Which version of AE?

Here's another opinion comparing an HDV camera and the DVCPROHD codec of the HVX. Please remember this is just another opinion ONLY and your mileage may vary. http://www.bluesky-web.com/HDVHVX.htm

DPing for Thesis Film
Timothy Brown replied to Nicholas Jenkins's topic in In Production / Behind the Scenes
Cold won't bother the camera as much as condensation produced by temperature extremes from taking it from the very cold into someplace warm. Keep the cameras in the cold and try to keep your batteries as warm as possible as the cold certainly will zap their juice. -
This is a known problem that sometimes occurs using P2 and a Mac. It happens to a lesser extent using a P.C., but happens nonetheless. Here is an extensive discussion thread discussing the problem and solutions: http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?t...t=solve+problem Hope it helps.

With all the HDV offerings available there's certainly plenty to choose from, unfortunately none of the formats are compatible between manufacturers. You'll have to use JVCs HDV deck or the cam.

...Or perhaps the camera was on its default settings without proper set-up and adjustment. Have a look here for more information: http://www.bluesky-web.com/HDVHVX.htm

Program for lighting floor plan
Timothy Brown replied to Yaron Y. Dahan's topic in Lighting for Film & Video
Omnigraffle is sometimes helpful and is certainly quick and easy to use: http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnigraffle/ Also, check under the extras section for film lighting stencil set to be used in Omnigraffle. -

Why Red causes conflict, and the future of filmmaking
Timothy Brown replied to Chris Kenny's topic in Red
Interesting statement Karl. Perhaps this is a fundamental concern and thus a cause for an abundance of the backlash on these boards for what the Red team is trying to accomplish. Personally I think most of the cinematographers on these boards have little to fear from those that are enthusiastic about the introduction of the Red One as I see it as just another hammer, but I have been wrong in the past. I just don't understand all the back and forth, so perhaps Karl's statements hit the nail on the head. -
Being informed is a very good thing. Here's a link to tests using all the baby "HD" cameras. You'll need to register to access the site, but it's free. http://dv.com/features/features_item.jhtml...cleId=192501232

New to the XL2! Have I made the wrong decision!?
Timothy Brown replied to James Briggs's topic in Canon
I always love when this statement pops up. James you made a great decision in purchasing an XL2. If it does what you need it to do and you're comfortable using it, then by all means it was a good buying decision. I'm of the opinion that for most narrative filmmakers, the most important tool to have is a firm understanding of lighting and controlling it and this is achieved easiest by becoming familiar with an entry level lighting kit. If you can keep the windows from blowing out, have a perfectly placed eye glint and just a touch of rim on someone that's lit to perfection, it won't matter what you shoot them with, it should look good. But by no means is that box or bag of Lowell Totas on the floor as sexy as an XL2 or an HDX. Interesting though, that without the Totas or any other lighting instruments, footage from either would look about the same, and not all that great. Just my 1 penny. -
I'm sure if you were to add a bit of grain, they would certainly have the "feel" of film as everything else seems to be there.

My families well wishes and prayers are with you as well John.

It was shot with the Sony F950 as mentioned in Post magazine.

simple lighting set-ups
Timothy Brown replied to David Mullen ASC's topic in Lighting for Film & Video
I drew a lot of inspiration and insight from this thread and thought I'd revive it and add my .02 cents in hopes that others would do the same. Project shot on DV, miniscule lighting package and uncorrected grabs. Plot Plot A couple of simple setups. Please excuse my less than adequate jpeg compression. -
I suggest we change the name to "makingbeautifulimagerybymoldinglight.com" as to not continue the trite "film vs. video vs. digital acquisition" debate.

XL-H1 not the only progressive HD cam using Interlaced CCD's
Timothy Brown replied to Mr. Shannon W. Rawls's topic in Canon
Yes, Discovery HD does indeed take HDV, DVCPro, and upconverted SD footage to the extent that the content does not exceed 30% of the overall project. You can check for yourself here: http://www.discoverychannel.ca/_includes/d...od_Specs_04.doc -
