i remember being impressed with the photography in My Architect.

is Celeste Lite still available? i couldn't find it in the Market. is there another "sun tracker" like app out there for us Android users?

-Kodak Cinema Tools: is a free app that has a Film Calculator as well as a DoF Calculator.

-CamCalc Free: is also a free app that has some useful tools.

Sven Nykvist's early work with Bergman comes to mind. check out Cries and Whispers and Autumn Sonata.

Since Android has evolved I thought this thread could use some updating. I currently use:

 

Celeste Lite (free) - Sun tracker

 

DMX-DIP (free) - DMX to DIP calculator

 

FilmCalculator ($40)- Calculates just about everything to do with film. DOP, lense angle, sun, footcandles depending on actual instrument, focal length, lens matching, etc...

 

Bubble Level (free) - just as name says

 

Mileage (free) - logs and charts a history of all your business driving.

 

I have also found various other DMX tools but havn't implemented them into my work flow.

Great thanks a lot, Mark. is FilmCalculator similar to pCam? i'm not actually sure what pCam has to offer or if you even know, but thought i'd ask anyways.

I think it's in the first sentence of the first thread.

unless you have a time machine one might not make it.

Has anyone heard when the Open House will be this year? Or if they are having one.

good question. normally there's an announcement on their website( http://www.theasc.com/ ). i think its the afternoon of their award show or the day before. i'm not a 100% sure though.

For those in the SoCal area, the following are also actual IMAX screnes

 

 

The Irvine Spectrum, Edwards

 

Ontario, Edwards IMAX

wow, is that it? is there really only one true IMAX screen in LA proper? what about the screen at USC?

If there isn't, we on this forum should totally come up one!

 

My suggestion: Dan M. Blomete' which is an anagram for "Don't Blame Me"

nice! what nationality would he be? he should have a website and a reel for all editors, directors, and/or producers to watch in order to remind them all why DPs are hired in the first place. New England Patriots'(American football team) head coach, Bill Belichick, has a saying to his players, "just do YOUR job!" i think that should apply to our line of work as well.

See Where That One Lies

interesting. has anyone seen Avatar 3D IMAX in L.A.? i was thinking about going the see it at the AMC Century City theaters since the price of admission is much cheaper then The Bridge, Howard Hughes theaters. after viewing the link above i think i should probably save up and go see it on a "real" IMAX screen.

many great films mentioned. i agree with the nominations for:

There Will Be Blood

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly

The Lives of Others

Downfall

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford

Y tu mamá también

amores perros

Lost in Translation

No Country for Old Men

in addition to those amazing films, here's my list (more then 10, but my brain started to hurt too much trying to narrow it down to just 10).

excluding ALL docs and comedies and these are the English titles:

the proposition

crazy heart

dot the i

into the wild

the motorcycle diaries

before night falls

capote

garden state

igby goes down

little children

maria full of grace

monster

monster's ball

sexy beast

sherrybaby

the anniversary party

The Assassination of Richard Nixon

the matador

The United States of Leland

The Baader Meinhof Complex

entre nos

troubled water

the squid and the whale

the woodsman

...

Breaking the Waves

wrong decade. Lar von Trier- 1996

many many excelent films. but i have to point one that no one talked about, and is, for me, an absolute masterpiece:

 

Mystic River

if all of the actors could of gotten their accents right i'd have to agree with you.

items are now on Ebay:

all cards have sold.

items are now on Ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Sony-SBP-8-8GB-SxS-PRO...=item414b3c097f

Two Sony 8gb SxS cards or one-8gb and one-16gb up for sale. ya see, i have 2-8gb and 1-16gb. i need to keep one for myself. one of the 8gb has hardly been used. heck, i only have 215 hours on my camera so balance that out between a 16gb and a 8gb and they're pretty much in like new condition.

ok, a NEW 8GB sells for an average of around $480 US with S&H according to a Google search, so with my generous, near 40% OFF discount let's set the price at $300 USA OBO.

and a 16gb NEW is still selling for $800, so with my very generous discount of 40% OFF, the price will be $500 USA OBO.

8gb= $300 obo

16gb= $500 obo

IM me with an offer. i suppose that's how this works.

thanks,

Mike

It seems like a lot of people have been using the pCam app, on their iPhones. I'm curious to see if there are any cine apps for the Android/Google market, ie: G1 and MyTouch 3G phones?

FYI: i've already emailed David who creted pCam.

thanks,

Mike

according to the editor, 97% was shot on the F23. check out the 7:00 mark of this interview. http://digitalcontentproducer.com/po..._enemies_0909/

i just got back from the theater where i saw a film print. i could definitely tell which shots were done with the EX1. the angles were great but image didn't hold up very well. neither did the F23 footage for that matter. very noisy images even if in nicely light day exteriors. personally, the F23 and EX1 are not made for dramatic lighting for film-outs. S16 looks much better then this print did and today was Opening Day. the print should be flawless.

Theaters with Sony 4K Digital Cinema Projectors:

http://pro.sony.com/bbsc/ssr/mkt-digitalci...Locations.shtml

great new for L.A. viewers. The Landmark Theatres in West LA are showing the film on 2 screens. 4K Sony digital projector and film. i'm gonna see it on film first since its a fresh print and digital projection next time. enjoy!!!!

http://www.landmarktheatres.com/Market/Los...es_Frameset.htm

Why would you want to see a digitally-shot movie in a film projection? Just seems a total waste of film to me. This should be somewhere where digital would excel, unless it is a really bad DLP projector.

 

Anyway, not trying to be a jerk, just wondering why you'd prefer film. Only advanatage it has is colors and some resolution, which wouldn't be apparant in a camera that probalby has much lower bit-depth than MP print stock.

well, i've never seen a film-out from this camera. that's the main reason. your points are valid, but they recorded to SRW decks with the EX1s and that method would produce a 10bit 4:2:2 image.

Since I have an EX, yeah, I'm a little bit interested, but at the same time, I'm sure it will hold up pretty well. I just wonder if the rolling shutter artifacts, if any, will be any more pronounced.

how often do you really notice the rolling shutter in your work? is it that common? what type of operating do you do? if you're noticing a lot of artifacts then i think you've been shooting for Oliver Stone too long. some of his movies give me headaches. ouch!!!

Anybody excited about seeing EX1 footage on the big screen? i hope i get to see a film-out and not a 2/4K projection. either way, i'm kinda excited. ok, maybe just curious.
