I agree Dave! I use a black keyboard, doesn't bother my eyes one bit. (I actually have many different computers, and to be honest, I'm finding that I like the black ones better!) It's a stupid point that I certainly do not agree with, especially having worked as a health and safety consultant coveri...

Yes it is. Look at it this way: you have been using a PC for a long time, which has tangled and contorted your mind into a PC way of thinking, like a ball of spaghetti. Now when you use a mac you need to untangle your mind. Uh, yeah. Just a couple of things: I prefer the the fact that Apple has a f...

Render for web - What are the best settings?

I'm probably going to need to start providing some of my customers dowloadable video from their websites. They will provide the video probably in DVD, so what's the best way of getting it to the web? Is it best to stream, download for viewing, or what? What's the best quality vs. smallest file size?...

At the end of the day, if you are making non-commercial films, simply enjoy the process.

Don't get all hung up over the technicalities. Enjoy what you do, but try and learn as you go along.

Reflection is an important part of film-making when you're starting, and I'm not just talking about lighting!

RE: will my computer accept this type of hard drive

If in doubt, just get a PCI ultra ATA controller card. You could probably pick up one from somewhere like CompUSA for about $20. That sorts out the compatibility problem, and lets you keep your existing drive for storage if you want.
