you can get a simple timer, triggered/synched by the video output of the camera. you can find for very cheap a video pulse extractor (the chip LM1881N cost 3$ per five piece) You are interested by the Vsync that is the start of each picture once you got the pulse you can trigger anything...

the best rig is the one that get gravity center rear and low. It does not matter where you put the camera if you got enough counterweight to make the handle going up. this way you do not have to lift something but rather to hold the handles leave the weight of your arm do the rest. if you can...

just say what coutry origin the role should be, i do not think there are so many blond guy in north africa. "Islamic" would already be too much, because it would imply "racist" thinking, Islam is a religion, not a race. If you are in USA , you should also specify "white", because there is a lot...

based on this, you could try transparencies for laserjet printer and try some funny textures from corel or google http://www.google.com/search?q=bw+textures&hl=en&tbo=u&tbm=isch&source=univ&sa=X&ei=L47DUJf2FuaF4gTYqIGwBw&ved=0CEIQsAQ&biw=1280&bih=619

in video you need to choose green unless you got a specific camera shooting uncompressed video (4:4:4). in current codecs, the video is 4:2:2 or 4:2:0 . That means the RGB channel (same applies for YUV) is splitted in Luminance and chrominance signal. Then Luma is compressed at unity (the 4) and...

use green acrylic colorant usually used for mixing with white paint. Simply use it pure, with a small foam roller on big grey carton sheet . set the screen as far as you can in the background, so you avoid shadows. light it with a fluo tube (a daylight type, around 4500K, that will enhance...

Reading an article on a web page, i found the interesting information that SAG is the union for film actors. and AFTRA is the union for videotaped actors. Since film is dying with KODAK and all goes digital (video), there is something to be done by SAG to stay, since already many producer turned...

and here the 17-50 on my camera

you can see here how it looks after the mod. i had to put some nail lacquer (red and white) to identify where the belt loops, because you want to avoid the FF gear going there.(the tooth spacing is not so accurate at this place). since the focus ring is turning free when on auto, you just need...

"It expands the dynamic range" Nope, there is no way to increase dynamic range, the bottom and the top of the range cannot be modified. What you can do is a better use of that range, knowing where you need more and can give up a bit elsewhere. Technicolor is using a s-range, that means they took...

this way the H1 is on the good side (for me), and i can see the display easily. I can still use the free hole under the body to add another item (like a battery or or quick release plate.) Since it is a T2i, the total weight stay very light.

i just spend half an hour to build the bracket (aluminium plate). the target was to fix on the DSLR (T2i) without blocking anything that could be used for another purpose (like accessory shoe or bottom thread.) So i used the little metalic stuff that point out of the body for strap and at the...
