    Ever get clients asking for stills as well as video?

    It's not uncommon for some clients to ask for additional services after booking. This can create an inconvenience particularly when asking for those services during the shoot. To overcome this problem I have a statement on my invoice in Red color that states "Additional services requested will...

    CAMCORDERS: UX-180 External Output Problems

    My camera setting was set to 1080/29.97p and output was set to the 1080p. I tried all 1080/29.97 options and nothing worked. I did check the manual and it only mentions 59.94 for both HDMI and SDI outputs, I honestly never expected the more expensive model with the SDI option to be more limited...

    CAMCORDERS: UX-180 External Output Problems

    I recently added a used UX-180 to use with a UX-90 with a blackmagic HD switcher and could not get a feed at 1080/30p through either the SDI or HDMI. A Blackmagic mini convertor did not solve the problem either. After connecting the camera to an Atomos monitor I saw that it's outputting 59.94p...

    Sennheiser EW-D vs Shure SLXD24

    I am looking to build a four handheld wireless mic system for panel discussions. Have you used either of the EW-D or the SLXD24D/B58, both models seem to have good reviews. Can you comment on pros and cons? I was leaning towards Shure as I like the option of being able to charge mics in a...

    Manufacturers and Customer Support in Decline

    When we invest so much money into a brand, one expects easy access to support and timely response. I have been needing support with An Atomos unit and can not find a number to call. I did fill out a ticket on their website but the response time is very slow especially when you have to go back...

    Wireless Intercom System Recommendations

    I am looking for a budget friendly full-duplex system and debating between the Eartec and Hollyland. Have you had experience with either, which brand is better?

    Green Screen Product Video

    For the most part f8 is going to do the job and the AF on the Canon should be up to the task with the slider shots! I did shoot a product video a year ago or so and used lots of light with silk diffusers. That shoot was against a white backdrop but this one is with a green screen to be able to...

    Green Screen Product Video

    Thanks for the video link. The main reason to shooting green screen is to have options with background color in post. I was thinking about using a full frame camera like the Canon R5C. This is a small budget video so I need to keep it simple, no after effects!

    Green Screen Product Video

    Actually there will be no talent, just a small product. I have shot green screen before but primary with a fixed stationed comp. This will require some movement, tracking/dolling. Since the objective is to use a solid background color of choice in post I should not have to worry about tracking...

    Green Screen Product Video

    I have some experience with green screen but not so much with tracking. If I shoot a product video against a green screen on a turn table and capture slow rotating shots, dolling/tracking shots, do I need to be concerned with anything if my objective is simply to change the green to a solid...

    Is Canon getting ready to release new cinema camera/s? Big C200 Price reduction

    Many dealers are discounting the C200 by $2k at $3500 and the C200B by $1.5k at $2500. Such a steal if you do not need 10bit. This seems to indicate something is about to be announced this quarter. Would you buy a C200?

    Wobble Effect on the Panasonic FZ2500

    I was using the Panasonic FZ2500 on a tripod on an outdoor shoot and the video was wobbly. I was shooting an interview with the subject seated, stabilization was turned off, used the manual focus mode and would touch the screen to focus on the subject's face. Tried switching to AFC for focus and...

    Seeking recommendations for a wireless mic system with 4 mics

    What about two units of the Sennheiser XWS 1 Dual 825 or 835, my usage is usually within 100 feet. Should I be concerned that the antenna's are internal?

    Seeking recommendations for a wireless mic system with 4 mics

    Sometime the cable option is just not feasible but do agree that would be the best solution.

    Seeking recommendations for a wireless mic system with 4 mics

    I ran into this problem with the G3's mic adaptors, some would grab the unit at the bottom and cover the transmitter, I ended up with occasional interference noise.

    Seeking recommendations for a wireless mic system with 4 mics

    In my last shoot I used 4 G3's, it was cumbersome and had to worry about batteries on both ends but did get the job done!
