Dropped: A short film i wrote and directed earlier this year. Dropped the story of Robby a student who drops out of College, and meets a girl he jokingly tells he is a professor. When Sara takes the joke to be serious, how far will Robby take it to impress her? Shot with the Canon 60D and T2i...

I am screening a film tonight for a class, and i have it in 3 forms. A 500 mb .mov, a 230 mb .mp4, and the mp4 uploaded to vimeo. These arent beefy machines at the school, just dell mini towers. Connection speed is very fast. Am i better off trying to play the .mp4 file off my flash drive...

Any good places to find royalty free music? Is it ok to use tiny bits of regular songs (not top chart kinda stuff), if you dont use any lyrical parts etc...? Also if its a non-profit short?

Finished Petless a quick short I did that started out as a test of the LCW fader ND filter and I decided to make it into a narrative short. Its brief at under 3 minutes so give it a look and tell me what you think. http://vimeo.com/17477756 Shot on the 7D with fader ND filter and 17-50mm 2.8...

Just another sort of note, your style reminded me somewhat of the french film La Haine, check it out if youve never seen it.

Ive noticed this on 2 different computers, that cinema5d is hosting some sort of malware now? What could it be? Until they fix this issue, im thinking of just staying away.... Anyone?

http://www.vimeo.com/11583738 Saw this really cool older guy jamming out at the Farmers Market, so I decided to shoot an impromptu music video, cause a guy this gnarly should have one. He played a lot of pretty good songs, but this is the one i caught in its entirety on camera. Sadly, I...

I was at a lighting workshop yesterday, and after playing with a few 150's 300's, 650s and a 1k, i noticed that the barn doors for most of those just come off in once piece, seems like a simple bracket could be made to mount them on some rails. Has anyone tried this?

I just ordered a nikon F mount to EOS adapter for the 7D, does this mean i can use AIS lenses to? Im so confused.

Well, i was approached today about making a commercial for a small business. I made one for my work and it turned out well, and someone heard about it and wants to know if im interested. They want to use the same actor/spokesperson i used for that add. I think im open to it as long as i can...

Ok, well I did months and months of research before buying my first video DSLR about 8 months ago. (D90), and have since upgraded to the 7D. I know many of you here are very meticulous about your research before buying, using the cameras first, renting, etc... etc... So which would you say is...

Well, lots of speculation out today. Just wanted a poll of 7D owners. If the T2i, comes out and video is essentially equal, will you sell your 7D and pocket the difference? I just got my 7D used like 2 weeks ago (after selling my d90 and all my nikon gear). I love it so far, but an extra...

I cant believe im actually asking this, but in sitting at a production last night for my latest project, one of the possible directors (who is doing post work for a few actual features he just shot), told me I need to get final draft, and asked if i had mac or PC. (I am functioning as writer...

I have noticed on my new (used) 7D the focus light never comes on. Is this normal? I know on all my nikon cameras it comes on every time the camera attempts to auto-focus. Maybe canons auto-focus system is different? Just want to make sure that i didnt get a camera that had something wrong...

http://www.vimeo.com/8065204 This is my final project for my Digital Video/Film class. It was shot with a Nikon D90 and 28mm 2.8 and 50mm 1.8 nikon lenses. Sound was recorded with a Zoom H4n. In some scenes (mostly inside, we used a shotgun type mic mounted on a pole connected to the Zooms...
