It's all about application. As a cinematographer, I almost always rent lights for shoots. It's way cheaper to rent a handful of great lighting and grip equipment than spend whatever amount on lower...

Now that you mention it, I think the XH-A1 does do that. I remember having that experience a long time ago when I first got my XH-A1 but since I rarely trust the cam's auto settings, I turned it off....

35mm adapters are expensive pieces of gear and they require a lot of technical knowledge to use well, so I'd HIGHLY recommend reading a lot about them and asking many questions before you decide to...

Your import settings (and your sequence settings) should match the settings used to capture the footage. If the footage you shot is 1080p/30p HDV, there's an HDV setting for 1080p footage recorded at...

Yeah seriously thanks for your input. I'm deciding on an HD-field monitor and I'm leaning toward the DP1, now only if I could get that $100 off pre-order price! Point of interest about the DP1's...

And this is with all versions of the monitor? And just to clarify further - this is only a problem that exists in low light situations, right? In other words, if you have adequate set lighting it...

Haha, I don't know about that. I spoke with him on the phone yesterday, he's got a number of features lined up for the next couple years so a Crank 3 is unlikely. Well what is unlikely is that...

I hate to be the pessimist, but it sounds like your camera is broken in some way, shape or form. I own and shoot weddings on an XH-A1 and while I know about the issues you're talking about in your...

I don't think "good" is the way I'd describe the look of Crank 2. I'd say "unique". DP Brandon Trost stated that he was going for a really gritty look, and that is pretty much what he got....

For my company, it really depends on how long the ceremony is. I've shot a number of cultural weddings that traditionally run a lot longer. For instance, a full ceremony for Indian weddings can last...

My HDTV must be getting outdated! Last I checked, most if not all HDTVs still had component cables, and only the higher end ones had HDMI. Sure you're not just missing them somewhere?
