Hello! I'm doing some test shots with a few new lenses, my first footage coming from my first decent camera (GH2) and doing some screen tests for my first short. Lots of firsts! When I'm doing color grading, is this done on a shot by shot, scene by scene basis, or is a universal grade created...

Alright, I've gotten my camera set up squared away, now I need to get my audio up to par. I'm looking for a cheap way to record my audio (separately from camera) via a AT897 shotgun mic. I've seen digital audio recorders, but their price is higher seemingly due to the fact that they have...

Would this anamorphic work well with a Helios 44M on my GH2? It's a KOWA Anamorphic 35 Ultra MC 2/90MM Thoughts on it?

Hello, As my GH2 makes its way to me in the mail, I'm looking to go with a vintage anamorphic setup. My concern is, I realize it's impossilbe to pull focus with this setup, unless I literally have two people. Are there ways around this? Would I be able to focus the anamorphic to infite and...

I finally have the camera I've been drooling over for months!! I will admit this thread is somewhat celebratory in nature :) But, honestly while it's on its way being shipped, I'm trying to figure out which hack will be right for me. I've heard Driftwood is great but unstable and will cost me a...

Hello! I'm looking for a core 2-3 lenses that would be versatile enough to potentially shoot a feature length. I'm looking for lenses that would be good for dramatic dialogue scenes, low light (a fast lens?) and some landscape / wide shooting. I'd like to keep the price at a reasonalbe amount...

So, you guys have been awesome in encouraging me to start giving screen writing a try, even though I'm very new to it (I have a digtial art / media / photography background). I am really attracted to directing and achieving a great aesthetic look, but I'm expanding and taking on some screen...

I hope this isn't 'advertising' by a composer, I just wanted to let you guys know I'm able to license out this music for absolutely free. (As I wrote it) Here is my band's entire album https://soundcloud.com/stockholmband/sets/eyes-in-the-dark-2012-1 I have all of these as instrumentals for...

Alright, I'm a first-time filmmaker embarking on my first short film. I come from a digital art / technical background, so I think achieving a high quality image will not be the main challenge to me, as I have a strong background in photography and overall visual composition rules (rule of...

Wow, I remember looking at this camera right around Thanksgiving of last year, and since then it's nearly doubled in price. Why? I recently read about the Lumix G6 being a good competitor to the GH2? Thoughts?

I'm scripting out my first feature, and I'm consideirng location limitations as I'm writing. I have access to a pretty decent size wilderness area in south Florida. Large rolling oyster hills, a few dead tree expanses, some really cool landscapes, basically. My concearn is that I grew up...

I'm working on my first indie feature. I have 4-5 'ok' ideas, widdling them down to 1 to begin really hashing out a full spec script. What is a good resource to use as a structure for a linear screen play? As detailed a structure as possible would work great. I'm finding that organization of my...

Hello there, So I have been a digital artist for years now (2D), and I've always gravitated towards cinematic story-telling tones in my imagery, I'm also a classical pianist so I deeply enjoy music (especially film scores). Soo, after I was nearly killed in a car crash a few weeks ago, I've...
