    Opinions on High Frame Rate films? (I think that's what it's called)

    As far as tv's go, 60hz being the standard refresh rate, newer tvs have come out with 120hz and 240hz, and I would agree, I don't care for the 120/240hz modes. To me, they are ok for sports, but for movies, they make things look like they are home videos. Just my opinion, of course. At the...

    cinematography Shooting with the JVC GY-HD100U

    While I can't say I've used it. I did edit a teaser for a reality travel show, where they used this camera. If the camera has good light, the picture was amazing. When there wasn't good light, not so good. But I don't imagine that to be an issue with a feature, as you'll probably be lighting...

    VFX software

    There's a bit if a learning curve, but Blender, which is a free open source 3D program, can do node based compositing. So you can do a lot of te same things that AE does. I use both AE and Blender. To me, the node based compositing isn't as familiar as te layer based compositing if after...

    cinematography Magic Lantern

    I have a 60D, with Magic Lantern installed. As far as the layout goes, there isn't anything different with your menus. Magic Lantern has their own menu system, that you can get access to by pressing the garbage button (at least on mine). Then you use your typical ways to scroll through menus, to...

    Windows 8 64bit or Windows 8 Professional 64bit? Which to get?

    The program ill be using now, is called sIBL Edit. It's for processing HDR images, for use in 3D animation. As I said in the original post, I may eventually build a dedicated PC, with SLI support, for 3d rendering. Once I go that route, and I upgrade to Adobe CS6, ill be able to run a copy on...

    Windows 8 64bit or Windows 8 Professional 64bit? Which to get?

    Yes, you are correct. I was just trying to figure out between Windows 8 and Windows 8 Professional (both 64bit). My Mac Pro is 64Bit capable, and when/if I build a dedicated PC, it will be also. So aside from Remote Desktop (don't think or know that I'd need this) and Media Center. Any other...

    Windows 8 64bit or Windows 8 Professional 64bit? Which to get?

    This might be a bit off for an Indie Film forum. I use a Mac. In the work I've begun doing, there are certain programs I need that aren't compatible with OSX. For the time being I'm going to bootcamp my Mac, and add a Windows partition (eventually I may build a dedicated PC). What I'd like...

    archived-videos First Timelapse

    Also if you go into Adobe Bridge, and open the folder where your RAW images are located, you can open them all in Adobe Camera RAW (I think is a plug in for photoshop). It's kind of a scaled down version of Adobe Lightroom. I recently learned about it i have CS5 and was installed with the rest...

    color-grading Composer and Color Grader Wanted for Short Film

    Well, I'm sorry I find it funny. I have no issue and no problem with anyone asking for help, or asking for volunteers to work on a project. And I agree, I wouldn't just hand something over to someone. I just find it amusing to ask for free help, or the possibility of limited pay, and in the...

    color-grading Composer and Color Grader Wanted for Short Film

    I wish you all the best. This isn't necessarily directed completely at you. I just alway find it funny that when people ask other people to work for free, that they also ask for links to your work, to see if their interested in allowing you to do some free work for them.

    Is this JVC a better buy than the Black Magic Cinema Camera?

    Could you please explain how the JVC's sensor is "only slightly larger than what sensor you can find on a t2i/t3i/t4i"? http://easybasicphotography.com/digital-camera-sensors.html Also the Red Cameras do not use a Micro 4/3 sensor...

    Budget Vs. Quality of Help

    I've worked in bars and night clubs for 20 years. I worked with a guy who couldn't go anyplace without getting into some sort of confrontation. Whether it was a fight, shoving match, or just plain shouting match. It was never his fault, to this day I've never been able to convince him otherwise...

    Tokina 11-16mm for canon

    I have the Tokina 11-16. I use it on my 60D and on my FS100. Don't have any links to post for video. Been using it mostly (lately) for trying to learn timelapse. It's a great lens. I decided to get the Tokina, based on some articles I had read. This one about rigging out the fs100 for a film...

    The reason why a lot of microbudget thrillers don't take off is this:

    Do we need to cover the STEAKS vs STAKES issue again...lol.

    Where do you hold your casting call?

    Does that come with a "casting couch" as we'll? :)

    Aerial video - RC helicopter HD footage

    Welcome Darusz, I'm not in your neck of the woods (or continent for that matter). But I've had a huge interest in aerial video for some time now. Based on the rig you say you have, I'm nowhere near the level you are at. I've only recently built a small multi rotor, so I can learn to fly. Hope...

    MAC vs PC for Indie Filmmaking (Dec 2012)

    I've found this to be very true. I've blueprinted a PC System. Been working a lot with 3D programs, and while my mac is handling things ok, I know I can get much better render times if I put together a system geared for it. Plus I'm interested in learning 3ds Max, and they don't offer that in a...

    Rokinon Cine Questions

    I can't argue with this, you are correct. A 35mm lens (designed for a full frame DSLR) is always a 35mm lens, regardless of the sensor size of the camera it is used on.
