    built in light metre?

    Yes, it's basically an reflective reading whereas a light meter you're talking about is an incident. Personally, you're going to need both. I'm really amazed you find this hard to believe, a good deal of the old 8mm and super 8 cameras have a built in TTL light meter or one of some sort. But...

    Creating a Professional Film with a single CCD MiniDV Cam?

    Dead Wrong. Tarnation.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0390538/ He used everything from 8mm, Super 8 film to Hi-8/DV video and all edited using iMovie. Really, it's not that big of a deal. Of course this wasn't originally set to be a professional movie but it's earned a huge profit for the $200 it...

    How to gain the movie rights to a book?

    Same goes for michael Crichton himself. Runaway anyone? I shouldn't say that it's not that bad for the time and Tom Selleck is good. But Gene Simmons as super evil genius?

    Filmmaker Showcase - THE DUEL

    I agree with the last posts. It's a good first outting and loved the idea of the clock and sound but otherwise, it was really nothing and too simple. There was nothing expressed or shown or anything the description on IMDB said. The only thing that annoyed me more was the use of the word "film"...

    I have similar problem on PC with Premiere pro (7.0) and AE 6.5 like usually export from PP as .avi then into AE and out as .avi but it gets blocky, like it's been compressed doubled. I've opened a PP file right into AE but still had bad time with compression. Any tips what should renderas?

    Time Travel short...

    I thought it was another computer? Anyway, this scope is pretty big and you gotta think in terms of visuals since you aren't shooting synch sound.

More like storyboard/word really codes thats easily brought up scenes etc. I think I was 14/15 when I wrote first actual script. Utter sophomoric crap that had one...

    is Hi-8 acceptable to broadcast quality

    Yes Super 8mm which is actually shot on film sometimes runs at a slower framerate, usually 18fps. Most high end Super 8mm cameras have a 24fps option or more (or less). And Most Double/Standard/Regular 8mm film cameras run at 16-18 fps or so.

    Careers in Video/Film

    I think you can do and cross over to whatever you want despite your degree or major. Most films schools have it all to offer, you can for instance be an audio/radio major and still be required to fulfil media arts studies, then after class go off and make a movie with an upperclassman or part...

    Green screen on DV

    Ya Sky Captain was shot on HD, it's interesting because it's a guys first movie and gnerally an independent film. I can't believe no one has mentioned adobe after effects 6.5 pro for compositing, It has a matte choker to get rid of the jagged, some tools to fix poorly lit footage and all sorts...
