    the future of FPS

    I'm not fan of 3D, don't think it adds to the movie. With that said, I saw the movie in 24p 3D, because I knew Peter Jackson shot it specifically for 3D. I didn't know one of the theaters near me was offering in 48p 3D. So when I have the time, I am going to see it, just because I'd like to...

    MAC vs PC for Indie Filmmaking (Dec 2012)

    Ill throw my 2 cents in this, from a video standpoint. I have a Mac, and my main drive (SSD) holds only my program files. Then I have a project drive (does what is sounds like, it's where I save my FCP or PP or AE projects too). Then I have my Media drive (where I save all footage, sounds and...

    Rokinon Cine Questions

    I own the fs100, and I am interested in these Ronkinon as well. Besides some old canon fd eBay lens, my first major len buy was the Canon 17-55 f2.8 (use on both my fs100, with Metabones adapter and 60D), and also the Tokina 11-16 f2.8 (also canon mount). Both crop sensor lens. So I'm covered...

    cinematography Is "Clerks" a Bad Movie?

    Kevin Smith is one of my favorite writer/directors. He has a low brow sense of humor that appeals to me. I saw clerks after having seen Mall Rats, and Dogma. And I wouldn't classify it as my least favorite KS movie, but its also not very high on the list. I happen to love the Jay and Silent Bob...

    What's a good split diopter for the T2i.

    Listen H44. Just buy the lens. I'm sure you have everyone's blessing here. That's the answer you are looking for right? I read your threads, every time someone gives you a reply contrary to what you are looking for, you have an excuse as to why you can't do what they suggest, regardless if what...

    HeliCam, Aerial Video and Photography

    Very nice video, I've always loved aerial video. I can't speak on his particular rig, but I've done a lot of research on aerial video. The rig I would like to build, is about 6k, and that's if I build it. If I let the company "professionally" build, it's any where from 10k to 15k, depending on...

    Different shots with a single-cam setup

    Since the original question somewhat crosses into this, I will once again recommend the video series. I've learned a lot from it, and continue to rewatch all the time. The masters course in high end blocking. http://www.hollywoodcamerawork.us/mc_index.html I have no affiliation with this...

    New Camo

    At my restaurant, I have a tv on CNN all day. They did a feature on that stuff, last week. Only caught in glancing, but was pretty cool. Started the piece off showing the clip from the first Harry Potter movie, where he gets the invisible cloak for Christmas.

    editing RAW to Prores workflow?

    Can I ask why you want to film in RAW, and convert to Prores? Is it for 12bit Raw files? Are you going to be manipulating the footage before converting (color correcting, day to night, something like that)? The BMD cinema camera can film in Prores, no need to film RAW and convert, unless there's...

    What options for making intro clip of logo?

    There is a 3D modeling program called Blender, where you could do what you want. It's a cool and very powerful program. It's also free. Definitely takes some time to learn. I've been obsessed with it, since I can't afford the commercial programs. You can find the program here www.blender.org...

    Producer Rep Fee? What should I do?

    The name in their "About us" section is Jon Gursha. There is an IMDB page for a Jon Gursha, but doesn't contain any of the credits listed on the website you listed. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm4613519/ I can't fine anything specific on a "Peter Greene", although there is a very famous actor by...

    Producer Rep Fee? What should I do?

    Why are their pictures cartoon drawings and not actual pictures? I don't want to trash someone who's up and coming, but even their sites a little on the fishy side. I'd ask for references. Doing a Google search on their office address, takes you to a company that offered virtual office space...

    Producer Rep Fee? What should I do?

    Have you done any research on this group? Are you willing to post the name of the company? There are some great researches on these forums, and they'd probably be able to dig up anything on them. I'm skeptical on anyone wanting money up front for anything. What have they done? How are they...

    Is Geek Squad and Best Buy insurance worth it?

    I bought a fairly expensive video camera. I called my home owners insurance company (I'd be happy to give you the company name if you pm me, it's a national company, but don't want to throw it out in a thread unless I'm asked), any ways, $85 for the year, I'm fully covered, as long as its for...

    How do I make my actors look naked?

    You can get skin colored shorts and for the ladies skin colored bra. Or even skin colored body suits. Then have them streak, and you can blur the appropriate sections to give the illusion of nudity.

    Questions about "found footage" films?

    While I can't comment on the found footage aspect of your question. I wanted to comment, that I really like your idea, but I'm not sure where the found footage portion comes into play? Reads like a straight forward narrative project. Guy sends himself an email from the future, girlfriend finds...

    archived-videos 11th Dimension Visual Effects Reel 2012

    It's encouraging to hear you say you are self taught. I have been interested in Maya or 3ds Max for sometime, but the $3500 plus price tag has been a bit much to get past (although spending 10k plus on camera gear wasn't....lol). Since I started learning about this indie filmmaking hobby, I've...
