Thanks Alcove, you've pretty much answered my main concern about the cheap vs. more expensive mics. We are going to test test test. What I think I'm going to do is mount it under the brim of a cap like you said, into it's own recorder (so two lavs/recorders on me, one for me one for subject)...

Oh crap. Well is there a way to tell just from specifications online which might be better than others for my purpose? I'll research more on signal to noise ratios. Thanks! Ideally, more voice less ambient sounds, that way we can add the other sounds in post. The shots will be one long shot...

Thanks for the reply Alcove! Sorry about that, budget is low as low as possible, around $50 (don't shake your head yet!), my reasoning is that the more expensive Lav mics get, the better than cancel out surrounding noise, but we want the opposite, we want more noise, so I figure that what we...

Hi guys, We're going to be doing a project where we need to record audio on a second person candidly but as clearly as possible. Think similar situations to those prank videos you see on youtube. (It's nothing dodgy or illegal, we will have release forms for them to sign straight away, we just...

Actually I might be able to do it with Magic bullet looks Are you referring to the pic in the OP? Did you watch the video I posted as well? Thats a screenshot from the downloaded file from Vimeo which is more washed out as it doesn't have the flash player "conversion" done to it yet, the...

Thanks for the replies guys. We had some of our short films screened at a cinema last week. I graded on my computer monitor and crossed my fingers. It turned out much better than I hoped it would, still not exactly how I wanted it. Lots of people commented on how good it looked though which was...

Thanks for the replies guys! He gets asked a lot and he is adamant that it's only curves. I believe him. I've tried piecing together bits and pieces of info about his grade and export/workflow over comments in his videos and pics from his site and flickr etc, as not only is it probably the...

Hi guys, Wondering if anyone knows how the highlights/mids were achieved in the screenshots below. How the sunlight isn't harsh and seems to be muted and looks filmic. When I say highlights I mean everything the sunlight is touching, not the brightest parts of the image (like blowouts on the...

Hi guys, I've done a fair bit of googling for a decent computer monitor for basic colour grading for web videos. All I seem to find is people getting irritated by the question and saying only a no compromises and no shortcuts approach will do. I understand this reasoning completely, only thing...

Thanks for the replies guys. I own many step-up rings and initially thought of a step-down ring but the lenses don't have filter threads so I asked a rental house if they had anything and he suggested a cokin p series "slide on and screw/clamp in" type one that will still allow photography...

So I'm shooting a short film on Zeiss super speed S16 mark 1 and 2 lenses using my black magic pocket cinema camera NEXT WEEK (eek!) and I would like to use my "photography filters": A 77mm vari ND fader and a 77mm circular polarizing filter. The lenses have standard 80mm fronts on them, no...

Are these the ones you're referring to: "The set does not, however, include the 127-minute, ten-part Video Blog series, which is exclusive to the March 2013 2D and 3D releases of the film's theatrical cut." http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/The-Hobbit-An-Unexpected-Journey-Blu-ray/57035/#Review...

Thanks, I've seen the Black Swan and the shining ones. I don't remember a lot of director/actor interaction from them. I'll have to re-watch. Social network I haven't seen yet. I will check it out.

That's been something I've been meaning to do for ages, along with watching all the extended editions as well. Is there much showing Jackson's interactions with the Actors?

Hi indietalkers, Does anyone know of any good videos or special features on Blu-ray and/or DVD that show the Director interacting with the actors, either on set or in rehearsal? I've seen a couple here and there, but they are only snipets from special features (the Winter's Bone Making Of...

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh you did Ever, I didn't even look at your Avatar. I remember seeing a trailer for that somewhere and thought it looked really goood so I liked the facebook page and hoped I would be able to see it one day. Good work! Any idea how/when it will be released? I'd love to watch it...

Where can we see it?

Thanks Steve. You know what? I haven't even tried firewire, into a firewire PCI card or a usb > firewire cable, NOR have I tried installing the drivers for the camera. I had just read online that the Firewire PCI card wouldn't work, the USB > Firewire cable wouldn't work and the guy that gave...

Yes! You can absolutely make stuff by yourself. There are plenty of one man bands making shorts and things, some of them suck but it's better to make bad stuff on your own than nothing at all, at least you'll learn. I've made a short film with just myself and another person to hold the boom in...

Hi guys! Recently got my hands on a Mini DV tape camera, JVC GRDV500: I like the look of SD DV video, like the Dogma films, 28 days later, and many other films found footage films etc. What's the best/fastest/easiest way to get the footage onto my PC so I can edit? I tried recording video...
