  1. Same here but that has been with DV and DVCProHD. I have had great results. Perhaps the lighting differs when using other formats or film.
  2. A tagger with a spray paint can is very broad. Similar to a person with a camera in his hands who is capturing motion. There are many many "taggers" out there who paint large, detailed and ornate murals. While what they are doing is illegal most of the time, it does not stop these specific works from being art, and the artist behind them from being painters, in my opinon.
  3. You've spent a lot of time on this thread proving your feelings to be the opposite.
  4. Spielberg won't, but other excellent directors have chosen to shoot HD, as well as other cinematographers therefore he is not the definitive answer. The point/counter-point will never end. For what it's worth, I'll chime in on the side of the discussion that the title has more to do with the creative role of the person behind the camera and not the format. You may call me whatever you want, I've been called worse before. :D
  5. Wow, I wish we could have arrangements made according to those guidelines around here. ESPECIALLY the day rates.
  6. I have a couple questions about your question.... The title of your thread says bluescreen, why have you chosen blue over green? Or is that just a misnomer? Secondly, my experience with greenscreen work is rather limited and I primarily have been on the post side of things when working with it BUT, why do you feel it necessary to shoot such a wide angle shot? Most of what you are shooting will be empty green spaces that will first be cropped with a matte before pulling the key. The stock lens on the HVX is completely capable of getting a full shot of the subject, why do you need the extra space in the shot? The composition of the subject can be put together by the compositor.
  7. The problem is that with every DP there is a different preference. The 4400 is using the HVX on the show now where the F900's won't work http://www.chrisoben.com/discoveringthehvx200_dcs_web.pdf
  8. For what it's worth Barry is no longer residing in Las Vegas. I believed he has moved on to the east coast. North Carolina maybe?
  9. From what I remember reading, that was by design and not your imagination.
  10. I have had the same issue happen with my own footage and the DVX 100a. I agree with George as this was the solution that ended up working for me.
  11. I did not read any reviews of the movie at all before going to see it. I figured hey, I get to see $100+ million go off before my eyes for $6.50, may as well see what happens. It was utterly disappointing. I would say that a rating of D+ is about fair, if not even a little generous. One of the biggest let downs in a long time for me. I would say that you are right on with it being hammered for all VFX and no substance. That was exactly the problem with it.
  12. Yet another post filled with rhetoric and cleverly hidden insults that do not address any real issue. I did not say that I own a gun, so I'm right and you are wrong, but you stated your opinion and claimed that it made you smarter than me. If your ego needs it Peter, by all means ask me and I'll proclaim to all the members of this internet message board that you are smarter than me. I'm not a pro violence, pro war, pro gun, nut case. I'm an advocate of having my personal choice to own a gun, and I'm a staunch advocate of you being allowed your opinion as well Peter. I will point one thing out to you...If "reducing the need for criminal livelyhoods" means that you think we can rid the world of poverty and therefore the resultant crime, I appluad you. If you believe that this is truly possible, you are truly an admirable person with a good heart. I will however point out to you that it is hardly a rational belief for the earth is over populated and the resources are underdistributed. Poverty, scarcity and therefore the resultant crime will always exist as a matter of scientific numbers that cannot be denied. Regardless of your standpoint of my personal choice and current right to own firearms, I find you to be a dreamer who denies the truth of reality in favor of amicable irrationalities. Shall we stop with the senseless insults of one another at this point and respect each other's opinion? Once again, contact me if this goes somewhere worth rejoining.
  13. While trying to participate in an educated discussion with reasonable information, you continue to pick out individual sentences and exaggerate them as though I'm Charleton Heston's personal propagandist. In a thread littered with unbased personal opinions with no facts supporting them, just hearsay evidence, I have presented factual statistics that largely back my opinion. An opinion that simply put, states that crime as a whole is the problem and not guns. Guns are an enabler to the crime but with or without them, the U.S. will continue to lead the world in occurances of crime. Firearms bans will only be dodging the real issues that lie beneath. My best analogy is this: It's like saying "Drunk drivers use cars to commit crimes and kill people, we need to ban driving." There is my argument. With the current tone of the thread, I'll add nothing further. If the intelligence of this discussion rises above that of an 8th social studies class please contact me via email and I'll be happy to rejoin the conversation.
  14. Generally people find me amiable and easy going, never once have I been told they feel the need to walk on eggshells. I'm simply participating in a discussion and I didn't find your remark "over inflamatory" I found it inflamatory in an unneccary way. You obviously haven't read my previous post, otherwise you wouldn't be making unfounded, exaggerated statements such as "compared to the rest of the planet". If the planet only involves Canada then that is one thing. In actuality though, there are a lot more places besides Canada, and many of them have much looser regulations on gun control then the U.S., many of them with much lower gun related crime rates as well. I wasn't joking. I'd like to believe my jokes are funnier than that, come on man give me a little credit :) . Much of the anti-gun lobby in the U.S. consists of irrational, or illogical thinkers who believe that blanket legislation will solve the problem and keep them from having to apply a real effort to social equality and peace. These are the same people who would have us just pull anchor and head out off Iraq right now without paying any mind to what that would leave the citizens of that country to deal with, it's a bad situation but blanket, black and white solutions won't make the situation better. Much of the same is to be said about issues with firearms. I have not once said that there isn't a problem with violence in America. I, happen to live in a situation where, I am not comfortable with the idea of not being allowed to own a firearm, particularly for the defense of my home and loved ones. I live in an area where home invasion/murders are common gang activity. My home was the target of one of these attempted attacks. My girlfriend, a very anti-gun woman at the time, was home alone. The police would have had no chance to help her had the perpetrators been able to make their way into the house. Luckily, we have a good neighbor who was willing to step in in my absence. My girlfriend's attitude quickly changed about choices in personal defense and regular firearms training was embraced. If gun control becomes guns banned, what would her options be then? Raped and killed because she doesn't stand a chance in a knife fight with two large felons? Oh, and for the sake of Peter DeCrescenzo, these weren't "Brown" people. Crime comes in all shapes sizes and colors.
  15. I'll avoid the invitiation to get into a U.S. vs. Canada debate with you over your inflammatory "Gee thanks." statement and keep this to the topic. With the exception of this one remark...if crime is a problem in your country address the criminals with your spite, not your neighbors with unnecessary blame. Doesn't the fact that the guns are smuggled into Canada from somewhere else, go to show that gun control cannot solve the problem? Criminals will go to whatever extent necessary to commit crimes. Crime is, generally speaking, an unrational action, committed by an unreasonable person. I have quite clearly shown in my previous post that crime and gun related crimes are not a result of access to guns, so the issue must run deeper.
