I have been very happy with my Panasonic minDV. Any of the other storage formats will be a crappy compramise. You may start out with a higher resolution but because you then have to compress, it will introduce compression artifacts. The MPEG based compressions are not very good for editing because t...

Its allways worth taking a reference photograph with a decent stills camera so that you can use it later for colour correction.

RE: subtitles?

The DVD version of Hollow Point is available with Subtitles. I added them using Adobe Encore. It was very time consuming to do, firstly the dialogue needed to be transcribed and then the precise timings had to be adjusted down to the nearest frame to make them appear correct when being shown.

RE: big problem with nero!

Moved at your request.

Dis you use Nero to convert your footage into MPEG1 VCD Format ?
I found better results using a standalone or built into the NLE eg Premiere

Allthough the ID itself may not be illegal, trying to us it i.e. deception is illegal in both the US and the UK.

RE: Greenscreen fall

I would zoom out towards the end of the clip to give more feeling of falling. It feels to much like the background is moving rather than the person.

RE: Climbing Speed in Premiere Pro

It can be done in premiere pro but you do have to cut the footage into chuncks during the speed change. Unforuntately you cannot key frame the speed of footage. In Hollow Point I did this when with a reverse effect to give the impression of a jog-shuttle tape recorder firstly slowing down forwards a...
