If you were contracted (1099) by a production company to do a job, would you rather work at an hourly, daily, or weekly rate? Also, put what job(s) you do, it might help to know if a PA would rather be daily and a Production Manager would rather be hourly. PS. Is there any way to do surveys...

I like the old board better.

I’m exporting a test of an opening sequence that I’m building in AE. I go to export a low res test by adding to the render queue like I always do. It gets about 3/4 of the way done, and then gives me an error that there is not enough disk space. I am using an external hard drive that has...

I have some poorly shot footage from 2 cameras that are beyond my ability to color correct decently with the tools in Premiere 6.5. Does anyone have any suggestions on color correction software?

Does anyone have use of likeness and liability waiver templates for children under 18 I can have?

There’s another post that reminded me of a conundrum that I’ve been facing. It’s in two parts: 1. I have heard conflicting reports about importing and exporting to tape. I know that according to the specs for DV, it can go through at least a hundred (give or take) generations before there are...

Does anyone know if this thing can generate bars and tone. I don’t find any mention in the manual, and nothing that looks like it in the menu, but I thought I’d ask to be sure.

I may have to take a crash course in Final Cut in a couple of weeks, and I was wondering if anyone had any good suggestions on a book or something to get. I am very familiar with all the Adobe Products and I haven’t used FC in at least 4 years and even then it was an older version. Any...

Does anyone have a tape catalog template for Excel or something?

Hey hey. Just got a light meter, and I was wondering, does anyone know the effective iso of a Canon XL1 (not XL1s)?

I just bought a kit so it’s a little late to ask for opinions, but has anyone used the wamcards (http://www.warmcards.com)? They look like the effect is similar to a Tiffen 812 filter or a FL-D.

Hey everybody, I found an interesting site, www.ryze.com. It’s a networking place for all professions, so there are a lot of non-film people there, but there are also film folks. Take a peek, and look me up, Christopher Smith-Naill.

Anybody got one they’re interested in parting with?

Is there a technical term to the shooting style where time is distorted? Like if a scene was shown in fast forward or skips short segments of time to give a jumpy/jagged look.

Do you know if any of the major editing platforms (Avid, FCP, Premiere) have multi-user or server based versions of the program? For instance, can a user log onto a mainframe or server on a remote terminal and run the program on the server, where the terminal doesn’t actually house the program...

I’m a PC guy, but I think it’s important to learn FCP and some other programs which aren’t supported on the PC platform. But I don’t know didilly swat about apple. So I have a few questions, and your advice would be appreciated. First let me say that I really only want a laptop. I can get an...

:!: There is an evil, evil website (http://www.commercialalert.org/) :evil: that is trying to destroy TV as we know it. They are introducing legislation to make it so that networks have to make a pop-up on shows that use product placement notifying the viewer that this shot of X (Coke...

I am in pre-production for a short I’m producing scheduled for production on 10/29. It’s just an art short that should only take one day to shoot. Our production company has DV camera systems but we also have what my DP calls a “mini 35” system which is basically an adaptor that will allow...
