Are the ASA ratings the same for Super 8mm film as they are for regular 35mm film? I've never seen Super 8mm film advertised as being 1600 ASA for example. The numbers are always low. Why is that? Also, what's the crop factor like for Super 8mm film?

Reading my brains out. Cinematic Storytelling is changing my life. Filmmaking ain't "nothin' but a grind" in the words of Ray Lewis.

Cinematic Storytelling and my DVI/HDMI cable have arrived in LaGrange. Now if the post office would hurry up and deliver my mail.

Just found a wireless keyboard/mouse combo for 30.00 from B&H. Also just wrote a quick and dirty summary for a script about a voodoo slave uprising! Tonight is going to be quite a night.

Has PTSD from watching someone play "Amnesia: Descent into Darkness" for over an hour. Scariest game ever.

One day it'll all work out, that's what I keep telling myself. If not, I've always got my first loves - film, and music. Everything else is secondary.

Beginner's Camera
Adam Barnett posted a topic in Students, New Filmmakers, Film Schools and Programs
I'm new to the art of "cinematography" (although what I'll be shooting in the beginning will probably far from qualify as that) and asked an experienced camera operator what I should do to get started. His name is Dan Marrero and he recommended me to this site. His advice was this: "... buy a camera and start shooting". I'm short on funds and make about 500 to 600 dollars a month (I'm living in a side room at a relatives house for the moment until I find better employment). 200 of that goes to car payments. Probably around 100 goes to gas, and 100 to food. That leaves me with around 200 to spend/save if I stick to that budget. I'm debating between these cameras and wanted to know if an Olympus Pen (specifically the E-P1 or E-P2) would be a reasonable thing to start with. Right now I'm stuck with a Casio Exilim EX-FH20 which is quite frankly a piece of crap as far as trying to shoot video because you essentially have zero control over aperture, shutter speed, or ISO (all you get is exposure compensation of like 2 stops I think). The EP-1 and E-P2 give the user the ability to change both aperture and shutter speed. I'll sacrifice ISO for now since I need a camera fast and don't have much experience (why waste money right?). Is this a wise decision?
