Filmshooting

I held off because I'm heading to San Fran for the first time tomorrow for the weekend!

I'm really loving super8 (it all started for me less than a year ago) but already I'm being lured by 16mm. I find myself looking on ebay as much for bolex h16's as for beaulieu 4008's and Canon 1014's.. Then I started looking at film stocks and I couldn't really find a place that sold many vision s...

Clean the gate with an orange stick, that's how the pro's do it and it's one of the first lessons to use. They aren't a lot of money.

I would shoot more than I need and edit the rest out this way if you shoot only 4 seconds you're stuck with that and if you change your mind later, well, you're out of luck. Shooting more for the edit is better and general rule a lot of times. You could use either internal or an incident meter, if y...

Firewire is faster.

The cart arrived today! I'm going to shoot this weekend ,I need some time to think what I should shoot but I'm excited.

I think I'll stick to renting an SR3 or something as good or better and leave my beloved K3 MOS and spring wound, after all the camera is loud and I enjoy the ease of easy switch mags because time = money on the set. Thanks Arri.

I painstakingly stitched the audio back up to the film after I had captured both to the computer.

Do you know how to sync film clips and audio together in FCP when using a slate? It's pretty cool and simple especially when you know the short keys.

Cart 2 is on its way to BigBeaner.

Can't wait let you all know when it arrives and ready to be passed!

http://www.bonofilm.com/colorchart.pdf http://www.bonofilm.com/camera%20report1.pdf Just shoot a few frames of the chart, they can pause it to it. On the report make a mark and "correct to chart" you can do some crazy stuff by using that chart, put in different light temperatures get all s...

I would just save myself the hassle and put in the filter, if you're not going to correct on set do yourself the favor and atleast shoot a color chart for reference. Don't rely on technology because it might not give you the actual look you want. Unfortunately, I may need to rely on filtering in the...

Lighting isn't just about turning on lamps you got to remember about how you're exposing the film/video image drastically has an effect. Don't ever be afraid of dropping full scenes, I had to and that scene was a huge chunk of my movie and cost well over $300 for me. My movie is so much better witho...

The character he plays IS very passive, until he is pushed to a point where he finally reacts. That is the whole third act, and also something that is alluded to at the end of the trailer/preview. I know i actually skipped ahead and saw that part, with him and the gun. But maybe concentrate more on...

I can honestly say that if we remade this movie from scratch, we would do it completely different based off of what we have learned from this project I know people say this a lot probably to you - as I've been told this a million times myself and I know its crap but try not to think about this and ...
