I know, I'm gonna cut it down and mix things up and get it to a good 2-3mins. THanks

I cut this Reel in a way that is a bit different from the ones I have seen. I cut a project down and so that you can see the light style/mood per project. Let me know what you guys think, I didn't add an Intro of montage clips, I wonder if I should add it. This is my DP Reel, and I did all the camera work as well, it's all HD footage from HPX 3000 and the HDX900 Watch it at 720p if you can. Thanks -Paulo Eduardo Uchoa

I guess the reason why you are not happy with the results is because the camera is a consumer camera, which has it's limitation, due to that fact. After reading up on the camera specs, it looks like you will get the best quality when you set it to FXP (17 Mbps). And I'm guessing the color space is either 4:1:1 or 4:2:0, which is high compression to your color. And then you have to deal with the lens that is built in. So you have a lot of things going against you with this camera. It will never match the quality of high end cameras. So with FCP, you will not see a difference in trying to render it out to a better codec. Stay native to whatever codec the camera records on. Try to see it like this, you may only five cars in a highway so it doesn't matter how many lanes you add if the traffic is low, they won't move any faster.

I was wondering if someone could explain why there is back focus on HD but not on Film. Thanks

I was just wondering what union(s) is there for a film loader in Los Angeles? Thanks

I high recommend removing bars and tone.

Glad to hear that the trailer, currently the project is in post production, I think within the next two months it should be done. We are going to enter it into Festivals, but there will be a screening in the near future at a theater in Los Angeles.

I didn't edit the trailer. I was just the Cinematographer/ Cam op for the project.

I was wondering for someone like myself, would mailing out a cover letter and a resume to a bunch of production companies that you have no connection with, work in getting a entry level job? For example as a Camera PA or maybe as a loader or maybe even as a 2nd ac? I'm having a really hard time finding work out here in LA. I recently graduated from film school and I don't have much connection. I have been using Mandy and craigslist on a a daily bases with no luck. Any advice is greatly appreciated

Anyone know where I could find old issues of American Cinematographer? I'm really looking for the November 2005 issue. Thanks
