the velocity of the video, to freeze the frame you want; the better way to do...

Hm... do you know something about editing / compositing? Which editing software are you using? A mask is a resource used to hide or show a specific area of an image. With this, you can take control of this area without change the rest. In your case, you need to mask the actor in order to be...

I see. You can do it creating a mask around the actor in a duplicated track. With this mask, you can control separately the background and the actor in this frame.

There are a lot of ways to do that. You want exactly the cartoon effect? Or do you want the "mortal kombat finish him" effect, when the background goes dark and the actor get a saturated color above it? Or the 'collage effect', when the actor appears like a paper cut? There are really a lot of...

I think someone should make a film about the mistake of putting billions of people inside a single word or to talk in the name of them, hehe. That's a good 'relationship' thematic. ;)

Actors. No matter what is written on the script, actors need to make it real. If not, the director is there to correct it.

Hmm, you're right. I have a Vixia S30 and just remembered it comes with a particular software with it's own concepts. I never used because it's useless for any professional, but now makes sense hehe. :) I got the manual to see and it says it cannot be converted USING the camcorder (and this...

It made sense in the past, with another technologies and another concepts. Today, no more. And this manual probably was printed many years ago or at least was written.

Correct. Standard Definition is not a framerate, it's a resolution. Your editing software will be able to encode this resolution with any framerate. The DVD's default is this Standard Definition, MPEG-2 for video AC-3 for audio 720x480 as resolution. An important tip: if you don't want your...

This "SD" from the cards means Secure Digital, it has nothing to do with SD resolution. SDHC is Secure Digital High Capacity, while SDXC is Secure Digital Extended Capacity. When the manual or the camera says you can't convert it to standard definition, it's saying that you can't change the...

Nothing important. Maybe they are trying to say that if you want to share it on a website, is good for you to record with both framerates for the case the server only allows one. But it doesn't make any sense at the current time anymore.

24P! You don't need the 60i files for a movie - just a waste of hard disk.

The PF24 generates 60i files encoded in order to be able to apply a pulldown removal on the editing software. The 24P (or 24F) will output a 23,97 framerate without pulldown. edit: oops, while I was writting, Zensteve already answered hehe.
