Hello, I was recently awarded the opportunity to intern at Panavision and I'm also thinking about applying for the 2 year program that they offer. I hear wonderful things about me getting to meet a lot of great people that work in the industry. Does anyone know the turnout of students that actually get in the industry after completing the 2 year program? Thank you. -Mikayel. B.

Hello To All Members, I'm currently cutting a trailer for a film already shot for school. I have successfully divided the film in different clips by scenes. I have "Up-Resed" the file to DVC/PRO 50, using QTPRO. For some odd reason, when i want to import the "scenes", I get an error message from FCP: File Error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown. Originaly i tried importing the files as an MP4/H.264, still no luck. I have checked the preferences in FCP and made sure that all of my system settings are DVCPro 50. I would love for some input if anyone has any ideas. Thank you. Greatly Appreciated, Mikayel Balian

Yeah, I do find that interesting. I'm also in the process of writing a short story but I'm looking to DP. In a way, I guess I want to build a reel as well as make a good short film, maybe write something that may be fun to shoot as well as have a good chance. I here its very difficult to direct and dp. Mainly because setting up a shot and directing actors simultaneously can become ultra-stressful. I'm sure it can be done. But is the film going to be great, will the Dp be as good as the acting vice versa. -Mikayel
