Shot on Canon T2I

I just purchased a shoulder rig setup for my canon 7D from indisystem.com After reading reviews and making many calls, I found out that the customer support is non-existent and they take months to ship out. Ridiculous in my opinion. The problem is that I ordered these for a shoot coming up and...

I'm shooting a instructional video for a Infrared Light and I need a camera that can shoot true IR. I had a old consumer sony camcorder that shoots in IR. It was the Sony DCR-TRV27 handycam. Even that would have worked for us but it doesn't shoot in HD. We've considered getting a 5D mark II...

Hey people, I've had a good experience with finding scripts on this site so I would like to see if I can find anymore scripts to make into a film. Here's the last film I made from a writer from here as well. http://vimeo.com/9847542 First of all, as of now, all the films I make are entirely...

Hey, I was wondering how some of you guys like to light a room to make it look like it's the middle of the night? Do you use blue gels, change the cameras white balance, or do it in post? Any tips or tricks you like using? I'm about to shoot my first night scene next week and any help would...

For anybody with a canon T2i, I have some questions When you're filming, can you have full manual control? On my GH1, as soon as you start recording, any external monitors will shut off and the camera stops all output signals. Can the T2i record and preview video out at the same time?? And...

Hey, so I've had the GH1 for a while now and before, I would always output live video onto a monitor just so not everybody is looking off the tiny camera screen. I would connect it though the A/V out digital and use the cable provided by lumix. Obviously, when I would start recording, it would...

LINK TO LIGHTS I'm looking for a light to shoot a short film with. There'll be indoor and outdoor lighting and I think it's nice how you can change out the bulbs in these to change the color temperatures. Since I'm not planning on making any money back from this film, I can't throw down more...

I know lighting is important so this is just a temporary solution until i can afford a better light kit. My budget is around 200$ or 300$ at the very most with everything included. Currently I'm using a Tungsten worklight I picked up from Home Depot which is actually keeping me decently...

How do you file a project as a SAG ULB film? I understand you need to fill out paperwork. Where Can I get those papers? Thanks!

I am a aspiring film maker and I have everything needed to make simple films but one of the things that tend to hold me back is the locations. I am sick of only filming in public streets and my tiny apartment. I recently just moved to Los Angeles so I don't really know anybody except for my...

Coffee Shop, Library, empty room with desk, beach, etc.

Hey, I'm a aspiring film maker, and just moved to Hollywood to pursue the dream. I would like to make more films but since I'm not much of a writer, it takes me 4-6 months to write a script that I actually end up making. I'm never even that happy with the scripts I write but I figure, if I...

I'm shooting a 15 minute short film on my GH1 and I have at least a few hours of footage. I'm working on my macbook pro and I'm running all my footage though Magic Bullet. I have about half a terabyte of space left but I would like to be more space efficient since I back up all the footage in...
