I had to pick some up for a low budget shoot recently, as I recall I got a 50 ft (or yard) roll for something like $7.

Nothing wrong with Visqueen, we use it on the biggest sets! You can pick up a variation of it at Home Depot etc., very inexpensive. Duvetyne can allow light to bleed through whereas Visqueen will...

That's an interesting way to put it! There's no performance issue with the gear, it's the inherent difficulty of pulling focus in a shallow depth of field environment that makes this more of a human...

Having used the pre-release 1D's, I can confirm that the live image is reduced in size, similar to the 7D. And like that camera (and unlike the 5D), it doesn't switch display dimensions when...

That's funny Cole, for all the whip pans I've done in my career, I've never had the "luxury" of reversing the second one (it's a great idea though--just don't think it's ever come up)! Might have to...

I think so, but only if it is appropriate to the style of the scene. In the middle of sedentary dialogue it might stick out, but if the camera is already quite active, as it was in the scene towards...

What I have been seeing a lot of on set, particularly on the 1 hour prime time dramas (procedurals etc) is that the primary cameras are generally still the "big ones": Genesis, F23/35, D21 as well as...

This is a quest along the lines of the old riddle "how long is a piece of string"?

Of course you can shoot with a 35mm adaptor on a stabilizer without pulling focus. You have to use a lens that is...

Jib shoots shouldn't need smoothing out unless there is a problem with the jib or the head on the jib (if applicable).

There's not much to be gained by adding a stabilizer onto a jib that...
