Hi, I'm going to be shooting a short in a well-lit library on a Sony HD-EX1 in a couple of weeks (and the camera is not available for tests). My lighting ratio will probably average about 8:1. The things I'm looking for are 1) softening up the video harshness (just a bit), getting the smooth film-like black falloff, and keeping the saturation of the rich library colors intact - In that order. I should also mention that there are a lot of functional practicals in the shot and am worried that they might burn out on video. Would a seperate filter help that? Thanks, Matt

So has anybody heard back from AFI yet? It seems like calls went out around this time last year. Matt

Uh-oh. That's not good news (at least for me). Rick, do you know if all (or most of) the calls have gone out? And a question for Jayson: How sure are you that people who received a financial packet make it to the interview stage? Thanks for the info and congrats to those who got the call, Matt
