Do you guys think these no SLRs and cameras that boast HD recording are going to destroy the prosumer camera market? Are you guys going to sell your prosumer cameras and buy these small cameras with HD recording and amazing DOF?

Great info guys. Gonzo, I really like that idea. So you still shot in color, but made your viewfinder b/w. When you desaturated in post, were you satisfied? See the problem about shooting in color and desaturating in post, is that you risk not efficiently capitalizing on the hard shadows on...

First off, hello to all my fathers who I haven't seen in a long time. I've been working on A LOT of indy projects for film school kids to build a resume, and been cramming units at college. I still haven't forgotten the veterans and I still love you guys as mentors. I've been reading, but...

haha don't congratz me, not my movie. Good stuff guys, this is so inspiring. This guy had so little resources.

Was on a shoot and our DP owned a small view finder which he could wear around his neck. Was pretty cool, and wanted to purchase one. You guys recommend any sites where I can get a descent one that isnt too expensive?

Thanks for the correction, yea. I googled it cause I forgot, and it gave me one in new york.. http://www.columbia.edu/ wrong one ofcourse :)

I guess the question is, what are your ultimate goals? Make a list, plan it out, organize. You can do anything. The sky is the limit. Now that you have a television show in seattle under your belt, maybe try getting an agent and fly down to LA for a weekend. See if you can find work as a...

Columbia University in New York right? Great university, great rep, and I hear their film department is pretty good. My biggest advice I can give you is, don't worry so much about the "education" your going to get in film school, but more of the "contacts". Thus, I reccommend applying to USC and...

Just out of curiosity, have you guys ever rented your gear out? If so, How did you make sure they didn't destroy it? (Did you get insurance forms? How?) How much did you charge? Appreciate it.

Evs, how much is your budget? I have an XH-A1

Thanks for the info guys. To my understanding, when white balancing, you first turn on the key light, turn off all other lights, white balance, then turn on the other lights? correct? This is what some guy was telling me on 3 point lighting. So if I have practicals in the room, I should turn...

I understand, however, which gel produces this effect? The tungsten one? and what do you mean by using an incandescent as a practical? thank you in advance.

Awesome knightly, thank you! What gels do you use for the night time room shots, like no country for old men? And the router connects to my lights correct? allowing me to control how much light to output? thanks!

When you see nighttime scenes in rooms, they light it in such that the light is a yellowish tint, giving you the feeling that the light is naturally coming off lamps. For example: My lights are like white light, (daylight), so how do I get light to look like indoor lighting and not the sun...?

I have the NTG-2. good mic. make sure u get a good dead cat though.

ooh! ok! gotcha, thanks!
