I think you defenetly should try ! If you don't, you'll never know what you've missed. Productions are used to it, and if you present yourself nicely, if ever they need someone, you might be the one. I think you should have a little Curricululm vitae with your mobile phone number on it and a...

Well... that's interesting because many students or new filmmakers are often interested into what we call in french the "subjective shot". It is actually a very difficult filming form. The point is : wil the spectator understand the shot the way you want him to ? There's nothing so obvious...

You're welcome. Let us know...

Hi, I guess it's me (Laurent) you're replying to, as I don't see any Louis around here :) ... Ok then , it's an arri torch you have, not LTM. I don't know this torch, but, as your problem seems to only be a powering one, I guess I figured out what you said and try to do. Since you found a...

This is my two cents : don't in anycase overexpose the green background, keep it beetween -1/2 stop and keylight. If you want to lower the "spill" in the hair, you can backlight with some minus green gel on the sources. Don't put the actors to close to the green screen is an advice of very great...

What you've seen must have been a 125/200 w HMI torch, that is designed for being supplied either on mains or battery. It has 2 different little ballasts according to the supply you work with. I don't know much about other devices in this range of power (though there certainly are...) The one I...

For the camera, I guess you mean 535 instead of 353...

IMDB get their informations, I don't know where from... I mean, if you're credited for a major film at a major job, you'd get "in"... I've got many friends (including myself) who weren't credited on some films (whatever job they would have got) you don't know why. Sometimes you'd see a film for...

Sorry, I didn't get any mail notification of your last posts, Danny... In France, I would easily rent this stuff from a light/grip rental.

Can't you just use the possibilities of the site's software for voting ? Any way,I think it's a big job to find the money ! Good luck ! People from all over the world could propose sponsors from their countries as well may be ?

I think the idea is excellent. I was involved in a short films competition as jury and dop as the rewards where filmed and on air on sattelite TPS french tv. (when I was still in Paris) It was the first edition of "lutins du court métrage". They are now by the fith edition I guess. I think...

I see that english/american people use more fc (footcandle) for measuring lumination. 1 fc is about 10 lux

about vertov's (my point of view) : He was an editor, working with eisenstein. He built up a "manifest" , called somehow " glass-film" : the principle was : you make no directing, put the camera here or there and shoot, with no intentions. "Cinéma-vérité". But, as he was experimenting editing...

I dont know about this one, but on main "broadcast cameras", you have a way to manually take the tape out. There usualy is a screw you turn (usually an arrow shos what direction, nearby), that makes the ejection process to mechanically occure...

Well, may be it would be a good idea you to ask this question in the "lighting" section, because you would get answers of different advised people there. What I can quickly say about your questions : When we work on film, we make measures as to figure out where the different things on the set...

If you have a tracking shot from a truck you need a driver, sure. But for what about the rigs and camera fixing, it's defenetly a grip you need. I wonder if Danny saw my mistake and corrections...

Then if it's the case, there are ways to make your image closer to film look at the shoot. (and then make easier the post) : You can use diffusion filters (make tests) Most digital cameras have a "filmlike" matrix parameter You can light in a way it enters the sensitometric caracteristics of...

I love the kubrick's Lolita opening scene where he plays so well with mirrors

Dedolights are very common light setup. I think they are made in europe, but i'm not too shure. I think you could get them from a light dealer. As they are mostly common in still photography, one should try a still photography materials dealer. May be one could find ones on ebay ?

For what about lighting, it's about the same... If you want to see the face in the mirror it's not always possible to light it from behind. You usually don't have the room for a projector. Putting one on top is not very nice... The trick is to use the mirror itself as well to light the face. so...
