October and still waiting for this from B&H Photo. Maybe I just dreamed the AJA T-Tap with thunderbolt port.

Thanks so much. Great resources.

I made this movie over several years, hiring Atlanta theater actors and crew when they were available to work at indie rates. It's micro budget but everybody got paid, except for me of course, so I'm...

Yes, everybody is too stingy with thunderbolt ports. Thanks nsolz for the inside on that issue.

A lot was made of this device at recent show so I held off buying the Matrox option to get it. Was anxiously awaiting the little box from BH photo to output SDI and HDMI via Thunderbolt. Ordered it a...

About the fair market in this instance:
For those of us in the graphics biz, we would be forced to buy into the model since adobe is a monopoly. It's not like we have viable options to Photoshop,...

How is this done? If you have 3 people watching and commenting over a lowered movie soundtrack, do they all wear headphones, or do you let the lowered movie audio bleed through their mics? The net...

Will a projector show this same image I'm seeing on my home flat screen 720p tv, or does it project in something other than ntsc colorspace? Will I get a better image playing an H.264 version...

I have to agree with the OP about Ronin. It is also a favorite sequence of mine; Euro cars downshifting and turning high rpms thru twisting streets. It's a different type of driving than muscle car...

It is sad. I feel like I grew up with the guy.

The Elephant Man, going to bed for the last time, prepping his bed to sleep on his back like a normal person. Barber's Adagio for Strings plays. I thought I would have to wheel my wife out of the...

A tip that has helped me with non-actors: Keep the camera rolling between some of the takes. Maybe they are even listening to your direction for the next take. You will luck into some usable reaction...

I like the payback at the end of Michael Clayton, where Tilda Swinton's character drops to her knees in the background as Clooney walks to camera.

>>There will only be one take.
Haw!

Yes, just looking for the moment of impact, a few frames. Maybe I can fake it with coverage such as 1. he reacts to impact, 2. a different angle as he swings...

I need an inexpensive and safe way to show a gun shot to the forehead. I have a good make up person who can make a great wound. I read that in one of the Godfather movies, they rigged a latex patch...

Do a quick search of archives as this is a very common question and there are tons of answers over the last few years. Your best bet is the Panasonic $350 card reader. You say you can't afford a...

Maybe check switch for that channel that switches between Mic/Line?

Thanks for posting , it has some interesting stuff. The interviewer is a doofus and it shows on Roger's face and in some awkward replies to foggy questions. But he's a gentleman and played along.

snort! best laugh of the day

I had to make the same decision. Others may differ, but for my indie feature I've been mixing it just as you described and the slow mo 720pn looks very good to me, droped into the FCP 1080pa...

Groan......yea you're right

I'm about 2/3 done with a 90 minute indie. I've been building different movie segments/shoots as individual projects, spread across several drives. So I have like "The camping trip" as a project,...

Raging bull came to mind for me also when I was considering this. Recording at 96k is indeed good advice. I think I should run some tests in advance of that shoot in 2 weeks.

Ah, very good to know. Thanks.
