Hello to all....
I have just purchased a dvx100 and I am so stoked.
I have made a few films with a borrowed canon optura 20 ran it through imovie and produced a dvd with idvd. it took alot of tweaking but managed to get really cool results...but now it's onto the big leagues...
here are the questions...
1. most movies that you see that are visually stylized such as lord of the rings...saw...etc etc..do they achieve a part of that look through the settings on the cameras they use and then revamp it in post or do they shoot for best exposure etc and then redo the look of the footage in post?
( i am trying to get a look where the footage is bleached out for example)
2. Like i said i have imovie 4 and idvd4 running on an emac 1.25 512 ram.
I have final cut pro 4 and no other dvd authoring software. I have tried to pull footage into imovie and noticed that even though i shot it in 24pa that the footage looked interlaced when it was outputted. I assume that is the result of imovie.
Final cut pro...is it the choice of all in the mac world...
And as far as dvd is concerned what is the best program?
As a side note I am shooting shorts with the intention of possibly blowing them up to film....
Thanx for the ear....and this forum is awesome...
