Benjamin_Lussier Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 (edited) I'm about to shoot some screen tests for a short... for the lighting And we can't afford a professional monitor... Could a portable DVD player with a video input do? Am I doing a huge mistake ? :unsure: Thank You Cheerios Ben Edited April 19, 2005 by Benny_the_kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as colour, I suggest getting a dvd (i bleieve most FOX has them) and running the THX calibration in the special features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted April 19, 2005 Premium Member Share Posted April 19, 2005 In a world of old CRT TV's lying around, I'm surprised you can't drag something bigger to the shoot than the 7" LCD screen of your portable DVD player. If no other monitor is possible, at least go back and WATCH the tests on a regular TV screen. For the shooting of the project itself, not just the tests, the small screen of the DVD player may be sufficient if being portable is your highest priority. Most small video productions would have a 9" CRT monitor, so you're not too far off from that. But if you're going to be in any space where you can set-up a regular TV set, you may want to do so.
