Hi guys, I don't have much experience in blue/green screen so sorry for the dumb question. So I've watched tutorials on Youtube and I have a set up in mind. I will light the blue screen with two Kino Flo's(daylight balanced). In front of the blue screen will will be two presenters, the...

Anyone used this lens? The IS version is double the price. Is the IS worth it, considering it will be mostly used for video? Can you ever hand hold the IS lens and get steady shots?

Anyone used some of their LED lights? I've heard good things,especially about their high CRI lights. I'm thinking about either this http://www.came-tv.com/2x576-led-light-dimmable-daylight-5600k-digital-display-v-mount-p-562.html or this one...

Hi, so I just did a little test shoot. It looked great as the clouds provided a nice diffusion of the sun. But then there were moments where the clouds would move and the sun would blow out the highlights in the shot, which looked horrible. How can I deal with this? I do not have a de clicked...

Has anyone paid for their camera via finance before? I'm trying to kickstart a career as a freelance videographer/corporate video and have a few paid gigs lined up for this year. I wanna upgrade from my 6D, most likely to the A7S so I'm looking into finance. I wanna pay as little as possible...

I'm filming an interview video, I have a Zoom H4n and Rode NTG 1, but I assume a lapel mic would be better for an interview so I'm looking to buy one. I usually work as a one man band so I need something I can operate myself. In terms of budget, I'd really like something in the same budget as...

https://vimeo.com/55183935 For example, the shot at 00.11, and lots of other shots in that short. I've seen this affect used in other shots as well. It's definitely something physical in front of the lens somehow. Anyone have any ideas how it's done? Yes I've tried asking the creator of the video.

My dream is to be a commercial/music video/short film director and to eventually make the transition into feature films. I really would love to get into a advertising/video production agency, making music videos and adverts. I've got an interview for a corporate/marketing video job. The job...

I'm interested in getting into freelance videography/video production, are there any agencies or websites I can look to join?? I have plenty of experience but It's a bit hard just relying on word of mouth to get paying gigs... Can anyone advise me please

Any Blackmagic cinema camera owners in here? I'm seriously looking into getting the Blackmagic 2.5k Ef mount. I'm tired of relying on my 6D for filmmaking and having to deal with soft image, bad moire, crap dynamic range and blown out windows in the background of shots. I'll still keep my 6d...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTvjMp0_cDw&feature=youtu.be Keep in mind this hasn't been mixed yet, I just synced the sound to the visuals in premiere and tried to do a little bit of tidying up by upping the volume and trying to make the sound cuts not as obvious with a crossfade. Although...

Preferably Uk based but I'd be interested in other ones too! I know the big ones like Raindance, Encounters, etc...I'd be interested in hearing more about other smaller ones, e.g. Portobello Film Festival. Thanks!

What is the Manfrotto fluid head under £200? (second hand) Right now I'm leaning towards the 502. Or if you know of any better brands in the same price range that's fine as well, as long as I can use it with my Manfrotto tripod legs. Thaaanks :)

Okay please don't shoot me down. I have a Zoom h4n, Rode Videomic+ dead cat with Rode extension cord and a boom pole. I know this set up is far from professional, it's not an xlr mic for a start. But can I still get decent(by Youtube, indie film standards! Not hollywood standard) sound for my...

Everyone has their own way of doing things. As a director do you do your own shotlist or do you leave that to the DOP? Some DOPs want to be in charge of the shotlist, but the way I work I do the shotlist and then hand that to the DOP. I'm the kinda director who relies so much on visual...

I'm thinking of applying for some runner jobs, but the problem is I don't drive. I definitely eventually plan to but I just can't afford to pay for the driving lessons yet. Would this go against me? Is it a must have?

So I did this short scene not long ago with an actor friend of mine for her showreel. https://vimeo.com/98182966 We're now working on it to develop it into a full short film. I'm trying to find some good British mystery, adventure, thriller films. I kind of want to go for that old school Steven...

Any opinions if this is a good route to get into the film industry? Ive done quite a lot of corporate videography work, I enjoy doing things like adverts and would happily do them as a full time job. Obviously the dream is to eventually work in film though. I just want to start earning decent...

What is a good budget shotgun mic for the Zoom h4n? Something around the price range of the Rode Ntg1 and 2. I hear those two are great mics but do not work too well with the H4n because of the weak phantom power or something along those lines. Or am I wrong about that? What is a good...

I'm looking for some interesting and stylish behind the scenes videos for musicians/artist. This is the only one that comes to mind for me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B--ZARCwSIE but I know i've seen plenty of interesting ones usually being advertised on youtube but I can't seem to recall...
