yah, the natress filters have always piqued my interest,

im a big fan of shooting xl2 24p video with the pstechnic mini35mm adapter and real 35mm zeiss superspeed lenses or cook s4 lenses.

discreet combustion also let’s you choose film stocks to add to your video, so you can say, the exact type of film stock you want, so the grains match, etc

go to the apple quicktime trailers site, its pretty amazign what you can put on the net these days.

i think the biggest way to make your video look like film, is to make sure when it is shot, to make sure you get a short depth of field, and that of course, your subject is in focus, and background drops off a lot. then when you add your film effect, it’ll look more like film….of course at this part of post, you can’t aways do it.

here is a link to a short film i helped do post on,

shot on a canon xl1s, no film effects, just smart shooting and color correction in discreet combustion. turned a lot of heads here in boston!

oh, im the inhouse guywho has to figute this out…

i also dont think there are masters..

guffaw, guffaw, guffaw

[Ben Oliver]

or just run it thru a cheapo dv deck..,like a canon camcorder…

then you dont have TC, but if the footage works, the footage works!

no internet access on my edit system?

how else am i supposed to play world of warcraft during long renders, or stay in contact with my guild?

[Ben Oliver]

yeah…its odd.

i am trying to format it, os extended, non journaled. and i do that, and it formats it, but it keeps reverting back to journaled. i triued to turn it off with cocktail, but i can’t copy more than 890 megs onto a the disc (for editing this is bad, of course)

anymore ideas, other than send these drives back?

[Ben Oliver]

ive been trying, i try to format it osx extended not journaled, buyt it reverts it back to journaled….

could it be a jumper setting?

[Ben Oliver]

yeah……if only it were true.

i think they have masters, they just dont want to pay for the digitization of them, cause they alreayd have real files.

its a cluster****

it’ll et figured out. basically they are trying to use files that were perfect for one use, and use them for something completely different, without re-doing the work from scratch.

and of course they need this done in 2 weeks, lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ben Oliver]

i agree 100%

this is one of those things, and i agree its a horrible way of doing it, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do!
