    Giving actors the script, Pre Audtiion

    regardless of the part I don't audition unless I see the full script - but that's just me. There are plenty of actors who are happy to turn up for a cold read but script exerpts or sides are great to get everyone on the 'same page' and lets you really see what the actor can do with the piece.

    Casting on the spot.

    I think you owe it to every actor who is ready to audition - to see them. you may find someone better or you may confirm your initial choice or you may find a talent that you can use in another role or you may find an actor you never want to see again!- either way you win in the end. If I get...

    SHORT: Tell me what you really think

    no .. that's the name of the film. what I want to know is - should I submit it to festivals or not? I've had 1 screening at a festival but I'm not sure if it's good enough to try out for more - do I blow some money submitting it to a range of festivals or move on to the next project. Tell me...

    GH13 GH1 overheating

    I had a similar problem once last year but didn't think about the heat. Last Sat I had 2 weddings, both outside full sun around 30 deg C. two identical cameras, identical hack settings, identical cards (Sandisk extreme 32Gb) both cameras were unattended capturing a wide shot with the LCD open -...

    loading scene files on the AF102 and poor service from panasonic

    I tried loading the scene files from Barry's book but kept getting a card error. I solved the problem by formatting a card, creating and saving a scene file to the card and coping the header on to Barry's files. The thing that pissed me off is Panasonic Service - I called the company in regard...

    Serial No.

    I just insured my AF102 and quoted the serial number - the more I think about it - the odder is seems B1***0001 only got the unit a week ago, it can't be the 1st off the line - maybe they use some weird numbering system - it's bugging me.

    af100 & gh13

    Hi guys, I had a quick look around but I'm running out of time. Just got my new AF100 and I've booked a last minute shoot on Wed and wondering if I can mix these 2 cams. The GH13 will just be some coverage and closeup but I don't want to create a nightmare in post. I'm assume it's a scene file...

    I shoot weddings with 4 GH1's (hacked), I've got a couple of small commercial jobs coming up and I've got a SmallHD monitor I've love to start using again. I can either grab a GH2 or the AF100 - but which? My problem is PAL, I shoot 25p with the GH1's and I can match that with the AF100...

    Canon zoom from an XL1?

    Canon 9825A002 20x Zoom Lens - I can't seem to anything on it but I'm wondering if there's a chance of mounting one to the GH1. A custom adaptor would have to be made but is there any other reason why it's not worth a try? anyone else had a go at something like this?

    good match for the GH1

    I'm shooting weddings with the GH1 (2 of them) and I'd like to have a stationary camera up the back on a wide shot for coverage. I'm looking at camera's like the Panasonic SD700 but I've had coments that it's not a great colour match. I'm assuming that I'm best to stick to a cmos sensor to...
