    Hate to burst your bubble, but...

    I'm not sure any one who watches zombie films actually thinks they will come to pass. An amusing read never the less.

    What Fans Want In Female Action Stars

    What do I want in a female action hero? Summer Glau.... Seriously though, you should watch the scene in Serenity where she 'gets triggered' and beats up a bar full of dudes, and later on where she beats up a room full of reavers. She moves gracefully, which is how a tiny little girl should...

    New Mac system

    I'm gunna go ahead and say don't bother with an iMac and here's why, they have all the disadvantages of a laptop (virtually impossible to replace individual components, if the screen goes the entire system is fekked, in fact if *anything* dies the entire system is fekked), with none of the...

    Equipment Priorities?

    One last point, don't neglect hard drive space. Ideally a terabyte, but at least 500 Gb. HD footage takes up a lot of space.

    Equipment Priorities?

    I swear I'm not a Nikon fanboy ( I shoot Sony) but the D90 was the first DSLR to shoot video, it's bound to have some floors, plus the 7D is 4 times the price and is full frame (35mm equivalent). Just checked and even the Nikon D3s, their flagship model doesn't shoot in 1080p. Fail. Nikon you...

    DSLR vs. Camcorder

    Anyone who tells you anyone who tells you that you have to use a tripod is lying is lying ;)... In my opinion a tripod is a must, yeah, it's not the best for panning side to side like a drunk responding to the question 'were the nazi's racially accepting?' Unless you want to give your audience...

    Equipment Priorities?

    Fair enough that is something of a killer advantage. That's still only the short term picture though. Personally I'd rather invest in a system with quality glass, considering Nikon will blatantly be releasing a full HD DSLR soon. Full HD has become the iPod of the film world, if you don't have...

    I'll believe you as my area of expertise is far more still images, but I'd still like to know why.

    I second that motion.

    Equipment Priorities?

    Okay, I'm interested now, my advice was from a photographers point of view primarily not so much a film maker. Do Nikon really suck so much when it comes to video? And more importantly why?? Although you have to agree that not supplying a lens hood on anything but their most expensive lenses is...

    First things first, when you get a camera get a tripod. Now that's out of the way, it seems that everyone and their dog on this forum recommends the canon T2i, nothing wrong with that, it's a good camera, but you've got to look at it as an investment, which means you're locked into the canon...

    Ahh herro!

    Well, I just spent 20 minutes working on my profile, I guess that means I'm here to stay, so I should probably introduce myself. Hi, I'm Sam I'm 20 and I live in England (Though I plan to emigrate at some point). I am a Photographer who specialises in music photography and advertising, but...

    watch Socks! A short comedy.

    ^^^^This! Depending on the weight of your camera I'd recommend investing in a cheap Manfrotto tripod. As even one of the cheaper Manfrotto tripods will be better than the standard no-name own brand photography shop tripods.

    MUMBLECORE!!!

    @ Cliche: http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=mumblecore @ Everyone else: I have never come across a Dogme'95 film that I would class as 'good'. As for Mumblecore, I've barely come across any of it, I like the idea and from what I've heard there are some very good Mumblecore films around, but in England...

    The Expendibles -- Badly Filmed

    Predators rocks because it is to the Predator franchise what Aliens is to Alien. And that suits me just fine, 'cause Aliens is fighting it out with Saving Private Ryan and Serenity for my number one film of all time.

    noise reduction help

    You are of course right, but it's a looong time (at least two months;) ) since I was in a recording studio or working in any meaningful way and my mind has atrophied somewhat.
