I apologize now for the short story below, it's all there as a backstory to my problem. There are some cliffs at the end of the post. A couple of weeks ago I had entered a 48 hour film fest with a team I've been working with for a couple of years now. This year we added two new members because...

So I'm entering a 48-Hour film fest this weekend and it's fallen again on me to do the editing. While I love editing film, it's the audio aspect that I need a lot of work at. So I've learned somewhat from my mistakes and last year recorded my audio in stereo as opposed to mono. My question...

After having shot two silent films I've moved on from the Jean du Jardin school of film making and finally shot something with a 'proper' script. I say it like that because it was for a 48 hour film competition and we pulled the story out of our ass at the 25th hour. Our genre we picked out of a...

because I feel like I'm navigating a maze every time I open it up.

So I'm looking to ditch the mini-hdmi adapter I use on my camera and go with a dedicated hdmi to hdmi-mini cable. Has anyone had any experience with these cables that they've used to output to a monitor? I'm looking for a 25ft cable but I was wondering if the length of the cable makes any...

Hey, I was just wondering if any of you guys managed to find a way to split the hdmi out signal on the gh2. I want to be able to hook up my small field monitor to the camera while also having the feed sent to my PC monitor. I've looked around and haven't been able to find a mini-hdmi splitter...

I'm looking to hold auditions for a short film but I've never done anything like this before so I'm a bit clueless. Would someone be able to recommend me a good place to hold auditions in the Toronto area that's worked out nicely for them from experience?

So last weekend I shot my first short film with the GH2 for a 24 hour film festival. I'm pretty pleased with how the over all product turned out but with the lack of time there are a few things I'm not too happy with. Some shots are a bit out of focus when 2 hdmi cables for my external monitor...

I'm looking at this over the Tascam dr100 but there's one thing I haven't been able to definitively find out. Like the Tascam, are you able to output from the Marantz recorder directly into the camera so I don't have to sync in post? I see the only real out on the recorder are an RCA out. If...

I'm trying to figure out the best way to record my audio with the GH2. Right now I've got a Rode VideoMic but with no headphone jack on the GH2 I can't monitor my audio during the shoot which is important to me. I've been reading up on getting something like a Tascam external recorder and...

I'd imagine it being as easy as just setting the preset and the camera remembering but that doesn't seem to be the case. I just got the camera and I'm playing around with it but already one thing that's irking my is the MF assist that I can't seem to turn off in anything other than the custom...

So like the title says, I'm in the market for a new camera and I wouldn't mind some input from some guys who know alot. The two main things I'm looking for out of a new camera are that it's somewhat futureproofed and won't be obsolete within a few months and that it has interchangeable lenses...

I'm looking for someone who's good with photoshop to make me a poster for my short film. I'll provide the screen shots/pics and as long as it's within what I have in my head, you can have free reign to do whatever you want. I don't think it be too much work and am willing to pay $40.

Hey guys, other than some colour correction I've finished my short art film. Let me know what you guys think! Obviously for best quality watch it in HD. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihm8qNp4gMY

A while back a relative came to me asking for some help with a short film for a film elective she was taking in college. She came to me with the general idea and while we both put in some good time from that point on I was pretty heavily involved with the pre-production. The original agreement...
