    Disassmbling Sennheiser MD 42?

    I bought (more like inherited) a Sennheiser MD 42 handheld mic that has seen better days. It's a little worse for wear but other than the paint wearing off and chipping on some places, it still works like it should. I was planning to shoot some paint on the external tube, but I'm having a hard...

    Hot AF100A body

    Coming home from a shoot yesterday, I discovered that accidentally left the camera on standby for 5 hours. I picked it up out of the bag and boy was the body hot, much like how a hot mug of coffee would feel. I decided to slap a lens on it and see if it would still run and it did without much...

    It's been a few months now and I'm really excited to share this :) I did most of the post sound work including design and mixing, hope you enjoy the trailer as much I enjoyed working on it! It's shot in Hiligaynon, a native dialect of the province of Ilo-ilo, Philippines.

    Establishing shots, passe or necessary?

    I try to be as updated as possible when it comes to films, watching new stuff as well as the classics. Conventional filmmaking suggests that an establishing shot is more often than not necessary to help the audience realize the relationships between one element with another and more...

    DCP workflow, looking for advice

    Hey! One of the local film councils requested that the final output be a DCP compliant format, however, I'm not entirely sure how to go about doing that exactly...

    No room tone, no hope!

    So... I'm cutting sound and designing a few scenes for a feature and the recordist didn't bother/insist on getting room tone. Scrubbing the clips for a clean plate yields no hope either! =b I'm hoping that when the scoring comes in the music will cover up the some of the extraneous noise...

    Should I charge for equipment rental?

    Say you're small production outfit and you own a few lighting and video equipment and you're hired on to do a corporate video of sorts. Is it normal business practice to charge your client for your own equipment that you'll be using? I'm asking because when I was still doing photography, all I...

    Nikkor 400mm f/2.8 support advice?

    I'm wondering how anyone would mount a Nikkor 400mm f/2.8 lens on an AF100A without breaking the camera. I have the movcam baseplate and I was wondering what else would I need to make it work. I'm hoping to take out in the field one day and shoot wildlife with it. Any suggestions is well...

    Hey everyone! I'm fairly new to the forum, been lurking and absorbing what I can from the wealth of knowledge here in this forum. I just got my AF100A several days ago and I've been wading through the menus. I noticed there was this menu item named "activate" and in it there's stuff like...
