Just re-read your first post. How in the world did you not find the articles I found after Googling? :P But yes, you are correct in that it keeps everything in focus, hence the term infinity! :)

Let me Google that for you! Basically, "focusing to infinity" is making everything in the image stay in focus. It's like in the movies, when the camera is flying away from a scene, everything stays in focus despite it being hundreds of feet in the air. Hence, the term "infinity". If you want...

With your budget, the T3i can't be beat! It is a very capable camera and because of its lower cost, you can invest a lot more money in the other equipment! Probably one of the best choices you can make. :)

Oh, you HAVE to look at PhilipBloom.net to see what all is possible with a DSLR. Should also help you pick one out from all of his reviews! You can get quite amazing results from DSLRs, thanks to their bigger sensors and obviously because of their compatibility with lenses. If you have a good...

If you're looking for a REALLY affordable camera with manual settings and mic jack, you can't go wrong with a DSLR (like the Rebel T3i from canon, for example, it's only $600 with lens included). Only downsides for them are the following... 1 - 29:59 recording time limit 2 - Rolling...

No, what he's saying is that you shouldn't be able to see ANYTHING at night with such a ridiculously low ISO. It's true that you can have noise from under-exposing, too. Even though you're shooting at a low ISO (which yes, theoretically should give you reduced grain), you NEED light in your...

There will ALWAYS be noise in low light situations. Always. You can just make it less noticeable by using a lower fstop (say, for extreme examples, like f/0.95 (but good luck finding a lens like that, haven't found one that isn't the Voigtlander)) and increasing the available light in the scene...

You seem to be under the impression that a DSLR has perfect, noiseless low-light performance. Not even the highest quality film camera can record a perfectly noise/grainless image in extreme low light (like a single street light). And chances are they'd have the ISO turned up to at least 1600*...

It's kind of a bad idea to have two threads about the same subject.... Why make a new thread about it when there was plenty of good information posted in the other one?

Oh, I definitely agree about the shot with the boxer shorts. Not good. I'd recommend completely editing it out, it really served no purpose at all.

I did enjoy Mushroom Apocalypse. My only problem with it was the alarm tone in the beginning - it went on for WAY too long and it's my least favorite sound in the world! :P But other than that, good job! :)

Thanks for that link ChimpPhobia, I will definitely be backing that project now. :)

I shall save you too! Welcome to the forums, you'll find all sorts of amazing people and help from here! :)

If you're not in it for fame, then of course you have the right to express whatever opinions you want to express. That is a very valid point of yours. I think we all just assumed you were in it for fame (a lot of us are, just look at me! :P), and so we just thought we'd give you advice on how...

I'm a Christian, but I'm not going to go loudly proclaiming it all over the web when I make videos. It pushes away potential viewers if you loudly proclaim it. I'm also going to state that I'm not anti-gay in the slightest. Several of my greatest friends happen to be gay and they don't need...

Y'know, I'm actually in a similar situation at the moment. I want to be a filmmaker, but I live in Wisconsin. Almost nobody I know (except for my best friend's wife) is interested in film or video in the slightest. The closest film-related thing to me is the Beloit Film Festival (literally on...

You live in California, it should be fairly easy to locate a filmmaker's group of some kind! :)

Actually, wide shots are something I was hoping to work on this weekend. :) Not too wide (not like vista shoots or anything, although I REALLY want to shoot some mountainous landscapes soon!), but more natural looking than super up-close in-your-face shots. And I totally agree with what you're...

Thanks! :) It's funny, while I was editing I kept feeling that something was missing. When I put the older sounding music in, I knew that it needed a letterbox on it, and after matching the edits with the music, it seemed perfect. I like it when something like that happens! I feel like the...

Thanks! :) That was actually my younger brother there at the end. He proceeded to act very strange after that, and yes he can be creepy... :lol: Yeah, some shots had way too much noise in them due to improper lighting, and the ISO was too high. I also had the white balance off a bit which I...
