Sorry, meant 4:2:2 camera, the Panasonic AG HPX170. Would it make the shoot a lot simpler to use a RED or something instead?

Hey Dave,
I completly agree with you. I know this will look like crap unless i know what im doing, and that i have to know EVERYTHING before i go into this. Theres no point in spending a few thousand on armor and props if its gonna end up looking like a saturday morning cartoon.
We’ll be shooting with a 4-4-2 camera, so i wont have the full color field to choose from. I’m just wondering at this point if it would be easier to do a complete green screen set, that way at least things will blend together a lot better.
Oh, learning experiences! The more advice the merrier though, keep it coming!
Thanks guys.

Haha, thanks guys. Yeah, Virtual Set seems more like it, however, i will be adding the fake material to a real (empty field) location, so i honestly wasnt sure what it would be called.
I’ll check out those links, and defiently look into 300 and sin city. This wont shot on a complete green screen set as those movies were, but it should defiently help to know what they had to do.
The bummer is since im shooting this outside there will be changing light conditions, haha, and all i have for post work is myself and good old trusty after effects. Oh, how i love to give myself thy challenging assignments!
Would you guys recomend using 3d structures for the buildings, or stock photography brought from iphoto? My only problem with 3d composites is it might not blend in with the live elements of the shot, but stock photography…well…it completly limits the angle of the shot…
Thanks you guys!

Yeah, i understand the processing power that will be needed. Luckily, i’ll only need a 5 second battlescene (which may still take a day to render) and no where near that number of layers.
I do know it will look nowhere near as good as that though, at least its something to try 🙂

Wow, haha, that answers my 2nd question of having to make a large scale battle like that. Perfect.
Haha, thanks Dave!

You have to use Encore to burn the DVD’s, yes. If “Export to Encore” is not working for you, you can always use Media Encoder to encode H264 files (or .mpg2, if you wont be burning to blue ray) then bring those files to a timeline in Encore.
Set your encore timeline to firstplay, and the propertys to loop, and you should have a looping DVD that you wont have to worry about the menus.
Encore can be funky some times, but if you try exporting out your footage as the correct file type, then bring it into encore. It should defiently work.
It does suck Adobe decided not to ship manuels, however, you can get help by going to the help tab in premeier, and looking up your issue.
Hopefully this helps

Thanks…

Wow, that video makes me wish my bank account was a little larger (im sure we all do)
Defiently a prime investment, next question is…is the matrox RT.X2 just as good as buying a new video card and better processer?
It allows for awesome Real time effect, and seems a bit cheaper..

is also one of the best places to go for AE tutorials. They have a beginers tutorial section which is really good, along with a lot of good products.
also is a good place.

I havent heard much news about CS5 as of yet, but the reason everyone is saying it will be so much faster with these cards is due to it being 64 bit, right?
Maybe theres a new feature it has that i havent heard of…
