Sometimes. For example, in this shot I exposed using a Spot Meter iPhone app (Cine Meter): What I usually do is set my desired ISO given the general brightness of the scene (this one was 400). Then I position lighting to where I like it and then the Spot Meter will tell me what to set the f...

I really just want a minor slow motion, but assuming I can't shoot above 30p (ie, BMPCC), what is the best optical flow route to get a 48p -> 24p look using 30p? I can't test it, because I don't have a BMPCC and my current camera doesn't have true frames the way the 30p in BMPCC would (in raw)...

Title kinda says it all. I tried making an account there a day or two ago, and then tried logging in here and using the link to BMC... Any which way I cut it, I can't see pictures / start threads / reply on BMCuser. This kinda sucks because I am curious about the BMPCC...

On DxO, Epic Dragon was rated as 14.8 EV. The GH4 is rated at 12.8 Evs. I read somewhere that 1 EV = 1 ƒ Stop. I don't really believe this yet, because literally everything I'm reading is reporting Dragon as being beyond 14.8 ƒ Stops. Plus, 12.8 ƒ stops is more than the BMC cameras are...

Hey all, I have a decent GH2 kit going with lenses, H4N, etc... But DVXUser only allows 5 items per sale thread. Ideally, I'd like to sell my GH2 (with Pelican case / lenses) all as one massive bundle. I want to do this because I want to rebuild my gear again. Now that I know (waaaay) more...

My brain hurts. This idea sounded so asinine that I wanted to laugh but couldn't. Please, can someone more intelligent than me tell me if this actually works at all: Take in a 1080p image and "properly" upress it to 4k to have the pixels enlarged so your program that you're keying with can be...

Hey all, I'm not entirely sure where to ask this... Here's the situation: I'm probably shooting a short film next semester in the DC area. I want a jib shot of a character climbing a hill or a cliff with a view of the city below them. To my knowledge, there isn't really a spot available in...

He seems to have cheap rig options, but does anyone know if they're actually any good? http://myworld.ebay.com/filmcity23/ Thank you.

I have a shoot coming up April 28th-May1st on an Arri SR3. However, I really want some underwater shots in a pool. The camera options at the moment: -iPhone 4S with a Lifeproof case -Maybe a GoPro -Hacked GH2 Also, the project is being done in 25p. I've never used a 25p hack on the GH2 before...

I have a few Canon FD's and the 20mm pancake / 14-140 zoom. At first I was eyeballing the Scarlet or some other camera all together, but honestly... Nothing seems more attractive than the GH2 I already have! So, I figure it's time to invest in lenses! Pros for PL: -Possibly better quality...

I made a post recently that I'm about to shoot my first short film on a GH13. My girlfriend surprised me tonight with a GH2 too! So, I'm going to be spending more time than I thought I would on DVXuser trying to get caught up to speed. I got the 24H cinema mode thing going (they have more movie...

I'm finally going to be filming my first short (~20 minutes length) late August. I'm about to send the script in for copyright, I've finalized most of my locations, and have most of the crew lined up. However, I still feel very unprepared. I think I'll be shooting it with the 100 max latitude...

Hey, sorry for this post... I have no clue how to word this without it being too random for a search to work. I have footage with different frame rates and resolutions. Some 1280x720 60p, some 1280x720 24p slow motion, some 1920x1080 24p, etc. The final project WILL be 1280x720 24p. The lower...

I've never had a use for slowmo... Until yesterday. I get the gist of shooting SH mode with 125 shutter (and I've played with higher shutters), and I like the look at 50% (speed changed inside of FCP on the timeline). However, I hear about Twixor, MVTools, Avisynth, Virtualdub, etc... Some of...

I've never cared to look into anamorphic options before, but then I read about this "Proskar" thing. Well, heard of is a better way of wording it. There's very little information on it online it seems, so it will just be quicker to ask. What is Proskar EXACTLY? Is it worth the money for a GH1...

With FCP 7, AVCHD files are auto converted to ProRes 422 upon log and transfer, right? And ProRes 422 means the color sampling is 422? I heard that the af100 (for example) records 420 color sampling. So how exactly is it converted to 422 (assuming my second question is answered "yes")? I've...

Long story short: My girlfriend wants a DSLR that shoots video. However, she requires that it be pink... She is willing to go for the GF2, but says it's not that pretty of a pink. If I can find a way to paint a GH2 pink (and maybe put some stars on it) she'll buy one... Which is good since I...

Used this thread: http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?233651-Fast-action-GOP-2-54-mBS-settings-for-GH1 Shot off and on and had 45 minutes of footage to play with. Not a single camera error and footage even played back inside my camera. It looks a lot worse on YouTube, but I may have...

I've been playing around with the Gh13 for awhile on my own, but I think it's time to ask some questions... What is everyone's export settings? (I use FCP and the guidelines here: http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?154352-How-to-encode-720P-HD-files-for-Youtube.&highlight=Export%20YouTube...
