  1. Prince of the City (1981). It is a great story with great acting. There are a lot of great little visual touches by Sidney Lumet and Andrzej Bartkowiak that make this film worth watching.
  2. 35mm 4 perf and 35mm 2 perf are the same width. Why do they have different horizontal resolution?
  3. If you want to see great blocking check out 12 Angry Men. It is an amazing example of moving a lot people around in small space.
  4. I have searched the internet for a while but have not found an answer. What is the maximum dynamic range of a DCI P3 movie? When one is grading for a movie for P3 how far apart can the visible blacks and whites be?
  5. The last movie I saw in the theater was Birdman. It was shot on the Alexa and looked great. During the previews I saw 2-3 minute trailer for Inherent Vice which was shot on film. I think that the rest of the trailers were digital. For the first 15 seconds I really noticed the grain. After that the image looked identical. As soon as I was interested in the story the little technical details faded away.
  6. Just make sure that your camera is a recording some kind of audio track even if it is from a crappy internal mic and then use a program like Pluraleyes to sync them up. http://www.redgiant.com/products/all/pluraleyes/ Plural eyes will automatically sync the audio from the camera with the audio from a separate source. Also Premiere Pro CC and Final Cut Pro X have a similar function, though I believe Pluraleyes works the best. I think that this would be your best solution because you will only have to remember to press record on the camera and separate recorder, the rest of the work will be done in post.
  7. Adam's post was right on the money but I want to add a little bit of my experience. I have directed 4 shirt films but I was the camera operator on three of them. When I was t operating the camera I found it easier to focus in the acting when I watched on a small monitor. I wasn't distracted by all the lights and random stuff out of frame, I was just focused on the actors doing their job. But I wasn't in another room. The monitor was parked about 2 feet behind the camera so I could easily talk to the actors if needed. It as also nice to be able to sit down for a few minutes at a time. I will continue to use this set up wherever possible in the future.
