Looks like there might be a red light on his face. I'll play around with it more when i shoot. The other qeustion i had was when i'm shooting outside do i just use reflecters to use the sun to my advantige or should i use lights?

This is great help for me guys! So maybe the Idol should have the light shining directly above it?

No. I can maybe sqweeze it to $500 but thats pushing it. This guy will sell me all this stuff for $300: "I have a krag 3 16mm motion picture camera for sale. given an overhaul by a professional film/video company in new york, it includes filter kit with a variety of special effects filters. also has shoulder stock for ergonomic filming, and a variety of other accessories that came with the camera. it does come with seven rolls of motion picture daylight film. LET'S NEGOTIATE A PRICE! the arrangements for purchase will be person to person, giving the buyer a chance to see the camera up close and personal. moreover a demo of the camera will be given; it does have a manual. Buyer will receive a Filmmaker's Book Collection including the Filmmaker's Handbook-probably the single greatest source for beginning and intermediate filmmakers. I will also throw in a super 8 Film editor complete with a roll of Super 8 Film containing footage of animals living in the wild. A great value, including: A filter kit,unexposed kodak and fuji 16mm film, and the collection of Film production books. I'm seling the camera and film accessories because I've decided to focus my time and creative energies on music, writing, and art." Found it on Craigs list!

I still might get a k-3. I'll try and muffle the sound the best i can.

I'm a young film maker and i want to start building my portfolios with shorts. I was thinking about getting a 16mm film camera like the K-3 but it seems it's to hard to record sound with those noisey buggers. My budget is ubout $300 at most. I hate the look of Mini DV. What should i do!?

It' hand helld cus i wanted to make the idol shimmer. Bad Idea?

Well i'm in pre-production on a short fan film called lil' Raider. It's a Raiders of the Lost ARk spoof but the twist is Indy's a kid. Here is a screen test i did: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xumSq4XQJKU How is my lighting?

This all really helps. Is film very expensive and where can i buy it?

Ok first of all i'm new here so Hi all! Now on to my qeustion. I'm seriously thinking about buying a 16mm camera. Most likley a K-3. I use DV right now but that is not giving me the look i want. I am a ameteur film maker. When using a K-3 is it too noisie to record the actors dialouge? Can you only record silent movies with a k-3? Do i have to have my actors come in and dub the film later in post? This is what will sway me on wich way to go. Is there a 16mm camera simmaler to the K-3 that isn't noisey and will allow me to record sound? Help me out!
