I actually thought of a 3d rig for the concept but I'm in an area where there's no production house that has a 3d rig yet so i need to build it myself.... anyway i have to find a beam splitter in order to split the light in two. any advice. Thanks john for your reply :)

I'm trying a new experiment that needs to have two cameras shooting the exact same frame (with and without movement) in the same time. I thought about building a 3D like grip that allow me to have two cameras positioned at a 90 degree angle with a mirror (1 side is mirrored the other is a transparent glass) at 45 degrees between the two cams. I did not start building this rig, i need some advice about lightweight materials i can use and what to look for and the lacks and strengths of this system. Thank you,

Not any comment? Come on guys anything... Honestly, Thank you

Hey everyone, This is my new showreel, i am an amateur cinematographer working on shorts, and ads Please provide feedback and critique, I need to know your opinion honestly, Thanks a lot everyone, Regards, Jad Beyrouthy http://vimeo.com/15862913

I was shooting a short on RED, and as soon as we were prepping the cam we realized that we had no audio signal, i tried changing my cables my mics and corrected the sound preferences in the cam menu but the problem was never solved. another problem appeared when i rolled my first shot (without sound/ recording on a separate recorder) that each take (varying from 5 to 30 seconds) would playback in a couple of frames, i was shooting on 320 iso, 180 degree shutter, 25 frames per second and with varispeed off. i loaded the rushes and got the same result (playback in a couple of frames). i had to shoot the scene without audio while recording on a separate recorder, and turning on varispeed on 25fps in order to playback normally the footage until the backup cam arrived. the first RED had the new firmware (build 30). any similar experiences? Tips? Trick? thanks in advance

thank you everyone for your replies :) helped a lot :)

does the speed of the compact flash card matters? what speed is mostly recommended for shooting video?

i have a big experience in shooting photography in 5d mark II but i have a short comin up where the producer suggested the 5d mark II to shoot while i was suggesting the red one camera. most of the movie (80%) is shot handheld and i've been hearing a lot of comments about dropping frames while in motion or handheld with the mark II, any comments or help tips? thanks a lot guys :)
