    A few years ago Monty Python had a skit about a British invention that was sure to overwhelm the Germans in WWII. It was a joke that could kill from 400 feet. Several teams of Brits worked on just one part of the joke so as not to be exposed to the total thing.

    I predict that Panasonic will announce a 16gig P2 card in a manner not too different from the joke that could kill from 400 feet, I think they will call it the fainting room. You enter to see a small stage with a LV show girl standing ready to put on a show. The room is filled with lush leather furniture, everyone sits and the girl walks from stage right to left holding a large card which announces the new 16gig P2 card, as she gets to stage left she turns and heads back to the other side of the stage and turns the card over to reveal the price of the new 16 gigP2 card at which point everyone in the room faints.

    Highly recommended for insomniacs.

    If you are talking about a do it yourself deal on a low budget, you sir will not be getting much of a wide shot. As I remember, a simple garden hose sprayed into the air will work fine for medium to CUs. YOu might want to create depth by using several hoses, one for the backgournd one for the subject and one for the forground. The forgound hose will be minimal unless you are trying for that “we gotta get out of here” look.

    Water is cold and the actors will be punihed by this, this will in turn screw up their performance over time, pay attention to them.

    This might be what was going on. I have often used the color effect filter and the matte filters on an empty track but I have a habit of putting efects only on video not on empty tracks. With over ten years of Avid editing I have never even thought of how adding an edit to an empty video track might be useful, this might be why I had such a hard time understanding this.

    Thanks for the suggestions.

  • When I was doing some 3D stuff a few years back I choose to have an extremely soft shadow, I had the lights moving and camera moving etc. When I rendered this there was crazy flicker, I was told by Maxon the makers of Cinema 4D XL that the software was guessing at each frame where the shadow was to fall and made not attempt to make this guess base on the previous frame or the next frame. In other words each frame had a shadow render that was slightly different then the previous, though accurately placed in space, this caused a flicker.

    I have seen several questions regarding flicker on cameras and with FCP and I wonder if it has something to do with the rendering system not using info from previous frames to create a smooth and consistent render of dark or shadowed areas from frame to frame.

    Just a thought.
