This is something I've never fully gotten. Since it's a term that also applied to my 90s days in the music studio with certain equipment, it just became one of those "I know what it is sort've when I hear someone else mention it, but not really" things. Google was not my friend on this one...
I'm tired of trying to enlighten these freakin non-believers who've never taken the time to read one single tech article. So I'm asked to help out on a $40,000 music video. The label owners, who trust my opinion, ask me how they can get the most bang and production value. I say rent an HVX...
Shooting a music video, someone's gonna loan us a flatbed for an around town shot in cold asz Boston. Don't know much about stabilizing cam for this. Anyone have any advice? Assuming I need some kind of spring supports for locking down tripod. Not big budget so we can't do it like the big...
Looking for anyone who wants to get down on a mega collab. For those that don't know me I do a bunch of the street dvds out've NYC and I've touched others from Boston to LA. I was watching a video on the Jane-Finch.com site out of Toronto and I got to thinking that I'd really like to work with...
No budget, quick shoot, street dvd music video. They rushed everything so of course quality sux as far as I'm concerned. BUT I'm diggin the song and thinking of rediting it for my own use. Does anyone else like the song besides me? The artist even told me he hated the song and re-recorded...
I see all the talk about laptop this and that and I'm wondering what sort've device exist that I'm either obviously unaware of or is coming down the pike that will SECURELY attatch the fw cables to either the laptop or the cam, especially if they're still using the 4 pin connectors? I swear...
Just threw this together a few days ago, been going nuts deciding on compression schemes and media players, all b/c we're trying to dumb down the process of viewing the trailer for cats who just got they computers like last week or so and don't know Real Player from QT from WMP...
For those who may have seen the Hype Williams visual masterpiece "BELLY" back @ 2000 I'm trying to recreate a shot from the club scene in that movie. If you remember he had the villains walking around with phosphorous glowing eyes under blacklight. How would you light day glo. The color we...
Wondering if standard wireless video tranmitter/receiver pairs will work with new Sonys into an hd monitor, or do I need something specificly for hd? Want my director to be able to see what I'm framing without having to constantly be on my back. Thanx in advance.
I just finally got what the mini35 allows one to do and boy am I excited at the possibilities. My dilemma is this, a client is willing to buy me the DVX AND the FX1/Z1 (whichever I want). But now that I understand what the mini35 is I'm thinking I should get just one of the cams and put the...
I forget dude's name, but if anyone remembers the shorty from the Northeast I believe, who had all the old timers crying in their beer over his framing and comping skills, let alone editing, please post his name or url. I remember he remade a few of those Rock Opera vids from this band in the...
