[Harcharan] “just missed out..Will Sony XDCAM 350 give me a decent result for a 355mm blowup….”
That’s a question for a film lab. May labs will test new cameras as they come on the market to see what the characteristics are when transferred to film. If you speak to some labs, you may be able to arrange a screening comparing some of the cameras that you’re considering.
Also, be aware that every lab has its own way of doing things, and a particular lab may do a better job with a particular camera or format. It’s worth speaking to labs in depth about this very early in preproduction.
Du Art in New York runs a regular screening program for film makers to view transfers to 35mm from different digital cameras. It’s well worth attending a few of these screenings, since you need to learn how to look at the material over time.

[David Roth Weiss] “BTW, I saw a 2007 Mercedes Benz McClaren 722… it will probably get you from point A to point B a bit quicker than a $20,000 Prius, but is it really necessary?”
Well, in rush hour traffic in Manhattan, the Mercedes and the go the same speed.

This attaches directly to one computer. That’s it. You could use that computer as a server on your network, but that’s still not a SAN.

Because FCP doesn’t work with MIDI. It only works with Mackie Control Protocol for control survaces.

[AndersT] “I just got a Black Magic Intensity card, and are monitoring the video through HDMI. My active, digital speakers are connected to the standard optical output of the Mac Pro (Digital Out).”
Your speakers & your video monitor should always be connected to the same source. Consult your FCP manual & manual that came with your Intensity card to see how to best connect your speakers to the card.

HDV, by definition, does not create 1 frame of video. It creates a group of frames. Even if you could find an intervalometer for your camera, it would shoot something like 15 frames or more for each interval.
You may want to use a digital still camera for this. Or you could use a Sony PDW-F350 or Panasonic HVX-200. Both cameras have built-in intervalometers that will record single frames.

I think that Bob was referring to set-top game boxes, like X-box or Playstation. Most computer graphics cards do not have any kind of video output.

[David Roth Weiss] “BTW, one of my secrets to “post without the usual insanity” happens to be The Creative Cow.”
This is my secret, too.:) My clients think I’m a genius because I know how to fix problems they create with bad setups & workflows just like the ones other people post to the Cow about.

If you have the SD lens already, why not test it & see if you like the look? The softer look may of the SD lens may work out well with as an “artistic” option.
