Re: Picking lenses for camera - 14 years ago
Hello! FYI please move this discussion to the appropriate forum if need be. Thanks!! So here's what we did. We used 2 Canon 7D's with a shoulder mount. We used 3 lenses: 35mm, 50mm and 24-70mm L lenses. We shot 2.5 days. The actors were great. When the final product is finished hopefully it'll be something enjoyable. It was great just doing the camera as opposed to being responsiblby PhillyFilmmaker - Café LA

Audio Sync question - 30p & 24p - 14 years ago
Hello! I have an audio sync question. We're shooting in 30p using the Canon 7D. The audio, we're shooting using external devices. The editor/directors want to eventually convert down to 24p. so, what does the audio have to be recorded as in order to sync properly? yes, it's vague. if I described it all wrong please let me know and I will try to explain to more clear. Thanks!by PhillyFilmmaker - Café LA
What should I export to? - 14 years ago
Hello, I have this footage that I shot in DV on a Canon HV20. So I do my usual thing, I export the movie file and now I'm in a brain freeze. Should I add it as is when I create a dvd using iDVD? Should I put the original sequence in a 4:3 sequence then export to movie file then use that in iDVD? (Giving it the "widescreen" look) I'm pretty sure the folks I'm giving this dvd to havby PhillyFilmmaker - Café LA
Re: Picking lenses for camera - 14 years ago
Here's the beauty of it. I'm one of the DP's. And I have a chance to learn from this project bc everyone involved has a role and we're all learning like say it was in a classroom or something. And in these grand ol' economic times I'm not spending any $$$. Even better, it's not like those 48/72 jobbers where everything has to be done fast like a chickenhead. Visually, I'm thinking of Theby PhillyFilmmaker - Café LA
Picking lenses for camera - 14 years ago
Hello, I have a chance to use the Canon 7D for a project and was looking for info on how cinematographers choose lenses for their projects? The setting is going to be indoors (e.g. basement room type setting) and a few establishing shots outside. That's the basics of it. Let me know if I need to provide more info.by PhillyFilmmaker - Café LA
Re: Monitor for editing - 14 years ago
Cool! Now I have someplace to start. Thanks for the information!by PhillyFilmmaker - Café LA
Re: Monitor for editing - 14 years ago
Actually both. At work, I have a dual monitor setup (20" Apple & 23" apple) with no external monitoring setup. With an Apple Mac Pro. At home, I only have a MacBookPro. So at home, I'd like to eventually build a monitor solution to go with the Macbook Pro or if I add a Mac Pro. At work, I guess I'd like to have a monitoring solution? Would that be correct? At work, the mby PhillyFilmmaker - Café LA
Monitor for editing - 14 years ago
Hello, Does anyone have any recommendations or preferences for monitors for editing? What do you high-end people use? What are the high-end models and then what are the next level down models? Ahh but of course, you can't judge video from a computer monitor so I guess a computer monitor plus a monitor to check the video is the proper solution? So, does that mean that what computer monitby PhillyFilmmaker - Café LA
Our 2009 National Film Challenge Entry - 14 years ago
Yes it's that time of the year again! This is our 2009 national film challenge entry. One thing we tried to do in editing was cut cut cut. I think we could have added more music in there but there wasn't enough time and we had to get it mailed out. Please let me know if there's a problem viewing it. I tested it on two different machines and it looked like it worked. Now on YouTubeby PhillyFilmmaker - Show and Tell
What is the current YouTube format? - 14 years ago
Hello, I'm looking for the best youtube format for a movie file i exported from FCP in DV/NTSC. 720x480 anamorphic. Some or most of the video's i've already posted up there look okay at best and since i forgot what i did i started looking it up again and found too many instructions from pages that looked a few years old.by PhillyFilmmaker - Compressor - Media Compression and Conversion
Your current favorite title font? - 14 years ago
I like Ariel. But I think I use it too much. I'd like to try something different. I tried Impact for a while then went back to Ariel. What's your favorite title font or fonts?by PhillyFilmmaker - Café LA
Re: Audio hookups w/FCP setup - 14 years ago
I thought that the MBox would work but Soundtrack Pro and Garageband don't recognize the box. If there's a driver out there for it to work i'd like to know. lolol. But yes I have snow leopard on the machine so maybe that has something to do with it? I really just want to be able to hook up my KrK V4's to the laptop.by PhillyFilmmaker - Café LA
Re: Audio hookups w/FCP setup - 14 years ago
hahaha in the movie's, anything is possible. I was hoping to still use the equipment I still have to the bitter end. Kind of McGyver it till it was finally time to move on.by PhillyFilmmaker - Café LA

Audio hookups w/FCP setup - 14 years ago
I now have a MacBook Pro 17" with Snow Leopard. I also have an MBox 2 Pro that came with Pro Tools 7.0.4 which I used with a Powerbook 17" and Tiger. Two KRK V4 monitors. I want to use the KRK monitors & the MBox 2 Pro with the MacBookPro but a) Pro tools is old and doesn't work on it. b) ... So basically I want to use my nice KRK's but the MBox2 can't work without ProTools.by PhillyFilmmaker - Café LA
Re: MBox2 Pro with Snow Leopard - 15 years ago
I uninstalled Pro Tools 7.1.3. So, can I still use the MBox 2 Pro with Soundtrack Pro and FCP and Logic 9? If so, how can I get it to see the MBox2?by PhillyFilmmaker - Café LA
MBox2 Pro with Snow Leopard - 15 years ago
Hello, I'm not sure if this question goes to this forum but: I recently got a MacBook Pro w/SnowLeopard and installed Final Cut Studio and Logic Studio. So I installed Pro Tools LE 7. Now, I have to go back and check later if the Pro Tools install worked but for some reason the machine does not recognize the MBox2 Pro. The MBox2Pro has firewire (400). Of course, the MacBook Pro only hby PhillyFilmmaker - Café LA

Re: DVD quality on the web - 15 years ago
Hmmmm so, is Windows Media Player really out of touch now? (in your opinion.)by PhillyFilmmaker - Compressor - Media Compression and Conversion
Re: DVD quality on the web - 15 years ago
LOL I hear ya. I'm trying to figure out a way to explain to this client that the only way he'll get "dvd quality" is to put the dvd in the dvd player because of the limitations of the media format these people can only use right now.by PhillyFilmmaker - Compressor - Media Compression and Conversion
Re: DVD quality on the web - 15 years ago
how about AVI? my only option is to convert it to something that Windows Media Player can play with high quality. and also if possible it needs to look good in full screen. (Yes, this is what the client is asking for.)by PhillyFilmmaker - Compressor - Media Compression and Conversion
