    A couple of short film scripts.

    I'm attaching a couple of scripts I've written recently for short films. I'm looking for critique, obviously. If anyone has interest in using them, feel free, just give me credit and a link to the finished product. Thanks in advance for all comments...

    Zoom H6

    This looks pretty friggin' awesome. It's supposed to have improved pre-amps too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBfJveLuANk

    Rolls Mixers

    Since I already have a Zoom H4n, would using a mixer along the lines of a Rolls MX 410 or MX 422 (which I know aren't professional grade equipment) improve the overall signal to the Zoom and make for better audio capture? I can get the MX422 for around $280 delivered. Worth it?

    Looking for writing partner

    Anyone in the Las Vegas area looking for (or know someone that's looking for) a writing partner? I'm trying to develop several short and feature length screenplays and I'm having a lot a trouble since my previous writing partner had his second kid and no longer has the time. I need someone to...

    Magic Lantern vs. the V2 Firmware upgrade for the 7D

    I've never downloaded Magic Lantern and don't know what the benefits are to its use. I've read that an alpha version for the Canon 7D recently came out and is working well. I've also read that the V2 firmware update for the 7D is now available too. Does anyone have an opinion as to the benefits...

    Beastie Boys Adam Yauch RIP

    One of the true greats passed away this week, and I am saddened. These guys not only put out some of the greatest music in hip-hop history (and I'm not even a big hip-hop fan...) but they also produced some the of the coolest videos I've ever seen. RIP Adam. You will be missed... :( Adam...

    Reputable lens repair...

    Can anyone suggest a reputable company that repairs lenses and doesn't cost an arm and a leg? I have a Canon EF-S 17-85mm lens that came with my camera that's acting funky. When using the EF feature, the focus ring has a tendency to stick if I focus to infinity and won't let me shoot a photo...

    Has anyone used an MXL FR series mic?

    I'm looking at the MXL FR-300 and FR-304 and was wondering if anyone had any experience with them. Are they good mics? Are they crap? Do they make good back scratchers? Any and all opinions are appreciated...

    48kHz vs 44.1kHz

    I already have a multi-track recorder that records in 16bit/44.1kHz. However, I'm reading on here that I want a minimum of 16bit/48kHz, and that 24bit/96kHz is even better. So my question is, what is the real difference between them all? After reading about this on other websites, it doesn't...

    Bobcat's new movie...

    If you like Bob Goldthwait's style of filmmaking, you'll be glad to hear that he has a new one coming out called God Bless America. It looks just as dark and twisted as Shakes the Clown and World's Greatest Dad. Here's the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ul4CZrnEFxU Man, I love me...

    Insurance: How much is enough?

    Holy cow. I just finished the first draft of my feature lenght script and counted 14 featured speaking parts, several extra parts, and 15 shooting locations. This is going to end up being a bigger production than I had initially anticipated. What should I expect as far as insurance costs...

    Audio for the budget minded

    Had an idea for low cost audio. I know the consensus is for a Zoom or Tascam style digital recorder, but I was thinking about another route. What about using individual voice recorders? I found a this one on ebay...

    Canon 7D questions...

    I should start by saying that I'm new to the whole DSLR world. A pawn shop by my house has 7D for sale for $1000 that I'm interested in buying. But while looking through the viewfinder, it appears a little cloudy. I tried it with two different lenses, but get the same result. The camera had no...

    watch Looking for critique...

    This is my latest film, although I finished it back in 2009. I'm looking for honest critiques. I know there's a LOT wrong with it as far as camera use is concerned. I have shots that are blown out, others with un-steady tracking, some out of focus, and a lot of other rookie camera operator...
