The College of Santa Fe has a documentary program. Not sure of the quality, but it's there.

fill most of the bag with old clothes or something of the sort. On the top, get stacks of ones, each with a hundred on top and pile them on so it looks like it's full of 100s

some of the conference room could do with better lighting. Those overhead lights can be kind of distracting and the camera certainly didn't like them at various points. I didn't like the directing in the first 4 minutes, but it was amusing and well directed after that.
I liked the bathroom shot (man dancing while washing hands). Nice video all around, fair quality

try kodak's student website. There's a glossary of film terms there

Chaos is the lack of control. When you decide to do a "chaotic" shot, you need to reduce the chaos as much as possible. This doesn't mean make what your audience will see any less realistic, but instead, plan out exactly what your cameras and subjects will be doing. How do you keep the boom pole out of your shot? Make sure you plan your shot so that, when your camera begins its "chaotic" movement, it is following a path that will not let the boom into the frame. If the boom needs to move (as it probably will) factor that in as well.
It's rather ironic that, the more chaos is in your shot, the more orderly and planned out everything needs to be. It all must work like clockwork.

USMC-issue combat boots. And yes, I can walk SILENTLY in them.
That's my style. Marauder II is my boot.

as far as I can tell, the musical scenes were, as david said, shot on a pd100 or 150. A DSR-1p was used as well. For most shooting, I'm assuming they used their DXC-D30 though, and not the 1p :D

PV-GS250 and the PV-GS400
As you said, both are 3CCDs. This is a good start. The 250 is a 3.1 megapixel camera, while the 400 is a 4 megapixel. Not sure if you're after stills, but if you are, there's something to consider. The 400 in my experience produces very good color in nearly all light, while the 250 performs well in all but low light.
It's too bad that the 250 still has low light problems, as it's an improvement over the 200, with new CCDs etc. Speaking of which, we can get a feel for the cameras by comparing their CCDs.
250: 1/6 inch
400: 1/4.7 inch
the 250 has 640/800 pixels video-effective, while the 400 has 700/1000 or...1070 maybe?
All in all, the 250 is better than a number of Panasonics, but it still needs some work, while the 400 performs well above the other PV models and plays level with both sony and canon cameras.
The 400 is not a bad choice at all.

It's not a money issue it's a time issue and there are lots of schools that are only two days. I figured I could get the basics down from it anyway. I;m not a starving student I have a company to run and can not be gone for much longer thatn that. <_<
I'm not quite sure what you mean by the basics. From what I've seen of the NYFA week-long courses, it's less cinematography concept etc, and more "this is how you make a film. Do this, and go film."
Definately read books before you go to make the week more rewarding

"Amelie" - Crane shot going over Amelie at the waterfall, ending above the water as she throws rocks right at the camera. (Delbonnel)
There are so many beautiful shots in Amelie...or at least a lot of beautiful lighting

Well, it´s certainly been a while since I dropped by here, but that´s life.
I have a slightly odd request: I´m looking for the correct format for French screenplays. My own feeble efforts to find this info have turned up nothing. Has anyone here worked in the french industry at all?
