  1. First off, thanks for watching. I'd like to shorten this from 3 to 2 minutes. What would you remove? Does the music work? Are the titles too much? Some clips were already compressed for the web, they look pixilated and the highlights are blown out. Should they get cut? Again, thank you for watching. Nick My link
  2. Your work is too good Justin. Stop being so good. Jeeze. Seriously though. I think its fine.
  3. In addition for the "due to incredible producing." You would assume we had a budget of 4k by looking at our gear on that shoot.
  4. Thanks tom. Your reply is very helpful. Thats all the info I needed
  5. I'm struggling converting 550 foot candles to a f/stop at 200 iso and 180 shutter. Can anyone help me out? Or 6000 lumens to ... Thanks
  6. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nODrTbolW08&feature=player_embedded#at=44 Havent been shooting much this last year or at all. First project of 2011. This was done with a 500$ budget I believe. Due to incredible producing
  7. Has anyone here attended the workshop? http://www.thefloridaworkshops.com/class_camera_assistant.html I am looking to attend the A.C class in either March or this summer. Doug Hart is attached to the class, so I'm hoping its similar to the Maine workshops. Still I haven't herd anything about it and like to hear some peoples first hand experience. Thanks
  8. I cant agree more. For me the Academy's best cinematography award has lost legitimacy after 2010. Still I'll have enough interest to google the 2011 winners after. Ha.
  9. I'm a.c on a low budget feature. We are shooting with the sony ex3/stock lens. The D.P came up with the idea of marking certain focal lengths that we will stay at on the glass. Acting like the cheap zoom lens is a prime lens. We do not have enough time in testing to find the right focal lengths with the right F.O.V. Is there a faster way to translate at 50mm equivalent is on the 1/2 video lens without extensive testing? Thanks, Nicholas
  10. I need help finding my CoC with an odd medium. Shooting 1920x1080 with a 1/2 sensor (EX3 6.4mmX4.8mm) and the film is intended to screen on an 30' - 60' projector. There is not an sure answer for uprez. So I want to play it safe and say 4k. Giving the frame a 2.8444 magnification. Thanks
  11. Exactly. Great job Edgar, beautiful footage!
  12. Right, I see what you are saying and agree. I did not notice the hardish key on the girls while shooting. I am still training my eye, last September marked my first year anniversary as an amateur cinematographer. I got a long way to go without a mentor or film school. Number 1 reason why this board is so important to guys like me. Thanks for the input!
  13. Originally, there was much more overall detail on the velvet curtain in camera and while I was grading the footage. But the editor darkened the overall music video after I finished grading. Making more of that vignette on the curtain than I wanted. I believe the director liked that and it was done without me knowing. So it is what it is. Yet, if you notice, the performers white button up shirt is clipping in front of the curtain. I'm glad that you didn't notice that. The blue pollution that was on his forehead is from my grading, yet I never wanted that but didn't have "color" or a real grading application to properly achieve the look wanted. The adapter was a Letus Extreme, which looses a half a stop of light and restrict the SLR lens f stop to be below 5.6 or the sensor of the camera will pick of information of ground glass. All together my ISO was somewhere in between 100-200 depending on my gamma setting and stop.
