No one's mentioned Mike Serisen or Oscar winner Chris Menges and there are countless doco directors who regularly write, direct, shoot and edit - including me:)

We used to do shots like these with purpose built ovens, shooting short bursts or using timelapse. Sometimes we used models and did stop-frame.
I wouldn't advise shooting with an open oven door, that's a recipe for disaster.

They're widely available. Try any of these;
Warehouseexpress
Maplin
Jessops
Calumet

As the director you should concentrate on what shots you need and which shots are most important to get in the can and let the AD worry about what order to shoot them in.
I'm not a fan of shooting simple scenes on more than one camera, but if you have to for speed or any other reason you need to involve the DoP in that conversation, as well as the AD, plus any other heads of department who may be affected by shooting multiple angles simultaneously.
The secret to shooting fast is good communication and good planning. Hope that helps.

If that was the South Africa runner one, it was interesting to test '19 in bright sunlight but the HDCAM-SR D.I. had some problems -- there was an electronic "sizzle" to some of the whites, like on the beach. Kodak tells me that they are going to repost it in 2K.
Yes it was the South Africa one. I heard about the problem with the DI, though I didn't see that as I've only seen the D5.

Hi Guys/Girls, my first post on here...
Did any of you see the 7219 demo? I ask, because I wrote and directed it and I'm looking for some real-world feedback.
Any comments welcome - I'm thick skinned!
Thanks,
Liam.

35mm stills lenses or 35mm cine lenses?
What camera are you using?
Do you follow focus?
What viewfinder are you using and how are you monitoring?
Answer these and I'll answer yours:)
