Re: Moving to DSLR

Also, depending on your usage, the 70-200 may not be quite as useful as you think. We own a copy, and since we got out of event videography, it tends to gather dust. We have a 24-70 and an 85 f1.8...

Re: Moving to DSLR

Just my 2 cents, but I'd take a long, hard look at the Tokina 11-16 for your wide. Here's a good discussion with people weighing in on both sides:

Re: Heavy green screen in music video

Yes, Jenny and Tyler were happy with the video. They were very open to the whole thing and easy to work with, which made the experimentation less stressful. We're usually pretty open with people, and...

Re: Heavy green screen in music video

Thanks, Ron. As far as expenses go, it was pretty much a couple of tanks of helium, a package of balloons and a package of Chinese lanterns. We called in a few favors for locations. I think we spent...

Exporting specs for broadcast: I need a lot of help.

Long story short: An indie music video I shot and edited is getting picked up by CMT's sister station, Pure Country. Exciting little moment for us – until I got the spec sheet from

Re: Has anyone tried and tested this cheap slider?

I just ordered a Konova slider today after a good bit of angst and research. $329! I do think you get what you pay for in one way or another, but even if this thing only lasts a year or two, I will...

Re: Suggested decibel levels?

Thanks, guys, very helpful. What about videos that live solely on the web? Would that have similar or different guidelines? That's most of what I do (although I do deliver on DVDs from time to time).

Suggested decibel levels?

Quick question, and since I edit in Pr CS5, I figured this was as good a place as any to pose it:

Do you guys have rules of thumb for decibel levels for voice, background music, consistent white...

Re: Feature Film on Shot on the Canon 7D

Gerry,

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm not sure there's anything you'd teach that wouldn't help me in some way. Everything you just mentioned would be helpful. I'm still learning how to use curves...

Re: How do I turn video into 8-bit (Nintendo)-type graphics?

Sweet, that gives me a few good places to start. I'm editing on the CS5 suite, but I've got an old FCP 5 laying around if anything is easier/more useful there. I'll be using Canon 7D footage, but I...
