Hi friends

I am using BMD Cinema camera, most of my shots are on green matte. I want to know is there anyway i can understand the lights I am using are right ( i use led street lights 50 watts) and whether shots are good enough to key-out. [ I don't have VFX supervisor as i am unable to hire one, because my budget doesn't support:-) ], pls suggest a link to know more about green matte.

 

PS : if anybody out here looking for an opportunity as VFX technician and supervisor, pls contact. Vhdigitals@gmail.com.

Got a new Alura lens from Arri. I don't need it now so I would sell if anybody in india want to buy

We are planning to use REDONE MX for our feature film. I would like to know what may be the difference in the quality if I use Zeiss Compact Prime lenses (CP2) instead of Arri Ultra prime lenses.

I would like to offer free editing for good short films and independent features. It is to help guys who can't offered to pay editors fee. I Have trained around 200 students on AVID and FCP.

Hi

Pls help me buy only necessary accessories for my camera. I own REDONE, with Ultra prime lenses, I got Alura zoom lens as well. Now I want to buy Arri FF4 and Matte box. I use 19mm rods. My Question is do I have to buy all the following accessories for the above products?

1. Extension of Focus knob

2. Focus lever (Speed handle)

3. Flexible shaft long (900mm)

5. Flexible shaft short (300mm)

6. Metric Module gear- (Note:we got Ultra prime lenses feet scale. Is there any feet scale module gear or this metric gear only enough?)

7. Lens support (LS-9) Note: Is this necessary?

You guys had helped me while buying Redone. Hope this time too you would come to help.

thanks in advance.

I got REDONE Camera and I can't offered to buy full set of Ultra, So I'm planning to buy 16mm 32mm, 50mm lens with one Alura Zoom (buying is inevitable due to some obligation). Can any of you suggest me whether the choice of Alura is good or any other I need to think of. I'm the director so no much Idea on lenses.

Very Valuable suggestions and tips, I'm very grateful to all of you. some more pls. Some tips on cinematography also would really help.

HI friends

First time I am getting into Direction with the bounded script, and with constraint budget :unsure: . There is a kind of fear inside, what may come to make my movie look substandard :rolleyes:

What are those small things which I may not know.

Pls someone out there help me make my movie look as good as any other experienced filmmaker's. one tip of each you throw would b of great help.

thanks in advance

which part of cinema field in India are you in? is your movie production started yet? let us make a group of Indian cinema enthusiasts. OK jay singh

yetto start.. We are from Telugu and kannada industry.

Hey Guys,

 

Or is it better to get the smaller camera that is okay to use but not the real heavy set kind of camera.

Hello

Instead of buying big camera you buy Canon 5D or 7D camera. It has given a wonderful image quality. I suggest any good film maker with less budget can rely on this small camera to make good movie. Movie demands good script, not the tools like camera and lights.

good luck

Hi Ravi Kumar

Here is a friend of mine who is in the Telugu film industry, u can contact her by sending mail. she would help you. her mail Id transitionsmedia@gmail.com.

thank you adrian,more advice please.

I feel, to be a good director( means grammar wise, not content wise) you need to know the Editing first. it helps you learn mistakes. it answers many of your questions.

Hi,

 

The Ultra prime is a zeiss range launched 15+ years ago, they are very good. That's the beauty of renting. You should not buy a set of expensive lenses without trying them & ideally some other lenses first.

I am buying lenses to make my movie and to let it out later for rent. My banker allow me to buy but will not support to rent it. so I need suggestions to buy set of lenses often cinematographers prefer to take on rent( lenses useful for my movie is the priority. pls help

Thanks so much for u all Specially Tanner for details . very informative. I take your suggestions.

Hi

 

In India digital film making is picking up, and it's a good sign. I feel we Indians can do better movies if we improve technically. More and more technicians should upgrade to new technology. Many small countries are very much ahead of us technically and content wise too.

Our Youngsters should think beyond money making.

Here is an opportunity if somebody looking for a break.

For our production house ( I'm an Editor there) we are looking for a young but talented friendly budding cinematographer for regional movie. if there are guys who are working as assistants and looking for a break in feature film can send me their demo link to pass it on to the director.

Let's make a nice group.

Can anybody tell in detail what is the difference betn prime lenses and ultra prime lenses. which is good for film making specially digital film making?
