    shysters

    There is a reality show in town...this is true. The reality show producer was at a party for an 'A' list actor and this producer of this reality show met up with someone who was working at the party (a staffer aka the shyster). The shyster owns a small business in the city and has a reputation...

    No more cheap mics

    Okay I have had it with cheap mics. The ones I can use range up to 50 dollars. Even changing the batteries doesn't help much. You tilt it a little to the right or left and it doesn't pickup anything and it sounds like the person is in the next room. I resorted to the camera mic - because that...

    tungsten and fluorescent lighting

    What is the difference? What is mostly used overall? If you wanted to invest in something inexpensive and safe for indoor use...and also outdoor. If you were using it to shoot people (sounds terrible). Merci.

    Green screen/white screen/red...

    What I am asking is...if you were going to change the background of your shot, would you use the green screen only? Are the other colors maybe just for interviews and photographic purposes? Merci

    use of umberellas in lighting

    I am using cheap lights right now. They actually work pretty well but for the fact that the light is bouncing off the fake wooden wall behind me (me being the 'actor' in this shot). It really bothers me to see this white circle against the wall which is clearly coming from the light in front of...

    free stock footage?

    I have googled it but either it wasn't free or it didn't have what I was looking for. Basically I was hoping to get footage of a model T. I ended up on some website that had loads of it but wanted your cc/name rank and serial number. I was hoping someone had some footage of this car...but...

    Getting rid of the 'orange' in lighting

    I have this shot I want to take thats suppose to take place in a bar. I have a bar in the basement but that didn't pan out. With the cheap fake dark wooden walls, I couldn't get it light enough and it looked orangy. So I moved to the kitchen where it is brighter. I thought I would shoot from an...

    atr 35s lav - buzzing and noisy

    I know this lav mic is really really cheap so I am not expecting miracles...but I am not expecting this terrible buzzing sound either. I checked the battery, checked to ensure device was 'on' and that it was plugged into the camera well. No joy. What is it I can check to stop the buzzing? It...

    A lav AND shotgun?

    I was reading someplace that suggest using a lav mic AND a shotgun. Realizing great sound is the objective...isn't that a little too much? What would be the reason for using both? I can sign out mics at the local network here...and would I need to use both? I have the intention to shoot...

    still have a canon hf200 that I cannot use....

    I have this canon hf200 that is useless to me now. I record video, hook it up to the computor and nothing happens. Its as if it doesn't exist. I had to stop using it because it drove me crazy and thus have been using a cheaper camera that has NO issues at all - but is limited. I have windows...

    sound effects - the other voice on the phone

    I am sure this has been discussed but I don't even know how to search for it. Its a telephone call where the camera is only focused on one subject but the voice of the other caller can be heard. If I were filming Mary sitting down on the phone talking to Susie...but we only hear Susies...

    Sony Vegas 10/is it me or the system?

    I already finished the 12min project I started and editing was a devil in and of itself. A problem I had was when I would send the finish to Sony dvd archetech...then I would get a flash that read 'Sony is not working at this time' and shut itself off. I would have to open it up again and try...

    Free trials for editing systems...that support avchd

    I wanted to try adobe premere but it states in the trial it does not include avchd. Well, that does me no good at all. Is there an editing system that does offer a trial and includes everything? Not Sony Vegas because I already have that. Thanks

    legalizing your name...

    Don't know if thats the correct term but...this is for producing all my own work...under the name I choose...so that anything I do would be under that name. If I wanted to use Libby Films (an example) what do I do to ensure: A. No one else uses it from here on in and B. No one else has that...

It is funded by admission fee's / donations and tax dollars because its also a museum. If I wanted to prop the small camera on a tripod and shoot the exterior of this...
