Welcome to these boards, then !

Vigor, May I just make a couple of internet related suggestions ? I typed in your name in google and imdb and non of these gave me any result. In nowadays, I think that fixing that up may help you as well. - Make as your site be seen by google - register in imdb and submit your films as AC...

Sory if I'm late on this... I like Morgan's answer, that sounds very good to me as well as documented. I just wanted to add that it's called "classical" since another "point of view" has been developped about composition. This "modern" POV (as opposed to the "classical" one) considers that...

Dollys like Panther, Chapmans etc. allow to travel down and up as well as on the tracks. Also, they offer the possibility for the operator and AC to travel on seats as well as the column. Hope it answers your question. Regards.

The close focus lens allows you to focus at very close distances. There should not be much difference when focusing at "normal" distances, such as 8 feet away. The close focus lens is certainy more expensive to buy or rent, BTW. Regards

Do you or any body could tell us more about them ? Kim, You see, I think the in camera matrix can look seducing, but, on a set, it's a lot of time (waste ?) to use them as much as you think of. Usually, the matrix are used a bit more a "light way" : global settings for a scene. More precise...

BTW, this camera is based on the "P2" system, I've heard many criticism about that...

I was talking of renting a professional camera, my self, real HD, not a prosumer camera... Sony 750, etc.

You could also save money and rent a high end camera, that would give you 24 P HD...

One of the camera tech at Panavision Marseille tells me he has seen a 35 mm positive made from a Genesis HD footage, he says it really looks like being shot in 35 mm ! Also, the Vyper is now on 10 minutes tapes (no more HDD)...

We do it after each shot. That is after the number of required takes so that the directors says "ok , let's wrap to the next shot". Before we change of setup/shot we check the gate. If there is a problem, then we re-shoot the shot.

Ok, ladies and gentlemen, let's try to make things clear. When you heat a piece of iron, it first gets red, and, as long as you keep heating it, ie give more and more energy to it, it becomes "white", OK ? That is, actually because, the more you heat it, the more energy you give it, the more...

These built-in light meters are like still photo ones. They analyse the average light through the lens. It can give a good basic in many cases, but won't good enough for many other cases... As it gives a mean value, you might be underexposed if shooting outside, someone behind who is the sky...

Also, don't forget most of the projectors on the planet are in countries where one can't imagine replacing them by digital ones. Far too expensive ! Also there is still not one standard system all over the world but 2 or 3 of them...

Yes we do. But we actually can also check from inside the camera as well. If it's a "quick load" magazine (arri sr, aaton), we take off the mag and inspect the stock along the loop, or, on other cameras, we would take the sprocket and mecanism off the gate and look at it. But, personaly, I...

Just to mention the fact that IMAX is 70 mm in projection, but the cameras that are used for 70 mm projection are 65 mm. The difference beetween the shooting format and the projection format is the soundtrack that you don't have on the camera negative. For 35 mm standard formats, you don't...

Hi, The film industry is not going so well here, and it's not easy to break in... What job are you thinking of ? Neither your profile nor signature let us know what you do personnaly... There's about 150 french films produced each years. You don't have such production companies as...

I think it's quite good for a student's work, myself, actually ! Mainly the directing/editing is good and so is cinematography. Good job ! Sure, there would be a few things one could criticise : The steadicam shots "float" sometimes. Especially the shot around the car in the beginnig is a...

Please, don't cross link. Find the best section for your post and delete the useless ones, thanks !

1) an SLR camera is a good starting point for anyone who's interested into image. A 35 mm SLR would be very close to a 35 mm movie camera for what is about angel of view/focal lengths. Shooting negative film instead of shooting reversal (slides) would allow you to have very good quality paper...
