Another david fincher movie "Panic Room" in the big box set has a great piece on grading as well. Along with other stuff that made my brain bleed when I watched it

nope...windows was copied from apple in the first place...my point was that apple copied it too...but they made it better than what I've seen of the old parc application of the tech and then released it to the public.

didn't watch scooby doo much huh? Not sure, maybe if you shot it just before one of the two golden hours (early morning or evening) as the sun is right below the horizon. You'll get the light from it, but not the brightness.

Yeah, let's get these facts straight, I'll summarize for you (my additions in bold): Widgets > Now there's > Gadgets from Microsoft originally widgets from konfabulator Aqua > Now there's > Aero from Microsoft based around the nextstep interface from next computer, steve job's failed interim compute...

both if possible

The effect you'll probably end up with (depending on where you're shooting etc) is called tenebrism ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenebrism ). The reason you'll get this effect is that the lights you'll be using aren't big enough to light up a whole area effectively for capturing well on camera. Go...

I made this one: http://www.mediachance.com/dvdlab/dof/index.htm And a rail system for it...still not working as the zoom doesn't quite fill the frame with the ... um... frame. Have to get an achromat in a 72mm thread I think

That looks really fun.

ironic considering your sig here

does it come apart easily for transport?

Nice crane! Very epic fotage...the music helps too

no...it's a slow server

no...the competition is 48 hours ( http://www.48hourfilm.com - http://www.48.tv ).

We shot fabulously (really cool looking footage), then fell asleep (literally) on the edit...next year, we'll have more than one editor working together on it to keep each other going. I would've woken him, but I was downstairs shooting. We need to add a second camera just for tape import. We need t...

99% of the population has benefitted from the phone being simple to operate... .01% of the population could build their own... The computer's promis in the 70's and 80's was that it would change the world for the better. 90% of the population is on a PC and don't have the foggiest clue how to operat...

I aspire to be the ordinary safe type that can get paid to make films...the successful auteur directors (kubrik, welles, lynch, waters) are so few and far between (especially now) that I don't think there's a market for the types of films that are produced in an unsafe way. I have kids to feed and a...

My mice all have 2 buttons and have for the past 10 years. I don't use the standard apple mouse, I spent $10 on a crappy USB one...works like a champ. And I get all the same contextual menus you do, I have since OS 8.6 10ish years ago. I couldn't do with out my scroll button...I even carry around a ...

A director is much more of a circus ring master than anything on shoot day...in Pre production, he spends time communicating his vision (dictated from conversations with the producer) to the other departments and approving the look off stuff to fit into the universe he'll be creating. In Post produc...

Find something physical to do that makes sense for the character and the scene...Make a pot of coffee while delivering your lines, whatever. Know your lines back and forth, so you don't have to spend time recalling them in the moment, they just happen...then use them as REACTIONS to events around yo...

wow...too bad I'm old and nerdy ;) Here are my issues...they're all little things. Interfaces between programs are inconsistant. Apple is now guilty of this as well with shake and color, but they are targeting a specific audience who are accustomed to these painful interfaces. To select a line of te...

Sorry, just working at informing folks with questions or misconceptions. Gladly stop anytime. Not a big deal to me. Of course, you don't necessarily have to read it either

Machines locking up? How long ago was that? Sounds more like the OS9 and lower days. OSX hardly locks...I've experienced maybe 10 crashes in the past 5 years under OSX (dating back to developer's preview 4). EA just announced they are moving to simultaneous releases for all of their games and are br...

I am a producer/director/cinematographer currently...I'm working on leaning more toward the DP side of things. I've hooked up with a few good writers. I write well, but couldn't possibly ever finish a script...I don't have that kind of brain. On set, a director shouldn't get a chance to be bored...i...

hehe...so back on topic...what is the actual news about intel...there's no link to any news story or press release at all.

it's in the subtext: Kene says he doesn't prefer macs... you say that's not an ok option...that it's a naive stance (this may have been the point of confusion - depending on its target) Tto be fair, I pointed out that you shouldn't then have a problem with PC's... you reiterate that you do... This e...
