Are you going to shoot it on 35 or HD?

I was rooting for Benjamin Button all the way.

I is teh n00b :P

James Bond has one of the best sequences to date. Although they come with titles but they are great.

From my experience when I was at university most students , the new generation of film makers, take drugs and just want to PARTAY!! Hence them being in the shadow when it comes to crunch time about technology and how to make films. What ever they want to do in their lives is up to them but logic dictates that you learn first, work second and party after. While others are willing to learn and want to get some where in life. There numbers are dwindling.

You also asked that question and he gave you an answer. Was it not the answer you were looking for.

:lol:

Willem Defoe is good idea. He's got the smile.

Yes I am going to record to get a signal. I hate when people point the camera at the TV and record. I am going to try the camcorder method since it will be easy to just upload it to the PC. Thanks for replying.

I know Jim has already been in a batman movie. He looks like the joker. I believe he can pull it off.

God rest his soul, Heath Ledger, did a great job as the Joker in The Dark Night. Who do you think should play as the joker. Given the character is twisted and psychotic. They need a really good actor to portray him like Heath. My choice would be Jim Carrey. Looks like him and can definitely act the part. Who would you choose.

190 views no replies :( I is teh emo :(

I really want Benjamin Button to win. The cinematography is out standing.

That's true. Even thought most of their equipments are out dated. Like most of the teachers. What I have learnt on set in one day, I have never learnt at university.

Brian is absolute spot on to a tea when he says "filmschools mostly (still) cater to the "art" with little attention to technical and practical concerns regarding careers." I have come out of university with nothing learnt in film. Everything I have known so far has been in this forum. Yet, I am still a noob but most people who come out of university see me as someone big in knowledge. That shows you that universities are way behind in film with technical aspects. VFX universities and ones focused on a particular and one subject tend to do better then those focused on films in general. If David was to go to university and teach them a few things from the industry, I guarantee you all of the class would walk out after him begging him to be their mentor. What I have learnt in this forum alone has been an unforgettable experience.

I have too many specific questions to ask, David. However, I will keep it to something I just don't get from now ;) Adrian, PM box cleared.

WOW Adrian, you have went out of your way to help me. Much appreciate it. I did not expect this. Thank you man. I am reading as much as possible. Only time and energy are against me.

This was not the first time it has happened. He has done it a number of times and Bale clearly says "you don't understand what it's like working with actors". Why is the dude walking around on set even if it is the background.

How can a cinematographer walk on the set of a scene? It must be exhausting to do the scene in a loop then someone just walks into the scene. It was just a meltdown.

What is the best way to record from SKY tv? For the U.S peeps, SKY is like Tivo. DVD / HDD recorder Camcorder I want to record and transfer some clips onto the PC to upload or edit.

It is the beginning of the year and I would like to get into Cinematography more then before. I am still learning and in baby steps. I am not a technical person and most of the jargon is baffling in here. I am confused and I do not know where to begin. After mixing up the shutter speed and frame rate, I assumed shutter speed gives a night streak effect, I want to re-evaluate my understanding of the technical side of Cinematography. I feel low and insignificant in this forum compared to the people in here. What I would like to learn are the basic/intermediate level - -What is the aspect ratio -What are the films stocks and how many are there. -Making a film look. How to go about doing it? The process of Cinematography -Different types of Camera's and their technical specifications, what do they mean -Learning to tell what something was shot on and to replicate it -Do directors like Steven Spielberg, Peter Jackson, Steven Soderberg, James Cameron, Mel -Gibson etc.. are they technically knowledgeable and have a higher understanding of Cinematography -Understanding how to make visual effects like super slow motion, night timelapse etc.. I hope I am not being over whelming and forever grateful for your guidance. Books, websites and anything to lead me on the right track. Thanks

I feel silly. I can't believe I got the FPS confused with shutter speed.

I didn't buy the camera, I rented it. I am still learning. I recorded some footage with the Sony PD170 and it gave me nice slow motion. It was ok. What I am confused about is I thought if you ramp up the shutter speed you can record more frames per second. When I slowed down the shutter speed I got a nice streak line from cars at night.

I used the Sony VX2100 I wanted to make a smooth slow motion. I shot a lizard that could move very fast. I put the shutter speed at 2000 and it began to get a little dark in the viewfinder. I read it has a Max Shutter Speed: 1/10000 sec I then tried to slow it down in post but the picture came out normal and nothing was slowed down. Have I done something wrong or missed something? I am confused because I am still learning about the technical side of Cinematography.
