Keep in mind that some of the cheapest solutions (and some of the more expensive ones) nominally require a license to operate.

Funny post Denis...

F-stops became T-stops when the photography world collided with the film industry. T-stops (T is for transmission) indicate the actual, measured transmission of the individual...

I'll pass on an operating tip from a similar device: the gearhead. The trick to achieving consistent turns is to rotate your hand from your wrist while working the crank, rather than using your whole...

Enzo:

Agreed on the Flyer arm, it does have a similar feel to the Pro arm, doesn't it? Amazing considering the size and simplicity of design. Incidentally I had mine modified so that it is...

Don't think we were talking about reality, but about the cinematic look that we have all grown up with. We certainly don't see anything like 24p; 60i is much closer to human perception but few want...

I too use lensers on stands more often than not, but of course these are of limited use for dolly shots. And of course hard mattes are a good start but may not be able to get everything (and talk...

In natural light or toplit (aka TV studio style) sets, probably. In a feature/commercial/narrative environment, it's quite possible to have edge lights that would do their damage below the reach of...

I was only there for a couple of hours, I think they shot for probably six.

I liked the editing also. Kept things moving and playful but not overly quick-cut. I'm not personally a fan of having...

This is, as we say, a sticky wicket.

The 7D has roughly the same image size as 35mm cine. For 30+ years, it has been a given that to do Steadicam on a 35mm project, you have to have an assistant...

I think Jeff has a point. While the editing is fast-paced, there's something about the rhythm that does feel off. In some instances you have extraneous shots, such as the doctor...
