I am a genius! So I've wanted a hazer for some time, but haven't had the funds to drop $1000 for one. For those that don't know the difference, a fogger puts out clouds of visibles smoke and are rather cheap. A hazer on the other hand, puts out a haze of fine mist that's barely visible to the...

For our entry we need someone who can do a CG modeling of a pocket sundial and then animate the shadow on it and export only the shadow so we can overlay it on the real item. If you this is something you can do, let me know. As always, remember this is for TimeFest, so everyone is volunteer.

Has anyone ever tried upgrading from an educational version of either Final Cut Studio or an Adobe collection to the non-student version via the simple 'Upgrade' software purchase? I wondered if I was eligible for that given that my current copies are legally purchased student copies.

I need some dialogue translated, and hopefully an MP3 of what the dialogue should sound like. This is for my TimeFest entry.

I need someone who knows Latin to do some dialogue translation.

Okay, so I bought a 2.5kw LTM HMI Par off of eBay from Pyramid films and have always had working stuff from them, so I don't doubt the gear. I doubt me, who's never struck an HMI before. I followed the 'Set Lighting Technicians Book' and first installed my new bulb, then plugged in the header...

So I want to splurge on a roll of either CTS or CTO. The purposes would be for window use for interior shots, to be knocking down and correcting outdoor light. Also, to put up on a 48x48 gel frame for shining 2ks through for a really warm glow. So, I'm thinking CTS. But should I get full...

Has anyone used this? http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-American-DJ-Haze-Generator-Fog-Machine-Fogger-Hazer_W0QQitemZ200202143930QQihZ010QQcategoryZ132998QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem I am curious if it is decent for hazing indoor shots. Not fogging them, hazing them.

I've been watching fests since Dramafest, and ordered the SciFiFest DVD and watched that. I've noticed that the styles are blurring into what I'd call...the "DVXUser Look'. It's recipe includes: -35mm adaptor with tons of rack-focuses, half of which are un-motivated -'wandering-eye' camera...

Has anyone actually used a flicker box? I'm wanting to get one with a 2k capacity but there are a ton of different types, I'd love to hear from anyone who's actually used them and how good they are.

Has anyone tried striking a 2.5kw Magnetic HMI from the EU3000is Honda genny? According to the Honda specs that genny can do 25a max or 23a rated, and according to the LTM website (I recently purchased a used LTM 2.5kw Par) the light will draw 26amps at 120v. But this makes no sense! How the...

What practical difference is there between a CMC 5 + mk41 vs a CMC 6 + mk41 setup? Anyone who knows, I'd be much appreciative!

Over on the Red boards, I almost have it figured out how to slave the Red camera to a Smart slate and then do the same to the audio recorder (alternately, have a TC out capable recorder, such as a SD 702T or 744T, and slave Red to that) but once I'm in post, with my audio and video files, how do...

Anyone got any recommendation for DVDs that show good BTS that actually show you how the movie was made (i.e. shots of the crew at work, lighting setups, shots of gear used, etc.) and not just a series of self-gratifying interview rants by the cast and crew that's overcut with rapid blurring...

Dang it! I bought a Mole 407 off eBay and it turns out to have a P28s base instead of a G22 which I was expecting (and already have bulbs for). Anyone know where I would find a G22 base with proper height and how to actually take the base out of my 407? Here is a picture of my fixture

I just got a complete Mole 2k setup, barn doors, 4 scrims, and bulb for only $184 shipped!! He's selling another right now and says he has a bunch more...

I own a kit of 4 Arrilite 1000s, and often it's just way too much light. According to the Arri web site, this fixture only takes "DXW 1000w R7s" type bulbs. However, B&H lists the FCB 600w/120v lamp as "This is a lower wattage alternative to the DXW." Thoughts?

I have found a magic device: The Sound Devices MM-1. Get it! I bought it to solve one problem, but then found a totally different cool use. The first problem was when you have two sound people (boom+mixer), and you should always have at least two sound people, how can the boom op have...

Okay, so I know the risks. I'll have an electrician help me with this. I also know you have to make sure you're not grabbing two of the wrong legs of electricity. That said, has anyone made a box such that two power cords are feeding it, from different 15amp plugins, then combined they output...

Hey Richard, Drewski, aka "The Man". Here's an idea for you, it's either great or crappy... I recently acquired some cheap Mole 2k's (#412). As I typically do, I first buy at least two lamps for every fixture I own. I found they use G38 Mogul bi-post socket. After a friendly eBay search I...
