Yes he made Nightmare Before Christmas, but his greatest film yet is Edward Scissorhands!

Thanks!

I think I have got it under control now. I'm shooting again this weekend.

This is a PAL-camera i guess since I'm from Sweden.

Do you think I can find a star-chart on the internet?

Is it good to run it at "save-mode" I like it since I know that the second it start it'll start recording.

What is the "point source" of light trick?

Thank you for the reply!

We did the shoot this weekend in and around a camping trailer. Two long days with loads of work to do. I must admit that I am quiote new to the assistant camera job, so I was nervous. Everything went fine and the DP seemed satisfied.

We ended up using Canon HJ21 zoom.

The only problem I had (a very serious problem though) was setting the back focus. The DP wanted to change it a few times because of very close shots.

Do you know an easy and effective way to make sure the back focus is correct?

I'm going to work as an assitant camera/focus puller for three shorts using this camera. The DP doesn't know anything about video and I haven't worked with an IMX-camera before. But I do have som experience with other similiar cameras.

So I have a couple of questions:

Is there a specified ASA-value for this camera?

What shutterspeed shoud I choose. 1/50?

Is the standard lens o.k when pulling focus?

Any other tips/suggestions or quirks for this camera?

Thankful for any help!
