I'm having some shopping issues, and wanted to come here for help, with people I trust. I need a decent lav for interviews. I don't need the best lav, because that's what I hire sound specialists and go to the rental shops for. The purpose of this is to deal with gigs that either I'm not...

I'd like to know how realistic it is to get some CGI shots done in a short period of time using already rigged fully textured models licensed for use in the film. That's the main deciding factor between the couple of concepts I can't seem to decide between right now. I can PM details if you can...

Is anyone else in the bay area looking to participate in this? I plan to take on a project, though I haven't decided what yet. It would be nice to have some names of potential crew members if anyone's out there.

No longer for sale.

Does anyone have suggestions on where I could rent an HDCAM tapedeck somewhere in the bay area? We're putting on a pretty big film festival, but a lot of our entries came on tapes. Finding a player has proven difficult. We'll need it for a week, the 14th-21st. I'd be willing to try charming a...

Edit: Okay, I got what I need. But thanks for looking.

I've been shooting wedding photos for a long time now, and I have a good idea of how to do it, but video is still somewhat new (at least for weddings). So, what should I be shooting? What are the rest of you doing? How long do these things end up, and with what sort of format? I have a feeling...

So my CPU is probably dead, one week after the warranty expired. I'd like to have it tested to make sure that's the problem, but every computer place around here seems to have gone out of business... anyway, in figuring out which processor to buy, I'm torn between the i5 and i7 for socket 1156...

I intend to order at least (probably just) one light for my basic kit. As much as I love renting for larger jobs, there are a lot of smaller jobs where it's not really worth the hassle. Especially when I have to travel a decent amount to find a rental place. For the project I'm working on right...

The title says it all. If anyone is in the SF bay areaing looking for help, especially the northern part, I'd like to know.

Null and void.

I'll be moving to Petaluma (near Santa Rosa) soon, and it would be nice to downsize my equipment and up my savings now that I'll be near cities. So, does anyone know of decent rental places with good deals on shotgun microphones near this area? I rarely use mine anymore, so I wouldn't mind...

So I just put in the files from a presentation shot this morning, including GH1 footage converted through NeoScene and 7D footage straight from the camera. Regardless of source, the videos look great- until I pause. At that point the image is obscured by black and white lines, almost like window...

So I've given up on finding anyone around here you own mics I can use for weddings, and I don't have the budget to buy. Can anyone suggest a place that will ship rental items like this to me, if such a place exists? Specific model suggestions would help, too, since I know very little about...

I'm selling my FD adapter for the GH1 along with a 28mm f2.8m, 50mm f1.8 and a 100-300mm f5.6. I think $135 shipped is reasonable. Let me know if you'd also like to buy a GH1 with the kit lens. I haven't decided yet, but my empty bank account tells me I'm probably selling that, too.

Selling my still camera, as the title suggests. It's been treated well and works great. Comes with a battery grip, extra batteries, CF card. The used camera retails around $350, the battery grip for a bit over $100, so I think $415 is reasonable. That includes shipping in the US.

Promo piece, just over a minute. Shot so we'd have something out there. I met my actors that evening and took them out to the woods. There was only very basic planning, nothing blocked before, and I didn't have a boom op until the last bit. All natural light. Shot on a GH1 with the kit lens on...

I know GH1 vs 7D threads are worthless, but this isn't really one. I only have one specific thing I'm looking for: which camera, if there is one, is less likely to screw up highly detailed scenes out in a forest? Forests are the easiest things to find here, so those are going to be most of my...

So I have something in my head I can't identify. An episode of some anthology series, part of a movie, a short film... I don't know. It takes place in a world dealing with overpopulation. There is a government program in which people can have their nearest relatives paid if they kill themselves...

I've never used looping software to make music files before, but I need to start. So, what do people recommend? I run Windows, and from what I can tell it's hard to find one that can use real music notation. Having been a musician for a long time it would be a huge help to have that feature, I'd...
