Re: Need help with a shot
Mmmmm--doesn't quite make sense they way you are describing it. Cold is cold, warm is warm. Do you mean that you want the exterior to play cold and the interior warm...?
As far as shooting this at...

Re: Cool Lights Tungsten fresnels... any opinions?
I'll let someone else chime in on the Cool Lights specifically, but the difference between fresnels and open face lights like the Lowels is a separate question. If you intend to play the units direct...

Re: Hard time with 'plastic looking' skintones
After a lot of time with the Canon DSLR's, I came to the conclusion that both the 7D and 1D are more prone to this phenomenon than the 5D.
Best ways to avoid this, in my unscientific experience:

Re: Booking agents for DP/Videographers?
Contrary to popular belief, below-the-line agents don't generally find their clients work. Their job is to handle the negotiations more than anything else. I avoided signing with one in my Steadicam...

Re: AB Diconic battery question
AB suggests leaving them on the charger fulltime. I will admit that I did not do this nor any other kind of maintenance (discharge/charge etc) with my first set of Dionics, and they lasted a solid...

Re: AB Diconic battery question
5.5 lbs for the 100 vs 1.8 for the 90...weight is the primary reason that the Lithium batteries have become popular. They definitely have their drawbacks (life cycle and length of service issues).

Re: Act of Valor movie shot on 5D
I get motion sickness in the back of a van, so I was very concerned. I went with the Scopalamine patch and was perfectly fine out at sea, while others suffered a bit.

Re: Act of Valor movie shot on 5D
It wasn't shot entirely on the 5D. The original plan was to shoot just the ops on the 5D and the rest on 35mm--by the end of the shoot Shane was doing more and more on the 5D's but there's still...

Re: Canon 5D Versus Red Scarlet for Filmmaking
Silas, I can barely recall not having an AC on a given shoot--maybe 2/3" SD video jobs back in the day. Again, once you have a remote focus system, it seems silly not to use it. The live TV guys tend...

Re: Canon 5D Versus Red Scarlet for Filmmaking
Just to clarify, I have retired from Steadicam--now I'm telling my guys to "strap it on"!
The short answer is yes, always a focus puller. Nearly every shot on that reel is 35mm originated (very...
