Choosing a standard prime for the 550d... I have a 550d/T2i and am looking for a lens within the 28-35mm mark, so basically, the equivalent of around a 50mm lens (with the 1.6 crop). At the moment I'm tossing up between the canon 28mm 1.8, sigma 28mm 1.8 or the sigma 30mm 1.4... Are there any...

Hi everyone! I've just got a few questions I'm trying to get cleared up for a student production that we're shooting on 16mm. 1. The director wants the colours to be quite saturated (but not over the top). Is there a certain film stock that has this quality? Or should this just be done in...

Hey guys, I've got a very "newb" question... Following continuity editing, are the following allowed: 1. A long shot from behind a character cuts to a full shot from in front of the same character. 2. A full shot of two characters in dialogue cuts to a medium shot of the same two characters...
