This is for all owners of the original Core Duo MacBooks made between May and November 2006. This isn't a huge issue at the moment, but we have seen a number of those machines come in with hard drive failures. Most of the machines still had their 1-year limited warranty. The particular batch...

Hi everyone, Has anyone here tried out that workflow with exporting selected shots or complete sequences straight into Shake out of FCP? I had a Python script to achieve something similar with Avid and Shake on Windows a while ago, and the current Send To option in FCP does pretty much the...

Hi there, Sorry I had to 'bring work home' by posting here, but it seems like the film board is almost abandoned. Was wondering if anyone can recommend an affordable telecine or scanning (Sniper DV8?) service for 16mm and maybe even 8mm, preferably in Canada (ideally, in Vancouver BC)? I'll...

Hi there, Just wanted to know what places you guys prefer for transferring regular 8mm to video. Most places do both super and regular 8mm so super 8 shooters - chime in as well. I'm not sure I will have enough money for a full-blown telecine, but I am considering everything at this point...

I have purchased an Mbox 2 last saturday. Here is my rather lengthy review :). http://dmitro.blogspot.com/2006/07/mbox-2-and-pro-tools-le-tale.html I hope others can read something. Or at least reconsider!

Hi, everyone. I've been learning more about music composition and sound for film, and decided that the best way to practice is on a real project. I have been composing on and off for over 5 years now, including a few scores and soundtracks for student projects during the past few years. I...

Hi all. I just thought I'd start a topic on simulating the look of Technicolor (2- and 3-strip) as it's quite a interesting look. Not that I think I'd use it for a film but knowing you can is great :). I'm going to play with Shake tonight in hopes to squeeze the look out. There is an article...

Hi guys I have a question. Suppose I was to export a complete sequence from Avid for later colour correction in an external package (Shake in my case). Is there a robust way to do it? For me robust would mean having each shot in the sequence exported as a seperate QT Reference file which I...

Hi everyone. I was about to put "student film" in the title but I thought I'd scare too many people away. CAGED: WMV (34mb). QuickTime (35mb) Anyway, this is a short film I helped my friend with who is finishing her last year at the school I graduated from last year. Basically, the whole...

Hi everyone. I'm helping out a friend with a film of hers. To make it more challenging, I decided to colour correct each shot in Shake seperately, soften it up and add film grain. The footage was captured to a 30i NTSC project in Avid Xpress Pro, then using the reference files deinterlaced in...

Hello, fellow message boardians. I was at Vancouver Film school today speaking to an advisor about their Sound Design program. The last thing I want to find out is whether anyone has taken the program, and if so, if you could share a few words about what you liked/didn't like about it. Their...

Hello. I have heard about Nuendo for a while now after using Cubase for the past 5-6 years for composing music. However, after reading more about Nuendo's features, I'm quite intrigued by what it can do. My question is that - how does Pro Tools compare to Nuendo in terms of features, speed...

Hello, everyone. I've been doing film related work, mostly in the post-production area, for a while now, and I just would like to ask for some advice from you guys. Where should I start looking for work? I have been doing research for a few days now, and I'm almost as lost as I was in the...

Hello, everyone! I've been here occasionally for quite a while now, mostly since I started to look at film making more seriously in terms of personal interest and gear I'm using. I've always been curious about all sorts of video equipment, but lately I had another thought about it all. I've...

Hi everyone! I decided to wait for a while before posting my own films here. I don't own a DVX100A yet, but the people here seem to be quite nice and responsive when it comes to others' films, so I thought I'd post some of mine too. Death is Fair [ H.264 (31mb)] - the last film I completed a...

Hi, guys! I've been using Avid for half a year now, and was quite pleased with it, especially with its organization and preciseness of the editing process. Of course, the main drawback for me seemed to be the fact that Avid always re-encodes the imported material with its codec, which means...

Hi everyone! I'm composing music as a hobby, and now it looks like I'm going to need some more professional equipment, but because I also do film, I decided I need something that I can use for both. The most universal and mobile way to go is, as it seems, either a firewire or a USB audio...
