  1. -Natalie asked an honest question and should not be criticized for it. Your comments only add frustration to a person who is trying to get a feel for a very competitive and sometimes cutthroat industry. We all know about working up the later?and there is much validation in this process. The best advice ever given to me about being recognized as a cameraman was two fold: 1) Make art with whatever recourses are at your disposal and let this be evident in your reel. If this is means you are shooting with a cheep dv camera and a light or two -blow people away with what is available to you. Remember inability breed?s creativity. 2) When interviewing for a job connect with your director on more levels than just lighting and techie jargon. As your reel will reflect your style of camera work also connect with how your photography will add life to the directors vision. This shows you are focusing on character development and story for the audience sake. As a side note, producers are usually hip to the fact that not all cinematographers always get the lighting & camera packages they desire. I have seen stunning images come from the most humble camera and lighting set ups that were not fancy at all. In sum, your reel is very important but so is how you sell your self. my 2 cents worth... Best of luck!
  2. Simply incredible...the more I see footage acquired on the HVX the more I am considering investing in one. Also your choice of lighting ratios seems to be very stark and this helps to show off what range the HVX can handle. Keep up the great work. While a discussion on adapters is probably fit for another forum...in short the M2 is similar to the mini 35 form P+S Technik. Check out the m2 at www.redrockmicro.com
  3. I wish we could see more footage. But then again a little taste does satisfy. Absolutely amazing. Where was this film shot?

    RED

    To the film professionals and aspiring filmmakers: DVXUSER has allowed RED to post dedicated thread on the topic of RED issues. Although DVXUSER is geared toward the pronsumer arena, the RED company continues to concentrate on this market proving that 4k acquisition is affordable to the neophyte filmmaker. Here is the link---enjoy. http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/forumdisplay.php?f=58
  5. Raw and dirty....just like the talent right? lol I defantly see a visual style emerging. Keep up the good work
  6. The extent of my knowledge about the characteristics of motion picture Film (celluloid) has come from reading books and observing working professionals. I have been shooting still photography for years and I am now anxious to learn cinematography. So my "newbie" question is this: Is it possible to outfit a 35mm SLR camera with 35mm motion picture film stock? I do understand that moving picture frames require different skills to handle shutter angle, DoF and so on. However, for right now, I am only interested in exploring how different film stocks react to different lighting scenarios and light values. I want to experiment without the ?motion? properties for right now. I am not going to spend money for an entire roll of film stock. Perhaps a very small spool of short end film will work. Also, if possible how would I compensate for aspect ratio? Perhaps there is a focusing screen made for this very intent. Lastly, using cine lenses are a must. Are there any mounts available that that will attach to a SLR camera? Thank you and I look forward to some feedback. ____________________ Uriah Ocean Peterson uriahocean@netzero.net I have just found a thread on this very topic in an other post.
