    Super 8mm Ektachrome 100D from Lightpress; 1080p 24fps

    I don't care what anyone says. No matter how incredible digital gets, it will never be able to get the look of film. Amazing work! Beautiful colors!

    Are we Artists or Techno Nerd / Computer Geeks ?

    The only taught, but rarely used, technique I found effective is "You are allowed one gesture per scene. Make it count."

    Are we Artists or Techno Nerd / Computer Geeks ?

    You can't teach human behavior, vulnerability, or interaction. The Stanislavsky, Chekhov, Strassberg methods do nothing for me. And, certainly are proven ineffective for most. We wrapped a film two months ago where my character was an emmaciated novelist. The relatively large cast were doing...

    Are we Artists or Techno Nerd / Computer Geeks ?

    In everything I do, feeling is where my creations emerge. There isn't an explanation for my methods. An example are my two experiences at the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival-Regionals. I was an Irene Ryan Award nominee both instances. It went from 400 actors, to 30, then the...

    New lens and adapter!

    Hey, man I realize you aren't hating on them. Besides, it's your opinion and you are justifying your reasons with concrete facts that I agree with. It was the look that my setup gave me before any post work, that drew me to it. It's the look I've envisioned since I began photography as a child...

    My 'new' HV40 camera

    Imo, camcorders are the way to man! Great camera! Like he said, sound is just as important. Sound can either make or break a film.

    New lens and adapter!

    Okay, so I have a Panasonic tm900, and I needed a more shallow depth of field. I was concerned about prices of a great lens and an adapter, so I borrowed a canon 7d from my buddy who's obsessed with dslr cameras. I figured what the hell, I'll try it out and decide whether or not I want to go...

    movies What's the last film you watched? And rate it!

    Ivan's Childhood 11/10. Tarkovsky never ceases to amaze me.

    George Lucas is retiring.

    I may get others mad at me, but it's my opinion. I was never a fan of anything Lucas has done. I find even the original, untouched Star Wars trilogy to be badly written films, with boring cinematography, and wooden acting. Now, the visuals of the originals are pretty impressive, if you haven't...

    Definitely will keep in contact with you! Real orchestra or, something akin to the, amazing, Philharmonic Orchestra program?

    SD discussion, obsolete by 2012?

    I doubt it will. I, actually love sd over hd. Filmmaking is still a young art form, with possibilties that are limitless. So, why just go for "The latest and greatest"? One should never limit his/herself with new or old. Make it your way. There is no wrong way to doing art. Hell, our current...

    Dream Projects?

    Waiting for Godot, Dog Sees God, Soft Machine, Little Dog Laughed, A Lon Chaney bio pic and use Daniel Day Lewis. Not, Jonny Depp. He just doesn't do it for me as an actor. DDL and Lon Chaney were very similar in terms of emotional investment, physical performances, and chameleon abilities. But...

    Alternate lenses for Panasonic TM900

    Oh okay hahahaha! I mean I am a huge Panasonic fan, though. The gh2 is in my price range. Although, I did make a purchase on a nice dof adapter for the tm900 for practically, pennies. And my buddy is giving me an old 35mm lens for it. I'll see what I think of it, then decide whether I want the...
