I completely agree. The dslr look is getting old very fast.

The laundry tip will help a lot, I appreciate it. I'm thinking maybe I can grab some power from the neighbors also, because primarily I would like to keep the bare burning stuff in the house were shooting in, and then maybe run some stingers from the neighbors house for the four 650's & china ball, but yeah the laundry circuit will definitely help out. As far as wiring, 13 gauge wire should be fine right? For 100Watt Bulbs?

Hey guys, so I'm doing a short film in a couple weeks, and my DP wants to do about 15 bare burning bulbs hanging from overhead. What would be the most cost effective way to do this while taking amperage in to account. We would be using either 150Watt or 60Watt bulbs, depending on whats feasible. and would be using available AC power at the location which is a house, and we dont have the option of generator, or any kind of lunch box or anything like that. So basically, what materials will we need? Thanks guys Shane Martin Smith -

Thanks David, I appreciate your time.

According to my instructor, James L. Neihouse, "I will be doing a basic "tele-cine" transfer to HD, so no digital correction, it's basic color timing. The colorist will do most of the work, help me to make sure the shots match within each scene, and basically give me a middle of the road transfer that will let me make other decisions during editing and make sure that I am seeing what I want to see in the transfer." I'm just not sure what that really leaves me with as far as creative changes? This is my first time with this, and I just want to know exactly what kind of options and questions I can choose from, because to me it doesn't sound like much? My school does this very month, so I'm sure they have a basic way of doing this, but I just want to have a leg up. Thanks David!

Hey everybody, I recently just shot a short film for a student project, and in a few days i'm going to color my work at Continental Film Lab, in Miami, Florida. My question is, to what extent can I manipulate my image? I've used Light Room for photography, and I'm familiar with photoshop, but what kind of aspects of color correcting 35mm film, and working with a basic color correction program for digital stills, are alike? - Random Example of Questions - Can I bring up the blues, and the contrast? Can you crush the blacks, and bring up the clarity? If somethings to bright, can I just bring it down a stop overall? Etc... - Particular questions - Can you desaturate the skin tones? Bring up the just the highlights? And, if I do one of these things, and I don't care for it, can I change it back? Thanks guys. I appreciate your helpful guidance.

Thanks for the note Will.

Hey Troy, I've recently seen some stuff shot on 5207/250D, and it looked wonderful, but if your trying to shoot in direct sunlight, I'd go with something a bit slower. Maybe something with a 50ASA. Go on KODAK.com, and check out the specifications on their Daylight film stocks. Sometimes they have videos from other people who used that particular stock. Good luck Troy
