I`ll try to :) I think it is not so risky than in Ukraine. (truly, we don`t have "the situation" at all. Our cinema is totally dead). That`s why I want to "break through"... I think a guy from Ukraine can achieve success in Hollywood, because "Ukraine" is a popular word nowadays. For example, It was mentioned twice in "War of the Worlds".

I want to make a softbox and I have some questions: - which materials to use? - which lamps to use?

I have a target to apply there. What do you think about it? Could I have enough knowledge to shot good films and get money from it after graduating from USC (Film Production Faculty)?

The best variant is VGIK

Video. Thank for the formula! I`ll try to deal with water somehow...

For example, I need to shoot a scene, where a war ship is drowning. I have a miniature 1:10 How should I shoot it to look realistic?

I`d like to shoot films like "Saving private Ryan", "Equilibrium", "Black Hawk Dawn", "Pearl Harbor" (M. Bay) I don`t want to shoot films where people are only talking about their life, discussing phylosophies and thats all. Film is a drama. Drama is action. That`s why the film MUST be action (not as a genre). There must be an action RIGHT NOW in the film... That`s my view.

Thank you for a link! I`m checking ot right now. You will be very surprised, but it is really hard to find these cameras in Ukraine. We even don`t have specializes shops... Otherwise, I`ll try to deal with it. I can say that I am not a newbee in photography. If you want, I can show you some of them...

Thanks! And what lense can you advice me to serach?

Thanks a lot for your answer!

Yes, I know that. I`ve said "tape", because I didn`t know how to say it in other way (please, mention that english is not my native language ;) ) I found out that K3 uses 30 meters cassettes. So, what is the price of that cassettes?

Thanks a lot for the info! I`ve decided to start with K-3 (It`s easy to find it in Ukraine, especially in Kyiv). I think I could even shot music videos on it, bexause I don`t need sound from the shootings... Another question: What is the price of one tape cassette for K-3?

Thanks a lot! The next questions are: 1. What is the difference beetween 16mm and super 16mm cameras? Can I see the example (some shots) of their work? 2. Now I work (as a director and cameraman) with digital camera. I want to start working with tape. I`ve decided to choose 16mm or super 16mm. What can you advice me as the begginig of my "tape" career? And what is the price of that type`s cameras?

1. I`ve heard the word "Arri" many times. But what is it? 2. What is the common type of cameras used to make professional music videos? PS. If there are some e-books about making music videos, please post the link to them.

You can use even MiniDV cameras if you want. THe main idea of music videos is editing and interesting kind of shooting (strange lights, for example). If you`re talking about rap videos, then you need to feel the genre. Uh, I can`t expain it with words... You`d better watch Jay Z "La La La" music video. Or 50 Cent "Candy Shop". I think they are ideal for rap music videos.
