You should be fine recording a TV because they also run at 25fps.

Yes sorry I was referring to 16mm lenses. I should have specified.

There is no one perfect shutter speed or f stop, it's all situational. Get a light meter and it will tell you what f stop to choose. If you really can't stop down your lens for those lights then you have some options. You can put an ND filter on which reduces the amount of light entering the...

Write a bunch of short scripts and make as many as you can. The only way to learn how to make a film is to go out and practice as much as you can. Upload them to the internet and ask people to critique them for you. Then when you get to college you will have experience making many short...

It appears more orange because the temperature the daylight stock is balanced for is greater than the temperature at that hour. So if you use Tungsten stock at that hour it's going to be pretty natural looking but depending on what time a little colder. I've used 500t at around dusk and it...

Prime just refers to a fixed focal length lens usually around 25mm to 35mm. It gives you the perspective pretty close to the human eye. Zoom as you probably know changes in focal length. They usually go from about 18mm-120mm. Zoom lenses have greater depth of field. Wide is pretty much...

Well you have to white balance to the LCD screen you're recording. I've noticed they come off as a little blue. An easy fix would be using an outdoor preset on your camera to match the blue color.

I've been buying in bulk off ebay. Just make sure the film is under ten years old and has been refrigerated. Ask for the dates.

I'd shoot color negative and heres why. You can shoot outdoors and indoors no problem. For color reversal you're going to probably shoot oustide because its 100D. You can get an 80A filter which corrects it for tungsten use but its lowers the ASA to 25 which requires a ton of light. If you...

gate weave gate weave Thats a gate weave. To do that digitally you could keyframe it. I would blow it up a little so the black edges don't show when you shake it back and forth. Keyframe your center and move your clip -3 on the x-axis then move your playhead a few frames right and make a...

I know this is kind of up to me but I'm just looking to gain more knowledge about these different stocks. For my next short film I'm going to be shooting Color Neg 16mm. Its a romance/comedy/drama I guess you could say its a dark romantic comedy. I want it to have a very dramatic and romantic...

You can get this effect by doing some 3 way color correction in post. But you must have your subjects in a darker area as in the still. Correctly expose your subjects leaving the background a bit brighter. Up your whites and mids and pull down your blacks and you will get this kind of...

You heard it from a pro. I'm reading your Cinematography book you did with Malkiewicz. Its a great book. I learned to shoot 16 with it. -Jon

time lapse time lapse Yes video can be a pain but time lapse is possible and easy. All you do is get a tripod and pick a location and record 2 or 3 seconds every 30 to 60 seconds depending how fast you want the motion to be. Then speed it up in post. A lot of 3ccd cameras come with time...

playback playback Try having your camera in playback mode and on when you launch FCP. Sometimes it wont read unless the camera is already on. If that doesn't work I would try a new firewire cable. You could import from any minidv camera if the GL2 continues to not work.

download boris plug ins. I use the film grain plug in as well as noise which comes with fcp. Just search the web for fcp plug ins.

one response one response Heres one response I got for this question. "A digital zoom into the 16:9 area of the 4:3 letterboxed material would take care of it. It's highly suggested to shoot squeeze mode with the DVX over letterbox, with letter box you have to crop/zoom with squeeze it does...

subtitles subtitles I would just use the standard text function and then under the motion tab move it down to the bottom of the screen. I think Yellow is the safest color to use.

audio link audio link Did you make sure the audio/video track link button is pushed down. It should be located above your timeline on the right.
