    Best Magical Gloves

    As far as I remember, they used a red suit in the first Predator movie. They put a monkey in it, to show the Predator jump from tree to tree in "stealth mode". It did not work, because the monkey always kept on taking off the suit. But in general, you should use something in the range of red...

    How do you think for scripts?

    On my home desk, I've got a pile of loose short notes, that I made at work :yes: If there is a specific problem with a script, the solution to it often comes in my mind when I am in the bathroom. I guess that's because I am not thinking about it then (like the others said already). But finding...

    Humans

    Some scenes remind me of the original swedish series. Not really interested in a remake, but maybe I will give it a try someday.

    Guerrilla - if Aronofsky can do it...

    As I am ill and staying at home today, I'd like to share my experiences with guerilla shooting. We did a lot of those shoots, for example: Two guys with "guns" running out of a car towards an apartment building. It was filmed out of that building, so the camera was not easily visible. We shot...

    The People vs. 3D

    Sure, because most people tend to not give them back and it would be too complicated to give the money back to the ones, who do return them. The cinema here lets you decide to bring your own or buy the glasses, which you can keep then. Fair deal, I think. I have seen Cars 2 and Prometheus in...

    Transcend SDHC Cards

    I used three 16 GB class 6 Sandisk cards on my Panasonic SD707 and never had problems. Now I also have a 32 GB class 10 from Transcend, which works fine, too. But as it is not long in use yet, we'll see how good it really is...

    M.o.Mo. Club: Day Night Day Night

    You mean everyone picks one of the three selections and writes about it or do you want to keep the voting system? Anyway, I am still in, no matter how the "rules" change.

    What acting skills or qualities do YOU look for?

    I did not work so much with theatre actors, but noticed that too. We made two films with an actor, who was in a local theatre group (not professional, just for fun). Both movies were parodies, therfore his overacting was not such a big problem. The first role was a drunk (later hung over) guy...

    M.o.Mo. Club: 13 Assasins

    Seems that I can not participate this time, as I did not find those films in my sources :no: Too bad, because these are again three very different and interesting selections.

    Cineform is free now

    I just tried it out, but it the program itself does not serve my purpose. My aim was to convert the orignial files of my Panasonic SD707. But I wasn't even able to import it, because cineform only accepts .mp4, .jpg and .mov. Changing the file ending by hand in windows made it appear in the...

    Cineform is free now

    What the...?! Are we talking about the codec, that makes even 50/60p HD files editable with average hardware? That's just great! Does the "Studio" version have any serious restrictions? I did not found anything about technical or licence restrictions.

    M.o.Mo. Club: 13 Assasins

    Totally agree, the sound was really awesome. You felt every hit, blade, explosion and even the crackling fire. I must admit to have the same problem that Cracker Funk had. The characters are too similar to each other and the uniform costumes don't make it easier. Not knowing any of Takashi...

    What's the best you can get for $2000?

    Okay, now it is totally clear, thanks! I did not know this issue, but it is really an argument to choose the older NTG-1 and a bunch of battery packs for the recorder. Regarding price, I think they hope you buy the "cheaper" kit, which might bring them a higher profit. I won't make my decision...

    What's the best you can get for $2000?

    I checked www.bhphotovideo.com and noticed there is no big price difference between the AT897 and the AT875. In a German online shop (www.thomann.de) the difference is about 160 Euros :weird: Sorry for the confusion. Not such a big difference though. Interesting option using the NTG-1 with...

    What's the best you can get for $2000?

    I am going to save Alcoves post as a shopping list, because that is around my budget, too. :yes: If you had to choose between the AT875 and the NTG-2 (connected to the DR-100), what would you prefer and why? I had the NTG-2 on my list, but as the AT875 seems to be in the same price range, it...

    M.o.Mo. Club: "Ink"

    Finally I managed to sit down and watch "Ink". In fact I watched it till 1:13 and it's still running while I am writing. Hope I am not too late with my critic. Well, summing up I have to admit that I have no idea what this film is about. Some notes (chronological): - the building in the...

    M.o.Mo. Club: "Ink"

    These are very different suggestions and I am excited which one will win. I will try to watch "Ink" this week to throw in my thoughts about it...

    Thanks, rayw! Using a proxy it works ;-) Maybe I manage to see it before the next discussion begins.
