Wayne Smith III

Hi, I'm a junior in high school. I have a 3.5 GPA and hoping to score 25 on my ACT. I'm looking to attend college with a major in business (focusing on entertainment) and minor in some type of advanced film program. Can anyone think of any schools in the North East the features these types of programs. I live in Cleveland and don't want to be that far from home.

You are all correct! Slow-mo, defused, taxi driver, Old school Hollywood look. I'm still a little confused on lighting the eyes correctly to achieve twinkle.

My subject is tan skinned, dark haired and green eyes. I'm doing an outdoor scene in a public area. I would like to give her the classic soft focus (typically done with blondes) "beautiful woman effect". I want light to go through her hair. and her eyes to shine. I may or may not have the use of a light kit. If I don't, i'll have to dampened on the sun, a reflector, and flash lights any suggestions?

I'm getting this info from the manual. I'm just wondering, if the aperture is fully opened to it's maximum capacity, will the image be totally white. Or will some detail still remain. The book does not specify. thanks (Actually the camera came with the manual... totally mint condition! :P)

Alright that makes since, thanks! When the aperture is totally closed, will the footage be totally black to the point that no light coming in? and the opposite if it was all the way open?

Sorry Auto Vs. Manual.. However with this camera the, the manual features are very limited!

Also do you recommend setting the camera to automatic or regular?

True.. Mainly I just wanted the option. I might revert to black and white in post. Again I'm new to film and don't know all this much.

Next Wednesday, I will be shooting my first super 8 short. The project will be a combination of VHS HDV and super 8 footage. The short will be noir like and I have a 4 light tungsten kit to create this effect. I know very little about film. I'm shooting on a vintage Canon 814 camera (auto zoom or something) and the stocks i'm using are the Kodak Vision 3 and vision 2. Does anyone have any suggestions or special tips to make sure my first attempt at "filming" is not in vain. If the footage does not come out correctly, it would not ruin the project, however I would like to include the super 8 footage. Thanks a bunch Wayne PS. The footage will be transferred in hd. Does anyone recommend a good reasonably priced Telicine services.
