Hi guys! Here again seeking stellar advice. I've got two big gigs coming up. One is a short format documentary, one is coverage for a sports even (CrossFit). All my experience (24 months) is on my T3i, and I have been able to pretty much do whatever I want with it. However, these gigs are...

Seeking advice or tips. I want to do an inspirational video for my gym. Get fit, live longer, reach goals and and all that.. I used to love that ytube video with an inspirational speech over images of athletes 'conquering' goals. Now that it has been a while and there are half a hundred...

The Project: A 4 day road trip documenting a band. Shots would include club shots, low light, nudity, drunkeness, tour bus and mayhem. It's a one man production, sound, edit, filming, etc. It needs to be fast and show a decent level of quality. Priorities in order: Speed to clear shot (auto...

Hi guys, I have the tough task of doing a memorial video for an acquaintance of ours. I love this track> https://www.pond5.com/stock-music/993965/my-father-delicate-emotional-respectful-music-track.html .. but I recently used it on a project that all my friends are familiar with. Does anyone...

1st thing, damn, my premier account ran out lol.. gonna have to re-up. :D Need some sage advice. Small but awesome and growing company wants to do a viral video attempt (similar to Parkour). I pitched a solid idea 2mins or so, three actors, one location, one camera, (probably more), energetic...

Yep you heard it, I'm going to Disneyland! So, I want to take my t3i.. :D ..and I want to ride the rides, and eat churros! That means, I need a new bag. I am thinking about one of the over the shoulder tactical bags, but I am sure you guys know better than I.

Hi all, I can finally show my second music video attempt. I had a blast, and I am relieved my camera is still intact, hahaha.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=am9AmG5aQMM?hd=1 I thought it was a pretty solid execution I learned a lot and I have a lot of ideas for the future. Keep in mind...

Was thinking Zoom h4 or h2. I am really bugged by the fact you have to hit record twice for some reason. I also want the best built in Mic's.. I plan on capturing interviews more than anything else. Secondarily it will be used on the hot shoe and maybe hooked to a rode shotgun. Any thoughts?

.. I don't want to ask out in public, so I posted to ask a Pro. By my limited accounts, I found indie music vid budgets range from 4,000 to 6,000. I'm only going by reports from one Record Label. I know some can be waaaay up there, I've even billed more for that just for matte paintings on...

Hi guys, I'm rendering my clips in Lossless AVI at the moment.. and it's eating up my space at an alarming rate. I need a pro's opinion of what good settings are for clips. I have spent hours testing, and my results are marginal. All the best, R

I'm a painter, and have worked in post effects for years, but I amazed that I never really realized how much color correcting thought went into film.. I am currently correcting to my taste.. Basically, free eyeing to a warm or cool lumanistic feel, depending on how the scene lends itself...

Just wondering thx. R

The scenario is, I want some wash light, key light, and secondary light, in the deep woods, water, mud, and no power for miles.. Oh, and carry on luggage.. impossible? Haha, I'm nuts... I'm thinking battery powered led light is the obvious way to go, but I am not sure which one. Some of them...

Did anyone see the Deadliest Catch episode about filming?! It was amazing.. definitely must watch! The cameramen are filming through waves, ice and snow.. Does anyone have a favorite way to rig a DSLR for these kind of conditions? I have some mud/sand/dust/swamp/rain conditions I need to...

Worst: ...What piece of kit did you buy that you thought you HAD to have, but it went under-used or never-used in the long run...? Best: ...What piece of kit did you buy that you didn't know until later that you could not live without it?! --------------------------

Well, a million questions later, here it is.. I got one or two tweaks, but it's pretty much final. http://vimeo.com/21982694 Thanks to everyone who answered my questions. Best, Rob

Hi guys and gals, I'm about to post my first vid in the Premier Lounge. I wanted to thank everyone who helped me get from 0 to Now over the last few weeks.. I know I asked more than my fair share of questions, and I really wanted to thank everyone in the community that helped me get over and...

If I want to have an effect (like vignetteing) throughout an entire video, does it make sense to do it on individual clips, or apply it to the final edit? I have some fiddly, vocals to line up.. so it would be helpful if I could render on the final edit. ...but, I don't want to create a...

.. man I am feeling like the million questions guy. I know most people achieve the look through AE and I've found some tutorials to the effect.. I'm just wondering if that is the industry standard. I'm looking to add an anamorphic bloom to some moving lights, and I am looking for an effect...
