hey im looking for a decently priced miniDV camcorder for my brother. doesnt have to be top of the line. id prefer to get him one that has a progressive scan instead of interlaced. i was looking around on the canon site and i noticed they dont even specify if their cameras have it (i looked at the G...

this was shot on a gl2, not sure what song it was cause my friend edited this time

to make a 3d film without losing colors (stupid red/green glasses and stuff) you need several polarizing filters. after you have your two videos (left and right camera to make it 3d) you need to project them simultaneously onto a screen with two separate projectors. the left projector has a polarizi...

not too much of a special effect but still looks cool

thankyou verymuch insert_coin. that helps alot!. i couldnt really put my finger on it.

MAYA 6 ALL THE WAY!

ive been hooked on premiere for a while now but im probably ganna switch to vegas. first of all, premiere has a crapload of bugs in it when running windows XP and it crashes a whole lot while exporting (especially in xp)

if burnable jeeps are hard to find, put some time into building a decently sized model of it (about 1+ meter long). spray paint it n everyting. try to make it out of slow burning materials like wood so it doesnt look like its a cheap cardboard model. and as always, slow down the footage to make it l...

no really its my b. i went out of the room for a few mins and my roommate wrote all that stuff. sorry bout the confusion guys!

my b

got it from? turbosquid. i rendered it in maya. ive already tested it out with thw clip and it looks great. il post it up when im done

im from the boston MA area. yea i see what you mean about the license plate. its actually too reflective but i dont crare too much cause the car is ganna be a blur anyways.

I3lade203...you know what...your f.ucking gay name is pi.ssing me off. ffs (for f ucks sake, for all you nubs out threre) use LETTERS. Your are not "leet" at all, if you wanna be "leet" then use numbers in spmething more useful other than a damn account name... PS. oh and please ...

ive been working on a car crash scene for a little clip. what do ya think bout the model?

boujou can be used to do that... its a matchmoving program but can also be used to "scan in" 3D objects/scenes using regular camera footage. it doesnt create an actual object but it does give you hundreds of 3D points to work with btw im ganna do a test with that sometime soon so il post i...

well not really.. i know that focus length determines the field of view of the camera. i just need to be able to find out what my camera's focus length is

how do i find out the focus length of my camera? i have a GL2 and i need to input the focus length into a matchmoving program. i checked the specs at the canon website and it says 4ish mm. thats really small and my matchmoving results come out all wrong. btw im using Boujou 2.1 ps. what exactly is f...

long live the pointless smoking thread

haha wow this is fun to read... you guys are pathetic

im trying out their demo and i cant seem to be able to tell it what the X-Z plane is, the apply button is always greyed out

as some of you may know, an easy way to insert CG into a scene is by using tracking software like in 3D max. but in order to do that, you need to put down tracking points everywhere so the software can figure out any camera movement in the scene. the issue i am trying to address is that each point's...

youre lucky cause i did the same thing for one of my projects! all you have to do is... 1. take the frame that you want to zoom in on 2. open it up in something like photoshop or photoimpact and use the 'posterize' effect (the one that reduces the amount of colors in the image) make it black and whi...

i recently upgraded from premiere 6.5 to 7.0 and for some reason when i try to export my film it takes a reallly long time. what normally would take 2 hours in 6.5 takes 20+ hours in premiere 7.0. i need it done by the end of the week so please help out!

i've seen a few non-interlaced shows lately. a good example is CSI. im almost positive that its not interlaced cause theres much less blurring when stuff moves; you see the frames instead. hard to explain, see it for yourself. usually when it says something like "brought to you digitally by COM...

it plays fine on my computer. the problem is on the dvd player (which is infact svcd compatible) if it matters, the resolution of the movie when i opened it with ulead dvd workshop was 480X320. it also wasnt just the video that was stretched out, the menu and everything was also stretched out i also...
