Apologies, I mean Nitris of course.

Is it possible, or is there any way you can incorporate 5.1 surround into your sound track when editing in Media Composer? I presume upgrading to Nitro would be in order, perhaps using Pro Tools for the mix?

Like a similar thread in this catagory, I too will be shooting a sunrise (over Canary Wharf, London) however I shall be using time lapse. I would like to know from any of you with time lapse experience which frame rate to use. To give an accurate account of what I want to achieve, I wish to use the same frame rate as the sunrise at the start of the film Training Day. Could anybody please help, with their best guess, the frame rate used for this particular shot I refer to? I will be hopefully using an Arriflex 435 Xtreme, and I am as yet undecided on film stock

Thank you for your valued input, and your approach is helpful. I also wondered if perhaps I could use minifluds, hidden from shot when panning camera between club activities and the character walking through the club. I want to have the feel of things going on as the character walks through, I like and understand your vision, but this scene needs the whole club to be seen, with extras as club patrons, for a busy feel to the club as the character walks through. The reason I'm directing and gaffing, and pretty much everything else is due to budget and crew restraints, because It will be a guerilla production. This scene can be classed as a night/interior becuase the club I'm hoping to use has no windows, and the celing height is approximately 3 metres.

In a script I'm working on (I will be writer, directer, etc. as well as gaffer) there will be a scene where the character walks through a pool club in a continous shot. Similar to John Travolta walking through Jack Rabbit Slims in Pulp Fiction. I would like some feedback on the best way to light this scene, as there is alot to light, as well as the fact its a continous shot so hiding the lighting is also important. I want the lighting to be natural to the environment (bar lights, table lights, ceiling and wall lights etc), but if I don't use addition lighting I'm worried about it looking dull. It will be shot hopefully using an Arriflex 435 Xtreme, most probably using Fujifilm Eterna 500T. I am keen to get this right as I'm sure you'll understand.
