Got a few answers from people I know. Consensus seems to be that it may reduce the life of the bulb if it's running too hot, without adequate heat dissipation, but otherwise shouldn't be a risk.

Hey guys, I've got some softboxes that I'm not sure about the maximum wattage it can take. I want to buy some 135 watt fluro bulbs for it, but I've only ever used 30 watt fluros (CFL) in it. Worth giving the 135s a shot? Or is that a fire risk? Cheers, Brad

Hey guys, Check out this cafe advert I did the VFX for! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAgLfi-WI4M Anyone else here use Element 3D? It's not a bad plugin... Cheers, Brad

Hey all! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgKpbw44FXg This is a film I shot at Mt. Pirongia, New Zealand with binaural sound - make sure you wear headphones to get the full effect! Thanks for watching! Brad

Awesome thanks, I'll keep you in mind!

Cheers man, yes Memento was a strong influence and the 5DMkII is awesome to work with :)

Hey guys! Let me know what you think of my latest film: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owroX_VyG9s It's a non-linear comedy :) Hopefully you guys get kiwi humour! Cheers, Brad Check out our facebook page too! http://www.facebook.com/artisticarts

Hey guys! I’m shooting a wedding next week and desperately need a mic that will do the job for it. I know that quite a few people use wireless lapels, but I need a more affordable option (hopefully less than 400) at this point in time… As I will be shooting with HV30s, it would preferably go...

Hey guys! I’ve just made a trailer for a 3D film my friends have been working on - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uGq9NZpRm0 As always, constructive criticism welcome! Cheers, Brad

Cheers! Yeah, 180 degree rule helps with continuity - that's the idea behind it, you usually try to use it in conversations, so its not disorientating. But break the rule by all means if you have a reason to! Ha, Flight of the Conchords is great ;)

Those tracking shots were on a dolly - you can make one with PVC pipe as the tracks and a dolly with skateboard wheels set at 45 degrees to the track, like this: http://www.jorenclark.com/whitepapers/dolly.html Wouldn't be able to do that on the steadicam :)

Awesome, yeah we used mostly natural lighting, but for most indoor scenes, we used a few softboxes, with 5400K 30W bulbs :) Simple setups, sometimes just used one light to backlight/sidelight some things...honestly don't know much about lighting though! In terms of camerawork - do you have a...

Thanks heaps everyone for your comments! :) Interesting point about the synthesized speech, that's crazy.. And yes, the actors were quite young and the story could have been tightened up - we worked right through the night to get the story done, and were quite worried about it, to the point we...

Hey everyone! This is a film we made, which won Runner up and Best Cinematography for our region for the New Zealand V48hour film competition. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCK0IXOulWU Enjoy, criticism welcome! Thanks, Brad

Thanks everyone! Awesome, yeah I've never actually done a tour myself! Unfortunately no :( but I live about 40 minutes away! :D

Haha, yeah just thought it'd make the post a little more interesting!

Greetings from New Zealand! Looking forward to having a look around these forums... :)

Hey everyone, Just thought I'd post a video I'd made to get some feedback on it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZ473vmAIbk I've had comments that the bulk of the story should have visuals matching more to what the voice over is describing (eg. if you mute the audio, the visuals wouldn't tell...
