say i have a xl1 should I buy a contrast filter and have it on all the way through the shoot so it gives it a different look.

surely if you cant change that in post, overwise why are there filters for sale??

I was wondering why is plaster of paris called that whats with the paris??

Is fine casting plaster the same as plaster of paris??

where do you got your clay/plaster/latex from in the UK??

Adobe Premiere Pro 7 Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 why is one better then the other? As i've got Pinnicale DV i was going to cross over to Adobe because I hear so much about it. A question with Pinnicale it come with cds also a card off ebay adobe seems only to comewith cds so do you need a card with adobe?

the best one i have ever watched was Paridise Island on Channel 5 on UK TV.

Best UK one has to be Big Brother. I did like the USA apprentice apart from the end it looked so scripted.

here is my list of books and dvds.

oh go on retype it

ive had a look at sennheisers and there 200+ quid, I also been told you can sack off an run it thought a SQN but there 800 quid.


Is there any other good mics out there or should i just stick to shotgun mic.


What software where u running on Epsion from your laptop.

HD as in DVX 100a? i think thats the camcorda anyway i know im going to get my head bit off but what is the differents between that camcorda and XL1, they both have 3 CCDs, but i hear DVX looks more like film. but they both shoot at 24p NSTC versions. thanks

no man the XL1 needs a adaptor.
anyway what do you use??

hi I hear you should have mixer, dats, booms and sennheisers all of them, but as the budgets low, how could you get around buying loads of equipment. Say its for a XL1, id need a ADR adapter first? right? so i can plug in a ADR connector cable. Could i just not plug a sennheiser right in to it.? als...

I get emails saying shot your film on 35mm or 16mm or just film man!, but it costs too much, after watching American Movie I had a look around for Bolex and saw you can get a cheap one for 100 pounds compered to the ARRI SR1 or 2 which is like 4k to hire one. But then again film it self is expencive...

full title is "American Moive - making of the Northwest" didnt see the last castle last night. it just blow me away i read if you dont know the film its about a guy in det, family sepirated, three kids, hes on drink and mates on drugs. I thought it was a fake doc but it was real. About him...

saw it last night on BBC2, and it was mint,

what you think of it?

Cant explain it really, it gives you hope and inspriation.

in UK we dont have orange things on the end of airsoft guns, at least on my Gat it dont, although it is highly illegal and you can go to jail if you walk aroundwith one, but its ok to shoot them in the back garden, and you can shoot piegons, squrrials, rats, mice cos there all counted as pests.

ok i'll put on some refersees, but some of the stuff was stolen from stolen sites if u get me, so its gone down a line of sites.

buy red power paint find it in pounds shops or children shops, then grinde it into power if its in block form. you got your red and your puff.

I dont think blood goes puff more splatter .

thts what im doing wrong, im sure i read some where plan and plan and plan, but after watchin behind the scenes of terminator and evil dead 3 yeah they only do complcated scenes. So thats why i have a wall full of storyboards. cheers.

hi ive drawed about 500 storyboards and making a list by sticking them all togeather so it a kinda animation or comic so i know what i need and what missing the only trouble is i've been sticking them together as ive wrote my script and id say out off the 500 drawing there is only about 5 pages of s...

I watched a travel program "hotel" there in Japan on a train so what happens there if theres a hundred of them?

so in UK no form is needed ok. thanks

does anyone know anything about if you film some one on the street have you got to get them to sign a permition form saying you can use there face in a dvd?

how did the Premiere go?

Yep i've sold about 50 of them in the first month, check my profile on ebay theres about another 10 people buying them. where you from in UK?

looking on ebay for a Xl1 or PD150 and i see in USA they are cheaper but as im from UK everything over here is PAL so does it matter which i get or am i going to find if i get NTSC it will end up being more hassle.
