So the discussion seems to be with compariable footage. I personally would not purchase the FX1 from sony due to the "24p" mode, also called the "Cineframe Mode." I think it would be worth it for the frame rate options and audio features that are provided on the Z1U - it shoots in 24P, 30P...

awesome, I knew I read that somewhere - I just couldn't remember which article it was. $4,900 - is an incredible price - considering what this camera seems capable of - I know JVC is releasing an ENG style HDV camera at some point that has the option of C-Mount lenses - that one is going for...

In response to the questions about what I said. I like Sony HD cameras the only thing that didn't turn me on about the FX1 is the Cineframe feature where it drops every 5th frame to equal and 24fps feature, this is resolved in the Z1U. As far as the 3 chips verses the 1 chip and the...

USC - UCLA A newer one that is pretty good is Azusa Pacific University - Roy Wagner mentions Biola a lot. For non accredited film schools - I have heard good stuff about LA Film School and the New York Film Academy

Has anyone seen anything for the new Sony HDV camera? There is a consumer version that, to me, seems overly priced for its capabilities compared to the JVC HDV camera. Anyway, the new camera by sony that is going to be released in February 2005 seems to be an awesome new tool. I have been...

A suggestion on how to solve this argument: Get a book and read all about the technical aspects of the two mediums and the history of why they are the way they are. A quick thought, shooting 70mm at 60fps would be freakin' expensive hence why films show each of the 24fps twice. Again video is...

like the reason for why film was set to the 24fps standard, the development of sound, NTSC was developed for similar reason - broadcast frequency. The whole NTSC deal and PAL deal has to do with the frequency standards that were set for television. Now with the development of different...

I suppose it is somewhat right but you are still recording images with a CCD in either NTSC or PAL format at least on a SD camera and on HD a 1080p/i or 720p/i. Either way the native footage is being recorded on to Video Tape (The Camera Original) key word being Video Tape - so yes it is video...

you want a film look then shoot film :-) All you get with 24p is Really good video.

Children aren't as difficult to work with as you may think. I have been on sets where the children get their parts nailed and in the can before the adult actors do and they are often more believable then the adult actors. Children are not the problem often times it is how you comunicate with...

There were a lot of things that I did not like about the camera. Let's start with the image functions. The camera has the option to shoot in DV mode SD mode and HD mode. What is nice is that the chip is a 16:9 chip or the native aspect ratio for HD is 16:9. The camera has a few issues with...

I have found out more about the Kodak demonstration that was at the workshop. The film was obviously down converted to HD, it has much high resolution than HD - for example the typical scan from film that is the highest resolution is a 4k scan, the second is a 2k scan which is 1/4 the size of...

I have never directed child actors before but have been able to see some friends of mine work with kids and have seen what works and what doesn't work. Remember that kids don't have the philosophical intelegence that we do at our age, although I believe they have an ability to understand things...

I have a comment on the Kodak presentation. I thought their tests were rather helpful. I was able to see the limits of DV (specificialy the DVX100A) and noticed that for low budget it is very viable. It is also helpful to see the differences between film and video, video looked like good...

First of all my ideal production setup would to have over $100 million to make the movie. Then, I would want to use super 35 and shoot anamorphic (2.35:1). But most importantly, Above all, nothing can beat this. Some one to produce and let me focus on just directing - have every crew position...

I hate to burst a lot of peoples bubble with the whole technology thing but there is no way that you can out do technology advancements. If you wait for the new one to come out then by the time it does you will be waiting for the next one. The story thing, whatever tool you can use that best...

I've heard or read a lot about this camera as well as looked at it once, at the workship. For the design they've added a shoulder pad that comes standard on the camera, I believe that you had to get it as an accessorey before. They made xlr inputs standard, those too you had to hook up a...

What are peoples thoughts on the book Directing Feature Films that is available in the Studentfilmmakers store? It appears to be a rather good tool for communication techniques and developing an artistic vision, but I thought I'd ask to see if someone had taken a look at it and recommended it...

I'll have to check that book out. As far as your other comments, I don't see any thing wrong with not liking your own work. The resoning behind what I don't like about my stuff is that I have learned so much from the project that I can see where I screwed up and what I will need to do to fix...

Hello, I am an aspiring director with hopes of doing something I am not entirely embarased to show people. I guess I just happen to be someone who hates everything they do. Well anyway, to my point. I am looking for a book of some sort that covers directing, not so much directing actors - I...
