.... Facebook wasn't a good idea? lol

How much loss of speed would there be if I had the NLE on one internal SSD, and the files to be read on a separate internal HDD at 7200rpm?

As I get more freelance shooting jobs, I become more and more concerned with the time it takes me to just set the camera up on a tripod alone. I work better when aiming towards a concrete goal so I was just curious if there was an "industry standard" time for getting a camera body ready to roll. Assuming all necessary gear is dis-assembled and in their cases: -Camera body with output -external monitor/SSD receiving camera output on israeli arm -A zoom lens -Shoulder rig -follow focus -that rig onto tripod -setting up the tripod to desired height How long would it take you to assemble all of that? Perhaps we could make a contest out of it, lol.

Right, forgot about the NDA, sorry.

Prime time's got a nice ring to it, very cool! IMDB states this was primarily shot in Toronto (which you mentioned on an older post that you had recent work in) but I was wondering, since the story takes place in the White House, if any shooting was done in D.C. at all? Obviously not in the REAL White House itself but perhaps a surrounding neighborhood.

Over a year ago, I purchased a macro extension tube to sit between my DSLR and Rokinon cine lens to shoot clips of dice rolls. The "focus to infinity" feature was lost, which I expected, but the depth of field became impossibly shallow for the most part. The piece of gear (that's probably garbage). I recently got a zoom lens for a Super35 sensor camera that has a minimum focus distance of 4.5 feet. There will be times where I'm shooting close quarters indoors and will need that number lowered. Will I be having the same problems with a close-up filter as I do with the macro extension tubes? What are some things to be wary of when using a close-up filter? Thanks.

I've come to understand "filmmaker" as a director who also writes.

In the audio community this is easy to find, you can compare a wide range of microphones and audio gear via this website: https://www.youtube.com/user/SonicSenseProAudio/featured (for some odd reason, their main site is down right now) I've seen the equivalent for cameras when it comes to crop factor compares, but has anyone made a website that's consistently shot the same subject with 100 different cameras and has a side-by-side visual comparison? Would help guys like me who lack the resources to rent a range of cameras.

I've never had legal advice as far as shooting goes, but I've been told if a voice actor sends in their AUDIO recordings to a game dev/animator and there is nothing in a contract that states they are signing over the rights to their recordings to someone else, they could technically sue the video game/cartoon.for using their recordings without permission. Not sure if video is the same. This is in America though.

The sound or visual is over the top? If it's the sound, keep in mind I specifically went with a REALLY messed up VCR, others wont be as extreme on the sound. I seriously advise against plug-ins for emulating any form of tape coloration, just find different VCRs to see what's right for you (really cheap at thrift stores). Plug-ins don't get you quite there, and if someone points out that you used a filter it really cheeses up your efforts. And I agree with your comment on Kung Fury for the most part. Felt like a Youtuber with a kickstarter rather than a filmmaker with an experiment.

Thanks for the help, guys.

You'll need to purchase a DVD/VCR combo that lets you record DVDs on to VHS tapes, along with blank DVDs and tapes. Also grab a low quality VCR from a thrift store or your parent's basement. The biggest expense to get the coloration back to your PC is an RCA video capture card. Now burn a DVD of your footage/audio, put that DVD into the combo player and record to the tape. Now you have an analog source of things you digitally recorded. Use your low quality VCR (for extra coloration if needed) and hook it up to your capture card to get the analog signal converted back to digital. Play the tape and record the feed onto your computer and the process is completed. May need some tinkering in post to get it exactly how you want, but this overall method has been amazing for me. If you want a sample of how it looks, I messed around with the credits score of the first Pokemon movie and gave it that coloration to enhance my illusion, give it a look here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/jc5dxt22dcuxdtk/Pokemon_VHS_Credits.mp4 If you have any questions lemme know.

I'm going insane because Google isn't giving me the answers I need, sorry to drag it on here. What is the Battery life from a RED Brick when hooked up to a RED One MX? Is a RED hard drive something other than a standard 2.5" solid state in a case? And lastly, Does the RED One MX, with most updated firmware, really take 90 seconds to boot up? Thank you, to everyone.

One thing I've done for the tape sound in the past is playing a source through a Sony Walkman with an FM transmitter and recording its headphone output straight into my interface. For a song, it sounded great. Is VHS coloration also a consideration for you? If so, I have a method for that as well, just ask.

I've wondered about this as well. Are GoPros a serious consideration for a cinematic car scene? I hear so many people (not professionals) praising them, but I personally think the look is way too video.

One thing that'd make the recording process easier is recording your stuff in WAV, then looping it through that thing if possible to pick up the coloration. Ease of digital, sound of tape, best of both worlds.

How much money do you have access to and what can you sell those other mics for? Better to start with a solid pre/A2D and work your way up. The current set up you're mentioning right now is a recipe for white noise disaster.

What is baffling about having a job? Are you 10?
