I guess u just answered my own question.

I went and got a remote from a one ccd canon cam, and it worked!

I?m so relived cause the prices on one for the Xl1 are insane!

!

I wanna know if i can use another remote for the xl1. Like an universal remote. I don?t need to zoom or anything, just need to start and stop recording.

Does any body know if a one ccd canon camera remote will actually work?

Thanks

I?m going to shoot a sunrise with mi xl1 camera. I was wondering I I could shoot it at LP rec mode since I?m going to make it go faster in post. Do I loose any image quality doing this? Or is it best to stick with the SP mode anyway?

Thanx

Does my zoom shots get afected whene i use filters on my XL1?

Somebody told me this today.

Dont Know if its true...

Can i zoom in and out freely?

Are you sure you loose resolution???

were can i find info about that?

Whats an ultracon?

But the XL 1 has the option to do 16:9 on the camera. But with no black bars, it actually squeezes the image to achieve the 16:9 in post, were the image is stretched. Isn?t this right?

can i use on camera filters using a wide angle adapter???

What kina of filters do you guys carry in your kits to optimize video footage?

Ciao

So I?m going to shoot a short film in an XL1 and want to shoot 16:9.

But the thing is.. I wanna know the basics. What to have in mind.

And to be more specific, I wanna know how I can actually make the 16:9 format shrink so it can fit in a normal tv, but with the black bars.

Thanx

Well when you capture your footage straight from your dv tape to your computer, chances are you're working with DV compression (which I think is 4:2:0 compression). By copying the footage over to D9 tapes you can use an AJA box and XRaid (in our case) and capture 8-bit uncompressed (which is 4:2:2). You get a lot more color information which cleans up a picture and reduces noise.

Please tell me more about this... i still dont get it! where could i find more info about this..

thanx

ciao

Yeah!

That would be a great idea...

We could have one like that... and... with comments from people that have gotten their film processed in each lab. To see if they really are reliable or not.

Ciao

Im in the us, were ican i get my ektachrome film processed.

thanks

No more ideas???

Please help me...

Where can i find the info anyway...

Don't get discouraged, mate.  I just meant that it might be tougher to get soft backgrounds.  Perhaps you can try to shoot towards foliage or something like that.  You can always control your foreground using nets, silks, muslins, etc..but the background is upto G-d.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

whats G-d?

Whats up with dv cam???

why that face?

Can anyone tell me how does ?The shield? the TV series achieve that awesome look?

Can anybody tell me about the technical info about it?

I am about to shoot a short film with a DV CAM.

It all happens during a morning, just a couple of hours in the morning, the beginning of the morning to be exact. It has parallel stories (5 to be exact).We are going to shoot during 6 days. The light during these six days may change. What can I do to maintain a good light continuity during these six days of shooting.

I have thought of shooting with a butterfly over the characters heads almost at all times.

What else could be a good idea?

Thanks

I have a Nizo Pro super 8 camera, but the asa wont got higher than 160 asa, that?s what I read in the manual. I also have an external light meter. A Sekonic 508 dual cine light meter. The thing is that I also read that the Nizo has a lot of coats in its lens, so it would probably need more light that my external light meter would read.

Any suggestions?

How do you guys handle that?

Sebastian

How do you guys measure you exposure when using 200 and 500 asa on your super 8 cams?

Share your experiences and techniques

Sebastián
