    Nice work Daniel. I thought I recognized Victoria in there. Are you working over there? Or are you onto the mainland too? I liked the music video a lot. Girl with the strings. Who was the artists?

    Style vs Budget

    Style vs Budget In the low budget world everyone is usually looking for the cheap solution to very specific tools. How can I replicate a stedicam with nothing, make a cheap crane shot, build my own car mount etc? One of the things that’s often overlooked is the way you shoot a project and...

    Feature shoot in 10 days?

    I like to think of this dilemma as the difference between a short story in a magazine and a novel. What does it take to tell the story you need to tell? Never sell yourself short but don't overshoot the mark either. The other thing you need to do is if you are directing this then think...

    HD Camera Decisions...

    For that kind of coin why not take a leap and look at the Canon 5D Mark II. 21.1 mp chip. That's 2k HD at 30fps. 12 minutes full HD on a 4gb card. Sure there are handicam features that you're going to lack but I would suggest you'll make up for them with a bit of ingenuity. There are also...

    watch Robson Arms Trailer

    Hey Zen I do remember you commenting on it. It was here for a day before getting yanked (rightly so) hehe Poke ;) . Glad you guys like it. Plastic, as far as getting it on in the US it may be some time before the American market looks seriously at anything Canadian. I think it must be our...

    watch my first fight scene

    Good work garmon. I'm with Zen there re: the cutting. Of course that also requires a bit more coverage but good on you for doing it. Don't be afraid to get in really close for fight work. Even in the wider format feel you've gone for, ECU's are still a good idea. I would also suggest you...

    As of today, this is only a front page. The links with the important info are busted. Perhaps the website is new. Or, it's a clever advertising ruse. :)

    Noob here.

    I want to start by saying that I don’t take offence to anything anyone is saying here. I suppose that my motives for attaching myself to TV could be confused as something I've chosen for the sake of getting paid (profit is, as stated a different term in this example) But my motivation is, and...

    Film scheduling software

    I haven't had cause to use scheduling software for some time now (long time since AD-ing) but one of the shortcomings I see with "MM Scheduling" is the limitations with designing reports. In Sunfrog, are the report options open to manipulation. Can one design the way the page looks easier than...

    Mini35 Type Adapter Discussion

    Yeah Zen, that was Margot. She was great. What a riot, to work with someone that had seen it all from the seventies on up. Great stories too.

    Mini35 Type Adapter Discussion

    I know you guys have beat this thread to death and honestly I did't read all of it but I did get through some. Also I realize you're talking about something a bit different but I just wanted to share my experience with the concept. Last spring I shot a series on the Panasonic DX900 DVCPRO with...
