http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVeeqPDX0-o Hey guys, I haven't been here in a while, so I'm glad to be back and see this forum is still here and alive. I've been editing a project all summer..I probably won't get paid much at all. But I accepted the challenge because it's for a good cause. This is a rough cut, featuring notable football, boxing stars, musicians and the inner city youth of LA. Ring-led by George Mumford (sports psychologist. Lakers, Bulls, etc) I kindof know what's wrong with this short already. But I'd love to hear any other perspective. Brutal, honest feedback is painful but I welcome it, since you may spot something I didn't think of, or see. That is priceless. I hope you enjoy, and remember this is a rough cut, be gentle too! (scratch that, be brutal as you need to be)

Hi guys, I'm selling my Fujinon Th16x5.5BRMU lens on ebay, and someone is interested. His question is: "Does the lens have any bokeh, especially for medium to close shots of people? I am especially interested for doing interviews." Any answer so I can answer him is much appreciated! thanks, Warner bokeh example

I'm not sure how much it's worth now. probably less than $1,000. But since it came back from JVC, I now have this optical issue. :(

Hey Guys, So I'm working with the fine folks over at AE35 Media. We just launched, and already have a client. Now, in the past title/motion graphics-wise, my workflow was (Photoshop & FCP Motion) if not Aftereffects. I prefer motion because it's all in FCP and I don't lose a quality generation (say if i was doing a title over footage in AE etc.) I've been hunting around for info. Do any of you know the professional specs for titles/graphics? For instance if I'm doing the graphics in Photoshop and want the highest quality for output, should the photoshop file be 16 bit? stuff like that. On a sidenote: other than Motion/photoshop/FCP are there other good programs for titles, what is the pro industry standard? Thanks so much in advance for any of your tips, and happy holidays! W

Hi guys, My JVC-HD100 doesn't record or pick up any sound, other than a TAP TAP TAP. I sent it to JVC service support. They said it needs a new optical board, an HJK power thing and something else. All amounting to $1300. Of course, this isn't worth it. I was intending on getting it fixed and selling it for something else. Now I'm not sure what to do..Or how much I could sell it for with the sound not working. Do you recommend any dealers/resellers? should I ebay it? I've been googling everywhere for other JVC repair specialists that might be more affordable, but haven't had any luck. Any advice would be very appreciated. Thanks, Warner

Hey guys, I have a 5-yr old HD100. The sound worked fine until last July. Water might have possibly gotten in. I have no visual or capture issues. When I'm recording, all I get is a tap, tap, tap. Just like a metronome sound. I've tried switching the inputs, mics, modes, checked the audio settings, testing. Still nada. I'm considering getting the audio fixed, & selling the HD100 in favor of something smaller and as good. Problem is I know when there is some kind of circuitry issue JVC will charge alot more than I can afford (which is probably not worth it) Right now I'm googling for a JVC Camera Repair shop here in North California. If you guys have any suggestions, it would be so appreciated! Cheers, -Warner

In the rush coordinating things to get done, I made a mistake on ONE word in the script. my actor said "what is it?" when the line was supposed to be "what is that?" Phillips informed me, but I was asleep due to the central european time difference. When I woke up and saw it, their 1700 hrs had passed! I about cried but didnt give up. had to find my actor, ADR, export/upload/process. So it was super late, but they graciously accepted it. now I can rest easy, assemble life back together. Never smoked so many cigarettes in my effing life :P

Unidentified - Youtube It took 4 months and a small globally distributed team to do this 2:50 sec short. I did some fx as well. Enjoy! There are some obvious flaws, but given the timeframe and the brainbusting, I think we did a good job. Hope you like. There are some other awesome entries, it's been a pretty fun contest. I'm going to sleep for a week now. :P Warner

Here it is UNID Unidentified - Youtube the 3min entry version for Phillips Cinema|Parallel Lines contest. It's flaws are obvious, but given the time frame I'm proud of it. Enjoy and wish me luck!

Hey Vincent, here is the that reveals a bit more. To answer, I did 'breathe' by myself. fx, sound, shooting,etc to prove wrong the notion that films have to be made by 10 or more people. I got so tired of hearing that in college :) With this short, it's more of a collaboration which is much funner. I've found 3 great vfx guys online who are helping with some shots. I'd like to find someone who is far more capable than me for DP work. but for now I like holding the camera ;)

Thanks Vincent, I appreciate that. It's a challenge as I have until August 8th for a 3 minute version for Ridley Scott's "Parallel Lines" contest. (link) I was thinking whether to post a synopsis before. I get concerned someone will steal the concept. Another guy said it's better to put it out there when the film is finished. What do you guys think? I also like to keep it under wraps so it doesn't spoil things. One aspect of the plot though deals with corporate espionage. I like how Nolan kept "Inception" & even "dark knight" very secret for a long time, so as not to spoil it. He spoke in the press conference about that. I agree. I love to go see a movie and not know much about it, then be surprised.. Otherwise things can get taken for granted you know? but it does depend on what kind of movie you're making too.

Watching it right now, nice work. I agree with Gene about the filter...It's kinda cool but my mind is saying "this is almost rotoscoped, but it's not" it has somewhat of a jarring effect. Maybe that's what you were going for with trippin balls look, but I'd suggest it'd be as effective (& trippy) without the filter. Otherwise it's well shot and I like your concept!

any feedback guys?

Production Diary. 5/19/10 Editing has come to a halt. my powerbook G4, which I've had for 5 years has conked out on the monitor. until I get a new display I haven't been able to edit. So I've found myself back in the PC world..reacclimating myself to the troubleshooting I was so fond of not having on a Mac. Nostalgia & good times..until I can raise the money to get a new mac, I've been able to jump back into Maya/Mental Ray/HDRI to rust up on my somewhat intermediate VFX skills. It's refreshing in a way to sort out all these kinks now, so that I won't have to worry about them later..that said, it's disconcerting to know I have one scene in the can that I can't edit. I'm thinking about the footage, and how fast we shot some of it. once I get the "indislide" I should go back to the city with my actor and reshoot some things. You can correct alot in post, make shaky shots smooth etc. I'd rather just do it right the next time rather than rush.

By the way, I did remove some wires, a satchel, and helmet in post..incase you were thinking i actually threw my actor off a building (which i'd love to do! :rolleyes: )

A sci-fi/thriller. Currently filming with the jvc HD100, obviously doesn't handle well with motion (ghosting effect) but this is a grab from a fast pan.

Thanks, I think I will keep it..the footage I've shot sofar is nice (though there is a blue hue over everything) with true Color V3, assuming I need to recalibrate it. The AF100 does look very promising.

I love my old HD100 (bought in 2005) but I'm thnking about selling it and getting the Canon 5D Mark II, it's pretty cool. I'm conflicted, what do you guys think? http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controll...fcategoryid=139
