Filmshooting

i just came home from the cinema. i went to see "the soul of a man" by win wenders (for those who don't know about it is the first -at least here in france- of a series of documentaries about blues and r&b produced by scorsese). i loved it (it couldn' be otherwise i LOVE blues and i am...

I think you're confusing bits (ones & zeros) with pixels. There's really no correlation sure there is. an 8 bit 4:2:0 format image has 12 bits per pixel, and a 10 bit 4:4:4 format 30. a 720x576 pixel image thus holds between 4 and 12 million bits. Yes but, clearly, that is not even remotely the...

ok i get the point about HD shootinh for HD display and film for screening. i will have to see to belive though!

Of course. What do you think I was referring to? yes, the moment i submited my message i realised that coming from you it HAD to be a test in the same conditions, sorry. it is still hard to beleive to me. not that i wouldn't trust you, but i have never seen HD footage that can match super16, especi...

digital origination can't even match super 16. that's reality. but Super 16mm, which is still very good, doesn't hold a candle to origination directly to HD, as far as the shows I've seen. Of course, this may all be subjective but anyone that hasn't sat in front of a 60 inch HD set and seen a true ...

But could a grain of film represent a one or zero effectively? you will certainly need more than just one bit to represent a grain of film. one grain is bigger than the smallest distinguishable surface element of film (i wouldn't kwnow how to define this smallest part). on a digital support, a pixe...

Alex wrote:How about another forum on Shooting 8mm that benefits "legitimate" Super-8 repair facilities and the Shooting 8mm forum. Members or newbies can post information on Super-8 parts that they have and don't need or need and don't have.

btw: that was a great idea, alex.

do you know why the Franciscos are called Pacos and the Antonios are called Pancho? :-k Any Spanish here? actualy both paco and pancho are phonetic shorts for francisco. i think it went from francisco to franco (not meaning that bastard that carried it both as first and family name, sorry about the...

I've often wondered how the world would have survived througout history WITHOUT ANY RELIGION. It's really perplexing to try and visualize what might have happened. Would society, not believing in an afterlife, completely gone nihilistic and base every single moment of their life on pleasuring thems...

there is a story behind my user name; not a private one, but one common to all the spanish pepes. pepe is a short for josé. the origin of this peculiar shortenning is the bible. in the first spanish version, each time that joseph, the virgin's husband (josé in spanish) was mentioned, the trans...

And virtually eliminate DV from the theatrical low-budget feature-filmmaking postition it was never remotely suitable or deserving of except for very specific artistic intentions. . i wouldn't trust a filmmaker who choses DV for artistic intentions. the only intention you show by theatrically relea...

hi, for my first time i have shot super8 for a professional feature. i work for an audiovisual services ngo here in paris. we've shot a documentary on a parisian neighbourhood called belleville. it is permanently presented on mainstream and pro-government news as a "problematic" area of th...

i've just been looking at it again... the lower front button is for holding the handgrip/battery holder when it is folded for using in continuous shooting mode, allowing also to change the battery with the hood on. see: http://perso.wanadoo.fr/theramjam/rainhood/nizohood5.jpg the only thing that is ...
