    MoVi - handheld gyroscopic stabeliser

    This technology actually came from multi rotor copters. The gimbals were for use on multi copters. I've been looking into building a copter for flying cameras. I haven't looked into these rigs that much, and have only looked at these videos briefly. But I could post links to half a dozen gimbals...

    Black magic pocket camera lense options?

    On another forum, someone asked about this lens, Panasonic Lumix G Vario 14-42mm f/3.5 -5.6 Asph. / MEGA O.I.S, and John Brawley, the gentleman testing the pocket cam for BMD had this to say. "I have this lens on the pocket cinema camera often. It's a very serviceable lens and crazy cheap...

    So you really like the Artist Color? I've preordered the Pocket Cinema Camera, and have been learning Resolve. Been looking into controllers, and the Artist Color seems to be where I'm leaning.

    My lense will not focus for an extreme close up shot,

    I'd be curious to know what lens that is? Found a YouTube video for a C mount canon tv lens 11-70 f1.4, on a GH2. But didn't find any other links.

    Pretty much how I figured I'd do it if I was shooting it myself. Thanks for the video.

    Canon XF100

    While I can't comment on this specific camera, I spent a great deal of time, many years ago, with the Canon GL1. Which I think is pretty much the Earlier SD version of this camera. Loved that camera. I had given up video for many years, and when I returned about 3 years ago, I started looking...

    My lense will not focus for an extreme close up shot,

    This comes back to another of your posts, where you asked if you should trade you 50mm for another lens. Advice was given to keep your lens, and add to your selection. I've always read if you had to have only 3 lens for film making, you'd want a 35, 50, and 85. But as was stated above, every...

    Canon XF100

    Can I ask what your intended purpose is for this camera? The reason I ask, is because it has a 1/3" sensor. Which is great for reality type run and gun shows, where you want everything in focus. But if your intended purpose of for narrative type films, I wouldn't recommend it. It can't achive...

    editing Any tutorials on this Visual Effect?

    Thinking about this some more, the frame they crawl through doesn't really even have to be the same size as the TV screen. Just the same aspect ratio. Would even be a cooler effect this way. You size to footage down to fit into the TV area. So if your frame is 25% bigger, you footage is reduced...

    editing Any tutorials on this Visual Effect?

    Can't recommend any tutorials. But you shoot the character on a green screen, give them a frame, the same size as the TV to crawl through, and have it at the exact same placement the real tv in the scene would be at. Then shoot the scene with a green screen paper taped to the TV screen. You'll...

    editing DaVinci Resolve vs Magic Bullet Looks

    I spent the money and bought this 11 hour training series. Its pretty awesome. I've preordered the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera, and wanted to learn Resolve Lite prior to the cameras arrival. Can't wait to get my hands on that compressed RAW...

    editing DaVinci Resolve vs Magic Bullet Looks

    I had Magic Bullit, and I am now learning Resolve. It is totally worth the effort to learn. I've even found someone who created a LUT that is designed for putting a starting grade on CineStyle shot footage.

    Is there a local film commission in your city? Could get involved there, to meet like minded individuals.

    How do you shoot in Vancouver when...?

    Sounds like you just answered your own question. I recommend you read a book called "The DV Rebels Guid", by Stu Maschwitz (one of the owners and creators at Red Giant software). http://www.amazon.com/The-DV-Rebels-Guide-All-Digital/dp/0321413644 In one of the chapters he talks about...

    Night vision questions

    Any reason you need a night vision lens, as opposed to filming normal and creating a night vision effect in post production?

    cinematography The cinematography of Drive

    I'm not expert on color grading. But there's more to coloring then just making general color changes to a whole scene. You can use primaries to do general color correction, and secondary's to isolate certain parts of the clip to adjust very specific things. That's why colorist are important.

    Download Davinci Resolve Lite. It's free from BlackMagic Designs. It's every bit as full featured as their $999 version, except it only does up to 1080p, not 2k or 4k. Some great tutorials. I've downloaded and added a LUT modeled after the LUT for CineStyle. davinci resolve lite is very powerful...

    editing Flashing ambulance lights in POST

    This is a bit off topic, but some guns do and some guns don't. And it is entirely up to the film maker to present their film how they choose. But it can also be said there is a perception that movie goers have come to expect from certain things, and a muzzle could be one of them.
