I'll second the vote for the Blackbird. Got it, love it, use it whenever I can. It definitely wouldn't work with the extra gear piled on, though. But if you're looking to run, do you really need a...

What do you charge for promos/music videos?

I know this is a pretty broad question, but I'd just love to see the different takes on this out there. I've started getting "ins" from companies and artists just in the last couple of weeks. They're...

Ryan, forgive my ignorance on this, but why do you shoot music videos at 30p and cinematic work at 24p? Can you direct me to a resource to read up on the advantages of shooting music videos at 30p? I...

Z-Finder necessary?

Also, 1 more question. It'll be an outdoor wedding in mid-afternoon (albeit early fall). I've been looking for an excuse to rent a Z-Finder. Would the 561BHDV + Z-Finder be a totally useless/awkward...

Worth it without the 501?

If I can only afford the 561BHDV and not the 501 (or some other head), is it still worth it for shooting a wedding? We'll have two low-to-medium grade Manfrotto tripods and a Merlin for some...

Final Cut Pro workflow suggestions?

I'd love to hear your workflow or see links to good, thorough tutorials for taking footage from a 7D and into/out of Final Cut. I know there are so many variables, but I just need to beef up on...

What's your favorite rental house?

I'd like to get your rundown on favorite rental houses. Specifically, I'm looking to rent a shoulder mount and viewfinder for my 7D, of some sort. I'm shooting a wedding for a friend, for free. I've...

It's your call

It's up to you. What you've shot here looks great, and I can see why this has netted you a few more requests from musicians. I can't entirely disagree with the people who said it was a tad boring,...

48 Hour Film Shot on 7D

Not to be confused with the NZ 48 Film posted on here recently (which was incredible, by the way. I'd personally love to be confused with them.), my team just finished up our run at Nashville's 48...

Whatever floats your boat

I've tried bracketing and AP, too, with moderate success with both. Bracketing certainly is the bigger time commitment, and I'd shoot JPEGs, personally, to avoid the extra noise in the shadows when...

impressive!

Yeah, for an indie short, that fight scene was pretty awesome. The opening tornado shot was pretty awesome, too. I would love to know how you did that.

Here's my constructive criticism: I thought...

Abes is okay -- if you know what you're getting into

I purchased my 7D from Abes, and have bought from them one or two other times, as well. They're okay -- every time, I got what I wanted. But they'll make you call a customer service rep (read:...

Anyone have experience shooting fireworks?

We're just getting into the DSLR/video game, but we're pretty thrilled with the opportunities. Here was a first crack at figuring out how to best use the thing. It can't hold a candle to some of the...

Cheap or DIY Viewfinders?

Has anyone tried any of the DIY viewfinders on the Web? This is probably beneath most of the professionals on this message board, but I'm trying to decide if I can justify shelling out ~$200 for a...

Thanks for the info

The shoot went okay from a stills perspective. We got out a bit late in the morning and missed the best light. It also got fairly turbulent, and the humidity (combined with Nashville's altitude...
