    Stupid Question about stops

    The f number is the focal legth of the lens divided by the diameter of the pupil. So, the larger the f number, the smaller the diameter, and, therefore, less light gets through. Considering that the pupil is two-dimensional, to let twice as much light through, the diameter must increase by a...

    Editing on two vcr's

    Well, when I was a kid . . . . the VCR was not invented yet. So my editing consisted of cutting the 8mm film, brushing some liquid acetone-based glue at its end, and pasting it to the other section of the film. Yep, my fingers were always messy with that acetone thing. It smelled nice, though...

    Editing on two vcr's

    VCRs? Every time you copy from a VCR to a VCR, you lose something. It is better to digitize it all and edit it on the computer. All you need to digitize it is get a TV card for your computer, one of those that lets you plug the output of your VCR as an input to the card, and lets you save it...

    Inserting Flash Video into a Website

    You convert the video to the .swf format, which is Flash Video for the web. You upload the file to your web site. You create an HTML page, in which you include an <embed> tag. For a very simple example, take a look at this page and examine its HTML source. The section of the HTML source that...

    Rescuing Video from DVDs

    Yes, Vegas will import it directly from the DVD, but I think it is PC only. As I said, renaming the VOB may or may not work (for the reasons you mentioned). But, if I did not have Vegas, renaming a VOB file would be the first thing I would try. Because if it does work, you do not need anything...

    Rescuing Video from DVDs

    Re: Rescuing Video from DVDs Then what's the problem? If the disc is not copy protected, you do not need to "rip" it, you just copy the files from the disc to your hard drive. At least on a PC (I know nothing about the Mac, other than I would not want one even if someone wanted to give it to me...

    Re: Help me! I starting a post-production company.... The most important thing you need for a Hollywood-level company is tons of experience. You also need a business plan and good management skills. In addition to a business plan, you will need a portfolio, so you can show your prospective...

    just got an azden shotgun mic but.....

    It sounds like you need an adapter that will send the mono sound to both channels. If you are in the US, I would suggest that you call 1-800-222-4700, which is Sweetwater. I use them for all my audio needs, and in fact discovered them when I was looking for a cable, and they were the only store...

    question about using a photograph of a celebrity in a film

    That depends. Did you take those pictures at a public place? If so, you probably can use them. If not, then you need the permission of whoever took the pictures (copyright). Additionally, if they were not taken in a public place, you probably need their (or their heirs') permission (model...

    Mixed Lighting

    I would do a few test shots first. Just film the scenes (without the actors) with different exposures and compare the results, then choose whichever worked best for the actual performance. And even after that I might shoot the scene several times with different exposures and pick the one that...

    "No Talking Please!"- Produced by Frontline Pictur

    I liked it. There was only one thing that confused me. At least in part 1. When I first saw Dennis, I thought he was George. They are both of the same age, both have the same basic physique, even dressed pretty much the same, so they were at times hard to tell apart. Perhaps it is because of...
