Remember, only the HV20 does 24p. So if that's one of the selling points, your decision is made up already.

Thanks for the link!

Thanks Xavier. I contacted them about a subscription. I checked out the DGA's website before but I couldn't find anything. Maybe I just missed it, obviously!

I know for a fact that this info has be out before. I've read it as there was already a thread about it being 2k a month or two ago. Here is the original patent filing that was out and about. http://tarr.uspto.gov/servlet/tarr?regser=...;entry=77182970

I think it was posted on Red's forums a couple of months ago.

To put in an HD-DVD drive would have meant delaying the 360 for 6 months minimum and there was no chance in hell that was going to happen. HD-DVD was not read at the time the 360 launched.

My vote goes to Elswit.

Is this poster 14 years old?

The whole movie was 35mm, save some video.

God I wish they would come down in price.

I remember reading that the cameras that came out first will be upgraded, if necessary, to meet the features of the later cameras. So, how is this any different? Rather than updating the camera, they're getting a new one.

How, in any way, shape or form, is a company replacing a product, free of charge and paying for shipping both ways, a NEGATIVE?

That's pretty damn funny. I haven't had the opportunity to see Beowulf in 3D but the average movie goers that I talk to, rant and rave about it. Sure it's CGI and I guess the real test will be with Avatar.

I don't think there will all digital for a long time but if the 3D all these directors seem to be gung-ho about, it might happen sooner than later?

Collateral I believe was 75% digital and 25% film and possibly more % towards digital. I forgot the exact numbers. Mann said there were very few scenes that were done on film.

There were parts of Miami Vice that I didn't like either. But then there were spectacular shots such as the daytime "Cuba" shots. Those looked unbelievably gorgeous. The night scenes were nothing compared to Collateral's. They were way too grainy.

Interesting that yu brought up depth. When I was watching some of the "in-cab" shots, and Foxx and Cruise were both in the shot and LA was the back drop I thought "wow, this shot looks as if it's got an infinite amount of depth and it goes on forever." Even though, the a great deal of the city was in focus, it still gave off an incredible amount of depth because of how everything was staged and blocked and I'm guessing the width of the lens. P.S. I believe the only shots that were on film were in the club Fever and possible on the train/subway as they green screened a bunch of scenes in that setting.

I watched Collateral recently and listened to Mann's commentary. He kept touching on how digital cams, specifically the F900, allowed him to do things that film wouldn't such as getting the background to be visible in shots so the viewer can see the whole city in all its glory at night (not the magic hour(s)). He said this wasn't possible with film because it would be impossible to get the city bright enough so that it appeared on film. How true is that?

I'm picking up the Brevis35 system next week and I have a couple of questions for the lens experts. I have a choice of lens mounts but am indecisive on what I should be looking for. I can choose from Pentax K, Nikon AI, Canon FD or EF/EOS, Minolta MD and the Oct19 and PL. I'm looking to get a few lenses and don't want to break the bank. So I'm looking for an even ground on cost and quality along with a wide range of choices. Any help would be much appreciated.

Is there an equivalent to American Cinematographer in the directing world? I've searched but can't seem to find one. Any help would be much appreciated.

Any chance you can post the original?

That photo, and what you did with it, is ABSOLUTELY stunning!

Thanks, Michael.

My forum layout recently changed. Every reply is now in a branch arrangement rather than being all open in the same thread. How do I get it back to the other, MUCH easier to navigate, way? I haven't changed any of my settings. P.S. Didn't know where to stick this as there isn't a tech forum.
