I just finished shooting a short film and while transferring the AC changed the name of the CONTENT folder to Day1..Day2..Day3 and now we are not able to put it on the FCP time line How to put this right? Thanks a lot.

If there are a hell lot of visual effects involved ina film is it better to stick to a Pro digital camera or still 35mm will be better

Thanks mate

I'm doing this small scene where there are three characters in a room and the only source of light is a projector from which a film is playing on the screen. How do i create this kind of an effect where i can see projector images falling on characters body and there is no other light source. Thanks

No motion jus a simple static block shot how does that happen

I saw this film where the character was moving normally and the cars and everything else around him was in slow motion dat too a bit blurry...how is that done?

I got the information that an SR2 has a PL mount and so does Ultra primes but is there any possibility of vignette on the edges

I'm shooting S16 on SR2 but planning to use 35mm lenses so wanted to know if thats possible...and if yes then what options do i have out of Ultra Primes, Zeiss, Cookes............? which one's can be mounted on a SR2

hi... I'm shooting a feature on S16 and going on DI and will print it to 35mm 1:2.35 as in India projection is only anamorphic 1:2.35 but what will happen if we dont go through the DI process and release it on the same format ...will the image will only be seen on half of the screen ...will it be distorted in someway...streched or something....please let me knw. thanks

I'm really confused in this matter please help me out. What stock is used in Night Ext. day or tungston balanced? If in a scene if characters are moving from Int with all day lights to Ext Night with tungston lighting then we use two different stock or what and what if this happens in a singe shot

The reason why we are going S16 is because the director and producer want go super 35 and DI instead of R35 to have no limitations but then we go really high on budget so the next best option is S16.....so what is the aspect ratio reccommended and what shuold it be framed for coz eventually it will go on anamorphic 1:2.35

Thanks David for replying......can you also tell me which diffusion cuts more ligth n which one is less....what do u prefer msotly

What is the difference if i use Silk or Muslin or Bleached Muslin or any other diffusion. Thanks

If i'm shooting S16 and then goin Di to make it anamorphic 1:2.35 print on 35mm then what is reccommened... can i use a mask of 1:1.85 and a ground glass of 1:2.35 or something else. Thanks

I have some serious confusion with the format...Please clear out..Help! Ok i read about film perforation and how it works on the intermittent mechanism with the pull down claw and the pressure plate and film gate....but what about video there are no sprockets there so how does that work and hows the image captured on the tape. Also the illusion of motion created by film by capturing continuous still frame but how does it work on video? Thanks a lot

But i'm still confused why do we shoot 24p then. If i shoot 24p how do i go about post production, are there editing softwares which support 24p? and if yes which one's? Also how much difference is there in 24p and 25p? Really want to know about this....Thanks

About the 24p mode i have a confusion, even if we shoot it on 24p in the end all out players and recorders are 50i or 25p for Pal so when we capture the footage and take the final dump its going to be 50i also won't 24p be a problem shooting sync sound. Please clear out my confusion. Thanks a lot.

It was about going around in Villages and waiting for the right light...because there's intresting stuff everywhere in Indian villages its jus t about waiting for the right light...Thanks anyways Its all natural light but looking for over all reviews on the pics as i'm now working on my composition and exposure...

Need some reviews of my work. Thanks a lot. http://www.flickr.com/photos/85085637@N00/

what is an average tution fees in America for schools known for cinematography education

But wont the course duration come to 5yrs including the polish language course because i'm english speaking

I wanted to know hows the Lodz film school for cinematography, whats the coures duration and fee ....and most of all how difficult or easy is it to get in it because it does'nt seem to be a profit making institution...i checked out the website which is in polish and the english version is not detailed .....so please someone give info about it....thanks a lot

what exactly is a job of a video assist...what alll responsibilities?

Oh very well ...America Vs Britain but are there any more film schools there because i have to come back to the Indian Film Industry where films much more in quantity are made and education from any film school would work if you can market and sell yourself...........sp plz are there ny more film schools...thanks coz thats how all of this started initially
