Ask a local well known filmmaker if you can tag along on some shoots. Maybe you can work as crew and trade for the opportunity to learn from the lighting director. This is tough to learn from books. In person, you can see the immediate result of a gel, a diffuser, a different angle, 3200 vs 5600, etc.
Because lighting is the most important part of cinematography, you won’t learn much in a hurry.

We are using 23.98 in the USA because our “film” feature films are shot at a film rate of 24 frames. The rate of 23.98 allows an easier conversion later when the movie is transferred for use on our television system.
The USA has an electrical system of 60Hz and our television system displays at 29.97. Some in Europe shoot at 25 frames to closer match the TV rate of 25 frames and 50Hz electrical system.

Because we tend to travel with the battery installed, I would consider this a major issue.

We got ours to comply but lens the can’t be zoomed. We did have to mess with it and I don’t remember the details. Ours is out on a rental and we’ll look into it when it returns either on Monday or Wednesday. Other than that, do you have any comments?

So that’s why they don’t have the results in the newspaper and on the TV. Darn!

You wrote a program to convert the files? I guess that’s pretty impressive. I have a hard time writing my wife a note.

[Rafael Amador] “M wife will kill me when she will see my Christmast presents.
I will open a blog about:-)”Never mind as you will be dead. However, some things are just plain worth it. I am so happy that we never caved into that whole HVX200 thing. What turned me off the first day was that the highlights went yellow above 100% and the blacks were noisy. I see none of that with the EX1.

Camera arrived today at noon and I am in total awe of what we have in front of us. We have 2 DSR300s that we are retiring and now I feel good about it.
This is one amazing piece of gear and it has none of the problems that turned me against the HVX200 the first time I saw on in action.
More later
