Hello, I need to find a LANC controller that I can use to trigger Canon HF-S10 cameras, any suggestions?

Gentlemen, I have 4 Pelican cases, model 1650, that need new foam inserts, as I'm changing the gear I'm putting inside of them. The replacement sets from Pelican are way too expensive so I wonder if anybody has any suggestions on where to buy high density foam that I can cut myself as needed...

Gentlemen, I will be shooting an underwater project for which I'd like to make a 5-6 minute demo in 3D. I am very experienced in underwater and topside shooting but have never done anything in 3D. The goal is to have HD quality footage play out on TV sets in 3D, no theatrical distribution, no...

For those CS4 users that are computer literate: What is the ImporterProcessServer.exe utility that Premiere so heavily relies on? It allocates up to 2GB of memory of it on any given project I'm working on so it has to be important.But this thing is causing freezes and crashes in Premiere and it...

Guys, I've gotten the dreaded message that disables file recognition inside CS4 to any and all footage types, not just RED but XDCAM, MTS, etc, etc. I know this has happened to several users here while installing updated versions of the Adobe RED plug-in and/or Redcine. It happened to me after...

Obin, Paul, anybody else I'm running CS4 on a nice i-7 system, 12 gigs DDR3 RAM, OS on a SSD RAID 0 set up (as per Paul Leeming's suggestions, blazingly fast might I add :-) and a couple of RAID 0 set ups (with proper back up) for scratch disk and video storage. I am still using the ATI card...

RED team, REDCODE is as much a revolutionary product as the camera itself, but why limit it to RED acquired images only? There are tons of HD cameras out there recording different flavors of compressed HD to tape, flash cards, hard rives, etc. The heavy compression, be it AVCHD or MPEG, they...

Just read on American Cinematographer that CRANK 2 was shot entirely on Canon HDV cameras, all shooting at glorious 1440 x 1080 resolution at 4:2:0 sampling and 8 bits. I thought the movie was originally planned for RED, but ultimately, these guys didn't even go for the better formats like XDCAM...

Figure I give this a shot here in case someone can help, I've just got a Canon HG20 camera to test it so that if it delivers enough quality we can buy a few of them for crash cams and other uses. The camera has great reviews in terms on image quality and I really don't mind its lack of...

Posted this already on "Off topic" but figure it wouldn't hurt to post it here as well: I'm looking for a Sony EX1, used but in great condition, so if anybody is looking to get rid of one, PM me and let's talk.

Would it be possible to use a 3D rig to shoot HDR images instead? I'm not interested in shooting 3D but instead, there's a feature we'll start shooting later in the year where 90% of the script takes place outdoors, and we really want to extol the beauty of the location, so we want crisp, blue...

Hello all, I need to buy or rent a PL wide angle zoom for a production I'm overseeing. We plan to do a lot of steadicam work filming chase scenes up in the mountains, so we need something in the mid 10's to low 40's (that is mm, as in 15-40mm). We also need to shoot a fair amount underwater and...

Apparently, Stan Winston died last night, not much more details than that at the moment. He was a great guy, I met him a couple of times. More details at http://www.aintitcool.com/node/37106

Hello all, Don't know if I should've posted this on the forum, but here goes it anyway. I have been assigned as the creative consultant for a new European production company that will do mostly sub-contract work for other bigger studios, but we have agreed to consider 6 to 10 original stories...

Sorry for the sensationalist tittle to the thread, I just wanted to make sure that those who can contribute don't miss it. With all the discussions lately about the dynamic range/lattitude of the RED and the disparity of results among owners, some claiming the Mysterium is to blame for...

Here's something that's had me thinking for some time now. We always tout the virtues of HDV and DV before as "enough" for TV but definitely never good enough for large screen projection, with HD barely making the cut. It seems that every SD or HD camera can, with a lot of care and expertise...

After seeing many of the samples posted on the forum, and reading a lot of the comments by many posters, I came to the realization that RAW is a very misunderstood beast for the majority of people, including talented and experienced DP's. Mostly, and this is good, I realize people don't know how...

I have examined many r3d clips coming from several sources, and no matter where, how and by whom they were shot, I continue to see a lot of bad noise in the blue channel. This concerns me because we're targeting RED for two different projects, both aimed for theatrical projection, where we will...
