You are not the first to say this. I am having massive problems with gettin my videos to work on everyones computer. The plug-in won't work on most computers for some reason and I cannot figure out why. One thing that may work for you, go to the right click save link I made and save it. It saves as a HTML document for some reson, try just changing the file type to .mp4 instead of what it is and that will direct it to your .mp4 player vs. just Internet Explorer. Sorry about that!

I am so jealous! I want go to a lab for my own film. For now I am stuck on GL2's and an XL1 on High School Films (or do I need to say videos?). I wish I had the budget to let me shoot film but there is no chance I will be able to even try anytime soon.

THANKS! You have been giving sig (one of my classmates) advice on the focus pull so I decided to do it because it was what was "hot". I just set the camera on the ground and put the bottle in the way. I moved the focus to manual and swapped it's focus. We do have a VERY attractive school. I did focus more on the popular people (they tend to be better looking people) but still, it is attractive overall too.

I posted this in another forum but I figure I will get more feedback if I post it here too... I don't think I will be changing this video much as I have now fallen in love with it but I would like to know what you do like an don't like for the future. It is located at: http://www.finalcutproduction.com/gspn.html The quality is just ok but at least you get an idea as to how it looks. I shot it all on a GL2 and edited on my powerbook in Final Cut 4. Thanks.

I hate to post her sig seeing as how I see you everyday and I could just tell you my thoughts but I had a point I wanted to mention that might help others to understand what I think you want. I noticed while watching Lord of the Rings this effect, the colors are all to perfect, they are like paintings... like every single frame had work done to it in Photoshop. I have the extended-extended full-length 4 disks set of both the first movie and second. I did not realize how the performed this effect until I sat through 8 hours of behind the scenes stuff. They use a program (I assume similar to shake or shake itself) to actually do what I just mentioned, go through every frame with color correction, it is stunning. They take an image that looks like we shot it and turn it into what you see. This is just done with color correction alone. The process is called Digital Grading. The affect sig wants out of his "lighting or white balance" does not sound like it can be solved by this but in reality... this works. If you know a technique that performs a Digital Grading look I think sig would like to know about it. That is not the only thing though that he asking about. I cannot answer his questions because I only know so much... we are both pushing to figure this stuff out, looking at a lot of pro work and comparing it to ours. I guess we (and by we I mean mostly me) are just confused as to why Cold Mountain had the same setup as we do and they produced that. I cannot speak for sig here but I know Digital Grading would greatly improve his shots in a fashion he wants. I can host those files for you sig... after all, you did link to my server once for that iPod video (then proceeded to rip on it and say your copy of it was better) but it's ok, I'm a nice guy.

Yeah, I would like one! Thanks!
