As noted, it's not ideal. However, there are plenty of us using LCD TV's and other TV's as monitors. It's not the best, but it's better (when calibrated) than trying to judge who footage...

All of the stage lights are tungsten-based, so they require the tungsten white balance, even if they have colored gels on them. Your process is correct. 3200k-3400k seems like exactly what I would...

Greg,
If you are trying to find out what the ASA for your camera is. Light a gray card, allow the camera to auto-expose the card to 50IRE, and note the F-stop it is using. Then take a reading on...

Steve,
I totally agree with you. I have made films in nearly every aspect ratio (4:3, 16:9, 1.85:1, 2:1, 2.35:1), and each time it was an asthetic choice based on the story. I wouldn't want...

Not really. If you want, you can make a 16:9 and a 4:3 version, and put them on the same disc as separate programs. You would need a menu to allow the user to select which version they...

Dominic,
The ratio is Y:Cb:Cr or Y:U:V. Really has nothing to do with scanlines. 4:2:0 is a special case. See the Wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroma_subsampling) and Adam...

Dominic,
4:2:0 does not imply that there are scanlines with no chroma samples. Each chroma sample relates to a 2x2 block of luma samples.
Regardless, a straight downconvert would look...

How did you shoot your 24p? On which camera, in which mode?
If you shot in 24p Standard, which is a 60i stream with 2:3 pulldown inline, then you can just edit that and your 60i on a 60i...

Oh, boy, we have really hit a turning point, haven't we? Now we've got working 35mm adaptors, and people are trying to figure out how to get deeper depth of field. Interesting turn of events.
