I think this is the correct forum for this question, if not I apologize in advance. Is it possible to do effective CG at DV resolution? For example green screen work or person rotoscoped/morphed into a tree, 3d designs with live action.

Great editing job, it definitely kept my interest all the way through. Also, what did you shoot this with/on?

Thank you very much for the feedback. That was actually one of the guys holding a light right there, he was moving a bit and it showed up. There was very little I could do about it except for put a widescreen matte over it, which I didn't do.

Hey, I'd just like to get some feedback on this music video. I did it last fall, it was my second one. It was extremely low budget ($25), but it was still fun. It was an artist/band Phil Whitman and the song is called "Monsters". I appreciate any feedback. Phil Whitman "Monsters"...

I've done some stuff in post using FCP HD after using a GL-2. I have the Nattress Film Effect plug-ins, which actually do a good job of "converting" 60i to 24p. Granted, the lighting and everything when in production play a factor on how good the video will look afterward. I've also used...

I haven't had any fist fights in my stuff so far, but I have someone punching another character in one I'm working on soon. What is the best way to shoot one character punching another and making it look realistic? Thanks...

DigiBeta was actually the planned output method, but I had not thought about that as the capture method.

I've been approached by an artist about a music video which times out at 00:03:36. Now, we want to shoot on film, Super 16mm of course. We've got 6 total setups, which I'm estimating one 400' roll per setup. Minus camera costs and using a conservative shooting how much should I estimate for...

I'm really late to this one, but Magnolia would be another one that is in this style. Possibly Robert Altman's Short Cuts as well as his movie Cookie's Fortune.

Thanks for the help/information. Scott: It's 400' mags, French and it comes with the Angenieux zoom lens. Does anybody know if this camera has some kind of special mount on it that only fits one type of lens, like some cameras I've looked at have, or can I use different lenses with this...

Alright, so I'm thinking about buying a Super 16mm Eclair ACL (converted from 16mm). It has crystal sync as well as an up to 75fps motor. It comes with two 400' magazines, lens, flight case, and some extras. The price it was offered to me at was $3,750. It was recently (March) checked...

I'm looking to build a faux wall for a set inside a house. Does anybody know how much drywall costs and where it can be purchased in a small quantity. Everything I've come across takes only large orders or doesn't post prices. I know it's kind of a strange question, but any info would be...

Actually, you need a permit (contact your local film and television office) to shoot in a public place. At least that's the case here in Nashville, TN. If you're caught without a permit, you can get fined. If it's private property, you need to get the property owners consent. Finally, if a...

I like the idea, but I think it should stop at the conversational point and with the conscience guy going through the baggage. It could be both funny and serious when you go back and forth and with what he finds in the boxes from the "host's" childhood, etc. The main problem for me is, with...

To clarify, it's a pretty established artist, granted he's somewhat underground as far as popularity, but also somewhat well known. I don't know if that makes a difference.
