great thanks. Think they would trade the canon for a minolta? Im not too experienced so I dont know about prices. I just want a lens so I can test the 35mm adapter

it says it has a Minolta mount. So would I still need to buy canon adapter to use the fd 50mm lens, or would it be better to just get a minolta lens?

I own the Redrock 35mm adapter and I needed a lens for it. I found a "Canon FD 50mm 1:1.8 lens." Will this lens work? Ive tried attaching it but It either doesnt fit or im doing something wrong.

Thanks. Ok, say I were to take it one step further and invest in RED camera. 25, 30,000 bucks. Has anyone ever gone down that road or known anyone who has? I've heard people make their money back within a year but I haven't heard anything bad about the investment. It seems like a no brainer to...

I would like to start renting out my Canon XH-A1S camera but I don't know where to start. I don't want to open up a business, I just want to do this for a little cash on the side. The local production company in my town rents this same camera and similar cameras for about 100 to 150 a day. Has...

The artist chose to release their song to the public in the first place. If they are so worried about their image, then they wouldn't release it. They released it because 1. they believed it was good enough & the distributors agreed and 2. because they both thought it could make money. Then they...

I don't think I ever said any certain song is beneficial to the movie or tv show itself. It depends on the song. I'm not saying I would pick Journey over a lesser known artist just because more people know Journey's music, i'm saying any artist would benefit from the exposure. There is no...

Well comparing the usage of music in films to stealing a car or murder is a little ridiculous. And I don't believe you're "robbing the artist of potential sales" by putting their song in a film. It's getting major exposure and therefor making people want to seek out the song itself. How often do...

I bought a Canon Xh-a1s for about 3,400. It's HD, and can shoot in 24p. I also bought a Redrock M2 depth of field adapter on ebay for 600 bucks. Look into depth of field adapters if you havn't already. It helps video look a little more like film. But you will also need a lense to go with the...

I have a different view on this whole discussion. Do I think it's ethically and morally wrong to use "copyrighted" music in movies & television? No. Do I think it should be illegal to use old music? No. Do I feel like I am stealing from the artist themselves? No, Will it ever change? No. Sorry...

thanks all, this is everything that it came with. - M2 HD Achromatic lens - 15mm Rod Support System - 18" - Minolta SLR lens mount - Redrock Hard Mount Kit - 82mm - 72mm Step-Down Ring

I recently purchased a redrock m2 adapter. now I need a lens for it. I have a canon xh-a1s. anyone recommend a decent/cheap lens that will work with this rig? also i'm a little confused about the "flip module" without this accessory, will i need to film with the camera upside down? i have not...

you got me all wrong. I didn't find my answers on this site so I looked on another site. whats ungrateful about that? and Alcove Audio assumed that I do this for a living, when it is merely a Hobby. I don't need the "well back in my day we did it this way" speech. So instead of simply answering...

I got my answers from other people on another forum on another website! But Thanks!

I like filmmaking, I don't like shopping! I just don't like searching all over and comparing prices. It's exausting.

yeah, but im lazy and want the answers to come to me!

lets say under 500 just for sound equipment, I know some rode mics that go for under 200, but im not sure about other stuff i would need

I'm trying to round up some sound equipment. I'm filming with a Canon XH-A1 and I am wondering what boom mic to get. what other things will i need, if i buy a mic that mounts to the camera can i use that on a boom?

Thanks for all the advice. I do like the 7D footage but not sure if thats the camera for me. and the Scarlet seems like it's going to be more expensive then they are telling people. and ive heard rumors that its going to be impossible to edit without some kind of super computer. maybe im wrong...

So if I want to use a 35mm adapter, either the redrock or letus. Which camera would it be easier/cheaper to attatch to. The XH-A1 with a fixed lens or the Xl-H1A with interchangeable lens system. Or does it matter??? and I'm a little slow but i'll need another lens either way, right???
