  • So with all the different HD formats that look like they will be around for a while,do you see a situation where a freelancer who has spent the big bucks for one of the formats.. HDCAM/HDX900/ or XDCAM PDW700 for example… will have to say well if you want me,this is my camera,and you will have to rent a player… ofcourse this would put camera people in more remote area,s in a good place as they have less competition….

    But it sounds like this is a repeat client and they want George as much as they want the F900? bit of a risk ofcourse.. but except for people that can afford 2 or 3… 2/3 inch chip top end HD camera,s.. the one camera people might have to start sticking their necks out for the format they have bought into,and rely …. hope 🙂 that its also their own skill thats part of the clients choice.. not just the format…

    So if there is a noise going on during an interview,a say 1 min wild track of just the noise can be used to totally cancel out the noise??

    Is it a very time consuming/expensive process? does it work on all noises,or some better than others? does it have to be a constant noise ?

    Thanks

    At last! wonder if it will become popular and take over the doco /corp markets.Then at last we freelancers will know what camera to buy… or am I fooling myself??

    ok thanks.thats a good idea…I guess it was one of the bigger mag lites?

    It seems they want a very flat and soft light,all for the soft light,but I like to have some shadow/modelling on the face.Looks pretty boring otherwise.Its just a head and shoulders shot really.

    Maybe it looks good on 35mm and graded to Timbuktu and back?

    ha! yes I heard it in Australia… it means to throw a tantrum … i.e. like a baby crying so hard it spits its dummy out.

    Its a great expression …

    As in…. alright mate no need to spit the dummy… and less likely hood of a knuckle sandwich in response to more colourful rebuttals ….

    Thanks Steve.

    I wondered if this eye light was used even with other lighting to give some sparkle? in the eye,s

    Personally its not the sort of lighting technique I would ever use… but if its requested thought I should get some advise from others on this forum.

    I could always refuse and spit the dummy …. haha

    In fairness it is actually written on the side of the cassette.You just need to keep it in a separate pocket of your camera bag.
