Yes thank you so much guys. Sometimes getting stuck on something just tends to make the rewrite worse and worse. Those are great points and I should really trust my instincts a little more.

If anyone can give me some input on this I would greatly appreciate it - I just cant seem to get this scene to work to my satisfaction. Its from a 6 page short and this is essentially the components making up ACT 2 and 3, the formatting has been screwed with. I did this on PC FD. When I open...

Yeah he was. Steve was shooting a series on dangerous creatures and was specifically looking for tiger sharks. Conditions being poor, he was stuck with the crew on the boat waiting.... being who he is was bored out of his brain and decided to get some footage for his daughters show. Great...

Bit late... but better late than never. The clip I shot was using a circular polariser which pretty much achieves the same thing.

Sorry maybe I should have been clearer in my post: The original post was referring to CREW and so was I. I only allow crew to give feedback on shots, the actors I let worrying about acting and character input is all I need to discuss with them but thats a whole other subject.

Yeah bad luck on not getting it finished.. seems you learnt some good lessons and then can pass them on to others so thats always a plus! And now you have moved on. Just an aside to the original thread. One thing I like to do is after a sequence of takes on a scene (when I think I have the...

I posted this recently in DVXUSER also.... unrelated to film. But most stuff Im seeing here (Japan) on HDcable is showing up as 525i? PAL? and in widescreen almost half is 1125i? What is this? the other half widescreen is 1080i.... Just not sure how these numbers are worked out. I NEVER see 720...

Of course thats the number one consideration - safety first on set.

oh I wanted to add... for barndoors you can just cut foamcore square and clip them on with your c47 :P or preferred choice of clip.

lol typo... should be reftech. But brand isnt important. Just a round reflector with both white and silver side.

Interesteingly enough I have only seen blu ray stocked on MOST shelves here in Japan. Media, recorders etc.

FCP Studio here. DVD studio pro, is simple to use. You can author menus easily creating templates in ps and incorporating PSD files. I love it.

Shallow depth of field is one thing thats used in an entire toolbag to tell a story. When you watch a movie depending on the the DP its used in varying degrees from very little to a lot. I do have a 35mm adapter for the cam this was shot on, but find few but very artistic shots for it. This was...

you mean something like this? Shot with a shoulder mount so forgive movement.. was just a test. http://www.scarlet-films.com/ant.mov

get a round reeftech and just hang it from any lightstand. Easy and cheap.

For Indie lights ... even softlights I recommend introducing some kind of barndoors so you can specifically direct light. Have plenty of CTB and CTO on hand to get the look you want. Dont forget diffusion. China lanterns are great but they are broad so can make the overall image a little flat.

There is but its difficult to get into for a foreigner, such as me. But I have made some great contacts here, so on and up as they say.

My 2c I use a mac and FCP. Doesnt mean its right for everyone but heres my whys: RT effects - my final outputs with fewer renders are looking great. Integration (adobe has same) with Soundtrack pro, motion, compressor, DVD studio pro, Cinema tools. Now that shake dropped from thousands of...

ncje here returning after a long absence. Currently in pre production on a feature.... I have a production website up and running, however needs some tweaks, will get to that. The production website will eventually become a side component of the movie website once I have enough footage to get...

I realise you didnt ask this Jeff but apart from the colors, BOB / Saving Ryans Privates were shot in 1/500th shutter speed on those intense action shots.
