Anyone know if the Cineroid EVF can be powered from an Anton Bauer D-Tap outlet? I read in the manual that it can take 6-17V, would that be a problem since an AB Dionic can run up to 18v fully charged? I understand that at the moment it can run on Sony NPF batteries but the manual also says...

Hi all, I was wondering if it's possible to offload footage from a P2 card via the HVX200 firewire to a laptop if I've shot footage in the native 720/25PN mode. I've checked the forum and found relevant answers dating back to 2007. Seems not, has new firmware made this possible now? Thanks...

This is a short documentary I shot back in 2004 on S16mm with a friend. It's a portrait of an old lady living in the old town of nicosia, Cyprus. It did well in a few festivals which helped me fund another documentary that's in post at the moment. It's youtube so quality aint that great. LINK

Just trying to lose weight off my adapter setup so bought some screw-in ND's and polarizers for an upcoming outdoor shoot, primarily handheld. For wide angle lenses i got a step-up from 52 to 55mm and filters to go with that. cheapish though (hama) because where I live photography shops have...

Has anybody lit airplane interiors? Shooting on sunday a scene that takes place in the passenger area and the cockpit. I would imagine multiple sources of light to give a wash of diffused light through the windows and working off that as key light. Maybe bounce or kinos for fill. Will also see...

After a couple of failed attempts to get a 25min interview translated from Yemba to English would anybody have a solution to get this done properly? Need a transcript in Yemba with english characters and the equivalent translation in English for a recent documentary piece. Most of the work has...
