Hi all! So over the last couple of days I decided to try my hand at emulating the look of early 1950s film, and made it in black-and-white for good measure. I'll just post the description from my Vimeo account here: As said above, this is a test video for a very spoof-tastic film I'm...

You have no idea how happy all of that has made me! Indeed it does! And yes I realized it. :P It just would be easier (or, more accurately, light on the mind) to just pay it all at once instead of worrying about a monthly charge!

So I couldn't get Lightworks to work in a Virtual Machine, turns out it didn't like the virtualization of an internet connection and just wouldn't activate. Oh well. Just for grins, I downloaded the trial of the new FCP X. It's heaps and bounds better than the last trial I used, and I could...

I wonder, did David Letterman ever realize that was all a stunt pulled by Crispin? Joaquin Phoenix did a very similar thing not too terribly long ago... minus the kicking, of course. :P Definitely some good ideas in that article, thanks for sharing! :)

What ND filters would you recommend, Will?

Heh, good point. I guess I just meant that it would potentially speed up development. I'm just a wishful thinker! In the meantime, I'm downloading VMWare Fusion, Ubuntu, and I will try Lightworks that way - I know it won't be the most efficient test, but I figure if it runs well in a virtual...

That's fantastic! I wish I could afford one. :P

Not technically, but if you look at the pictures/videos people have taken with it, it has a VERY similar look to a fisheye. In other words, it's only good for faraway landscape shots, or for adding a really unique look to some videos. What I meant to say in my last post is that somehow, it has...

Now THIS is a promising looking thing! What camera(s) did you shoot this on? If it was a DSLR, that's outstanding. Excellent work. You're very inspiring!

Yeah, I'm going to get the Tokina afterall - somehow the Rokinon 14mm is a fisheye, while the Tokina isn't. Plus the Tokina, as you said, gives you a bit more options! And 8mm lens would be kinda fun, though! :P

I could see it benefiting from both models - if it goes open-source, a lot more people could help add/fix features, increase support, and help stabilize a lot more releases. However, too many cooks can also spoil the pot! EditShare could do with a few more native Windows, Linux and Mac...

I have done a lot of looking into Lightworks. It looks seriously impressive, at least for a free editing application. The pro version looks even more impressive and offers a lot of cool stuff! But, it's still lacking in terms of DVD authoring (something you can get through CC, albeit a really...

Ooh, that Tokina looks really very nice... that may very well be the first new lens I get. :D I will take a look at those others as well! Thanks Will! EDIT: Actually, I think I'll go with the Rokinon 14mm Ultra Wide Angle, since some of the new work I want to do this Spring involves a lot of...

Hey guys, So I bought the T3i a while ago because of the problems with the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera (which, a month later they fixed every issue... of course! :P ), and so far I've still only got the 18-55mm kit lens. I'm wondering what other (Canon) lenses I should get that are...

True. I think I'll just do that for now, since I really just need an NLE at the moment (iMovie is NOT enough for what I need to do!). I already have Motion 5 for effects/compositing work, so don't really need After Effects. And if I decide I DO want After Effects, upgrading my plan wouldn't be...

Sadly, no. I wish I were just for the pricing! I did just look into LightWorks - if they can get the Mac version out relatively soon, that would definitely tide me over until I could afford the CC subscription. LightWorks looks a bit like a simplified Avid - and that's a very, very good...

I think you guys have convinced me to go the Adobe route. Although it might be hard to figure out a way to afford $50/month, it would be well worth it - especially since it would grant me access to literally EVERY pro application from Adobe! I thought it was $600 after the first couple of...

Hi guys, I'm still shopping around for some decent editing software. I was wondering how many people here have the latest version of Final Cut Pro X and if you could tell me what you like/dislike about it. Right now, it seems my only choices for Mac are Adobe CC and FCP X - and I'd rather...

Thanks for the heads-up!

Rebel T3 doesn't have video capability, I believe. All the EOS (or EOS Rebel) cameras do. Those are the ones you want!
