NOTE: Please email me instead of PMing me. THEJACKSONMILLER@GMAIL.COM Hello, I have a Cool Lights CL-455 PMD from http://www.coollights.biz/ Not sure if they still are known, but they used to be very popular on here 4-5 years ago. This is a Diva style light that hold 4 55watt bulbs. It...

Hey everyone! Haven't posted on here for a while since I went off to film school and put all my time into making movies. I graduated last year and thought I'd share my thesis film with you. With Over 160 VFX shots, 9 locations, and a large cast it was quite an undertaking. We did quite well...

"The S/N ratio is as follows. S/N ratio (A-weighted): LINE: more than 95dB (INPUT GAIN -10dBV) MIC: more than 55dB (INPUT GAIN Max / 150 ohm loaded)" So I'm trying to understand how this compares with the tascam dr680 etc or what you would get from a mixpre line out into a dr-100 mkii. Any...

Hi, so I finally finished at community college and even though LMU and Chapman both only accept about 5-15 trasnfers a year I made it into both as a production major :) My dilemma is I have absolutely no idea which to choose. If you go to one or have friends that went to either could you help...

Hi, so I am trying to figure out the smartest audio investments for the situation I am in. Currently, I don't need more than 2 tracks but within a year I very well may. So I have a few options. 1) Get the edirol/roland r-44. From what I understand this can be used without a mixer easily...

Hi. I have some cfl soft box fixtures that I use quite a bit. I mainly see the kino flo bank style lights on professional sets though. I am going to buy some more fluorescent lights and I am wondering how the two styles differ from each other. What are the pros and cons of each? Are the...

Hi, I have only a few days to decide which to buy. I'm unhappy with the low levels I get from my h4n combined with my various mics I use. I'm also unhappy with/tired of the syncing process even with plural eyes. I have been researching/listening to samples and it seems a preamp device feeding...

So to make someone look albino, I guess I would just find someone who is blonde and as close to albino as possible, is that what you would do? How could I apply makeup in a believable way after that and what kind? What would I do with the hair? And then scars, on the face, any tips on that...

Hi, I am a longtime fan of DVX fest, first time participant. I've been planning to enter forever and finally decided I had to because of the topic. Too bad I am getting a late start :tongue: Hopefully I will pull it all together. My entry is based on a screenplay I am finishing that is...

Hi so I need a new external HD and I promised myself the next one I get will be a RAID one. I almost bought a G-tech g-raid before I realized it was RAID 0 which I guess increases video editing speed, but I wanted to get a raid drive more for reliability (though I do edit and don't want...

I was thinking this would be very helpful not just for me but for others. I want to do some DIY projects but have NO tools whatsoever other than screwriders, a hammer, a wrench, and pliers. What tools would get me farthest for $100? I am thinking mainly handhelp power tools that are cheap...

Hey guys, so I want to have some hard cases for my equipment and I'd like to find CHEAP and large hard cases that I can fill with custom cut foam. But I can't actually find many cheap hard cases. Gun cases are just as expensive etc. What's the best kind of box to use/where do I gert it? I...

So I have a fader ND mark 1 (which cost me $180 when I got it!). Anyways, I have just now been reading about how much the quality sucks on the telephoto end for the Mii and I am wondering how much the Mark i has been affecting my stuff. It definitely dulls the colors and decreases sharpness...

Hi, I was about to purchase a few of these cowboy studios folding/quick setup softbox fixtures but I wanted to see what you all thought of them first. You basically unfold the collapsable softbox and the fixture is already in there. Just screw in the bulb and you are good. Seems like a nice...

So I am considering various kinds of flourescent fixtures (not the kino flow type bulbs, the cfl and big cfl shaped ones), and was wondering if I would experience more flickering depending on the fixture/ For example, the socket fixture things I used for china balls from home depot were super...

Hi guys. So I was about to buy some dolly wheels and make a dolly but I had a concern - what if the wood warps? So anyways, I was looking at wheel assemblies on ebay and I came across this seller: http://stores.ebay.com/mollydollies They sell wheels and parts but also two premade dollies, one...

So I am working on editing a short and I feel like the biggest weakness is the audio/sound design. The entire film used the blueline akg hypercardiod mic and was filmed in a VERY small basement/cellar. I kept the mic close so the audio is relatively clean, it just doesn't sound very "full." I...
