hi everybody. thanks to Daniel Madsen and Peter Mosiman for the advices. what we did were just use the weather in our favour. we change the film planing and we had three days, and two of them were in exteriors, the first and the last. in Costa Rica the rainnig season is just beginnig, so the days are completlely cloudy, so the light is completly diffuse all day long. the most important day we have a two hours delay because of rainning, but we are in the tropic, thats always normal. we just use for a fill a arri 1k 3200 with a CTB 50% but in the shorts. we could make it and its was my first short using film, so i am happy. i think i did what a have proposed. i hope i can show you later the short. thanks for the advices.

Hi everybody. in a few days i'll going to film for my first time. we are going to film in exteriors on a street. the entire scene is going to happend there whit a bride trying to get inside the building, but she will not, so basically everything is going to happend on the street. we also have kind of 30 extras shouting at here, so, in a few words there's going to be from generals to close ups. we have the permision for closing the street all day, but here's come the thing: from 5:50 in the morning, til 10:20 am we have the facade (i dont know is that is the right word) of the building on shadow, the sun is behind it. but them until 5:50 pm the street an the building is with the sun in the most horrible light, very hard. the budget is very very very VERY low so, if you can bring some advices they ill be received very gratefully. ;) the picture below is from the building that we'ill use. the photo in currently take at 10:20

hi. i have used the PVC with rollingskates wheels and it has worked just fine. its armed in less than 2 minutes and on the table can go at least to persons. the camera and the a.c. its has also some disadvantages like you to be on a flat floor because the PVC its kind of fragile, but putting some wood tables, or some gypsum board the problem can be solved. also you can't to double the PVC, so all the ways are straights. the dolly track is easy to make and its has save me the day many many times. good luck.

Hi, does anyone knows wich is the ISO equivalent value on the PMW EX-1 Sony???

hi Sebastian, my name is Ernesto, and i´m from Costa Rica. I´m finishing Cine & TV in Universidad Veritas, and my thesis is also about the same subjet. i´ve thougt about doing the same exersice. Make one scene by diferetn kinds of lightings (sorry but my english is really basic). then i´ve realize to make a verry short film, everything in studio, and with an imaginary set, just the props he or she were able to touch, and by using color experiment, but that idea did not convinced, and well, i just did what was easier, in one of my other classmate thesis, about an adaptation of a national hero/legend, i´ll use all the diferenr kind of emotions that the script allows me to experiment with the light and do what i like the most, and what goes with the story. i dont know if thats the best desicion, but it works for me, because of the differents kinds of locations, characters and emotions they have. i wish you luck. and keep in touch to know how you solved. ernesto valverde.
