    Was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this product. Common sense note: I am not expecting arri build quality, just need to know if they work properly and hopefully don't catch fire as soon as you light them! (that would be a welcomed plus) :D...

    Dialogues with a single camera are so frustrating

    Really frustrated at the moment with a dialogue scene that I quite simply am unable to shoot the way I want without 2 cameras.

    Sound, Support and Lights for the Canon T2i

    I really need your input on three types of equipment that I am in the process of purchasing but am still too uninformed to make a good decision.

    Limited to Canon lenses for the t2i

    First and foremost I’m sorry for creative a topic that is seems to be getting quite repetitive. Having said that, my request is a bit different considering the fact that I have a limitation regarding the supplier where I can purchase my lens from. The reason is a bit absurd and not really worth...
