<description>&#60;p&#62;Despite this being 'Videomaker' forums and the emphasis lying so heavily on the visual element of video, unless you're purposely making silent movies Sound is an equally crucial element to your work. Plenty of emphasis on collecting good sound in the field is made in the forums, whether making a narrative or documentary project your Sound Design (or lack of it) will make or break your film. Here's a vid from the folks at Soundworks as they show us their process for creating the soundtrack for the the Sci-fi thriller &#34;Inception&#34;.&#60;/p&#62;

<description>&#60;p&#62;Hi, new here so thanks in advance for any help on this. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I made a short movie last year on a borrowed Sony A1 and I've got my next short in development. I'm trying to work out what camera to buy. Do I go down the DSLR route and take advantage of the 35mm lens changing capability to add to the movie look? Or do I stick to video cameras? Not hugely clued up here so really happy I've found this site. Any thoughts for making something that has some of the look of film but all of the benefits of digital?&#60;/p&#62;</description>

&#60;p&#62;   On my blog site, there's alot of articles and websites that I have recommended to help us all in regards with pre-production, production and post production. I'm new and i'm trying to create a community within my blogsite so that we all can learn from each other and compare opinions. My only dream is that someone will push us towards a newer era in film/video creativity. Let's start now.&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;The teaser trailer to Pyromaniac Studios' upcoming feature length fanfilm based&#60;br /&#62;
off of one of the most popular webcomics of all time. Currently the movie&#60;br /&#62;
 is more than half finished, and will be released Winter 2011. More&#60;br /&#62;
details to follow.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;As this is a non-profit fan film, no profit can or will be made off of the project. It is made solely for entertainment purposes. The film is based on&#60;br /&#62;
characters and situations created by J. Jacques. This is a work of&#60;br /&#62;
tribute to his years of entertaining us. Visit&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.questionablecontent.net&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&#62;http://www.questionablecontent.net&#60;/a&#62; to catch up on the story.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Let me know what you think! I realize this teaser is aimed more at fans of the webcomic who will recognize the imagery and characters, but I still thought I'd post it here anyways. =)&#60;/p&#62;</description>

<description>&#60;p&#62; I&#34;ve recently graduated with a film degree from the University of North Texas. Unlike many of my fellow students, I wasn't blessed with the financial ability to buy a camera (or have one purchased for me) upon graduation. SO, I find myself as a director without anything to direct with! I'm looking for a camera (DSLR or otherwise) that would be affordable on a shoestring budget like mine. I can swing from $1000.00 to $1500.00, approximately. A starting kit (body, zoom lens, etc) is all I really need for now.  Any suggestions would be appreciated!  &#60;/p&#62;</description>

<description>&#60;p&#62;Y'all probably get this a lot, but I'm new and need help. I've been editing on a small scale for a couple years now and on final cut express for about a year but next year I will be a senior in high school and will be doing an independent film course and I am probably going into film in college so I need a good camera. I will be going to italy in two weeks with a leadership group and I have been asked to make a film recording the trip and the work put into it but I need to get a good camera preferably under $1000 which I know is ridiculous but I figure y'all know what is best and can help me&#60;/p&#62;</description>

<description>&#60;p&#62;Well in the midst of the hoopla, excitement and 'lemming-like' rush to purchase Apple's new iPhone someone actually found a practical use for the thing (since you can't use the phone unless &#34;You just don't hold it that way.&#34;) Filmmaker Michael Koerbel has made the unofficial 'first' movie using the new phone called &#34;Apple of My Eye&#34;. It's a cute little film apparently done in 48 hours with nothing more than the phone itself. The mostÂ  interesting elements about the short film are the great camera angles and the surprisingly good quality of the video. At least if you can't call with the thing, you can shoot a nice looking short....&#60;/p&#62;

<description>&#60;p&#62;I recently read an article from Peter Jackson how he's filming the Hobbit in 48p and how he's done with and prefers the faster frame rate in all aspects. And I have to say I agree with him.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The 24 frame rate was established a very long time ago when sound was introduced to film. And mostly because projectors and film cameras of the day had an intermittant which would only react so fast. 24 frames worked back then, but why oh why are we still using it now. Everone wants digital cameras with 'native' 24p, which doesn't actually mean anything, but yet everyone wants it. There's nothing wrong with your digital footage NOT looking like the blurry film you're used to seeing. I agree that 35mm captures more color variances than most digital chips can, but the eye percieves motion oh so much faster and clearere than 24 frames a second. And isn't the ultimate goal to have footage that is exactly how our eyes see the world? &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;SO that's my question, discuss, debate, argue, and I'm curious what other opinions are on this. ;)&#60;/p&#62;</description>

<description>&#60;p&#62;I am interested in taking some of the video I have and making it look like old B&#38;amp;W film.  I was wondering if any of the less expensive editing programs have the ability to make this type of conversion.  I am interested in the Adobe Premier 6 but wasn't able to find if it did that.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I'd like to be able to take it to B&#38;amp;W, &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;maybe add some scratches, dirt &#38;amp; hair effect &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;and possibly change the speed so it looks like undercranked silents or like old newsreels.  &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I have a simple Hitachi DZ-GX5020A video camera that makes mini-dvds &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I am hoping that at some point I'll be able to afford a new computer.   &#60;/p&#62;</description>

<description>&#60;p&#62;Here's a really good audio discussion from the 'Terrance and Phillip Show' Podcast. (no southpark relation and no fart jokes) T&#38;amp;P discuss the topic of how the quality level offered by trained film &#38;amp; video professionals is becoming unnecessary because of lower expectations of 'quality' in digital media these days. From film to Mpeg4 and from Vinyl LP's to MP3's and more what is determined as a quality product has changed considerably. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;As those who are working pros, Intermediates looking to go pro or Hobbyists or Novices what do you think a 'quality' looking/sounding film or video is and what level of quality would you be willing to produce or buy? Should you make your final product high quality as possible or just get it to where it's good enough? What do you think good enough is? Do you think low quality films and video are ruining the film and video business by just being good enough?&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;HDSLR's are quite good for what you spend.  I was quite impressed by the quality from a sub-$1000 camera.&#60;/p&#62;</description>

<description>&#60;p&#62;I just watched the tutorial on creating a 'film look' using 24P, and I felt there were some misleading statements. I'd also like to add a very big comment about PLAYBACK.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;If there's no way to display or present your material at 24fps, I challenge the whole concept of shooting at 24P. Most decent video editing software now has the option to work in 24P format, so the material can be encoded to 24P MPEG-2 and displayed using HD DVD and a 24P-capable LCD screen (at a multiple of 24hz, with 120hz and above being optimal). You can also play directly from many cameras in 24P direct to these screens.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;However, if you have to convert to an NTSC broadcast format to display the 24P, forget it. A lot of material is still produced on film for TV broadcast, and they generally shoot at 24fps. I've even seen digital video shot at 24P for television broadcast, which is perverse. The whole system for getting feature films onto North American TV is a horrible compromise. The 3:2 pulldown 'expansion' of film frames to interlaced video is not part of the 'film look', especially since that effect doesn't happen in places with 50hz systems, like the UK. They don't watch movies on TV with any 'mashing' of frames.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The TV production world uses 24fps for no other reason than it saves money, particularly in post production. I've seen many TV commercials shot at 24fps where the advertising agency actually believed they were producing a 'film look', which is a testament to the disingenuous nature of advertising.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;A couple of other comments:&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Motion blur is not the same as strobe - it's the opposite. Strobe occurs when the brain cannot perceive continuous motion, and this happens when we use a slow display frame rate COMBINED with a fast shutter (or narrow shutter angle in a film camera). At 24fps we don't perceive the black phases between the projected images - that's what persistence of vision means. But a narrow shutter angle means that each frame only captures a small percentage of the motion, and we can't put that movement back together in a fluid way. The narrow (or fast) shutter also decreases the motion blur, making things crisper, and this INCREASES the strobe effect.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I also totally challenge the idea that you should add film grain, unless you want a 'vintage' look. 35mm film has more than twice the detail resolution of HD video, and a modern feature film shot on film and transferred to digital video has no perceivable grain, unless it was intentional. Grain comes from degraded stored print, or from high speed stocks 'pushed' in exposure, printing or development.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;And lastly, I wanted to comment that the 24fps standard for film-making is not set in stone. I agree that it was introduced with costs in mind, and then became a standard which was difficult to alter for the same reason. But movies are increasingly shot on digital video, and displayed on digital projectors. There's no doubt that a higher frame rate would raise the quality, so I predict that 30fps might be introduced in the near future.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Movies certainly produce the highest quality of image, being processed in post production and projected in theatres at about 4K resolution, but we can only display those images currently on a TV screen at 1920 x 1080, so I have to ask why we trying so hard for a 'film look' in video at 24P, when HD video at 30P arguably looks better on a TV screen?&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I look forward to getting some comments!&#60;/p&#62;</description>

<description>&#60;p&#62; Hi! I'm new here and I would like you guys to give me some ideas on how to make The Canon Vixia's 24p (through pulldown) to look even more like film because my videos have that sort of blurriness that you find in film but they don't run as smoothly. The image is great but isn't there a plug-in for Sony Vegas 8.0 Pro to make everything more &#34;dreamy&#34; and soft? Thankz&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I am working and trying to be a filmmaker and I've been reading a lot about filmmaking so I bought a couple of books and I can say I'm a little bit knowlegeable about what to do as a director but I don't have a lot of money to rent a Genesis or a Panavison camera so I have to work with what I have. I'll keep you updated about my first effeort. I wrote 2 scripts, 1 es suppsed to be a short and the other almost a feature lengh film (maybe 70 minutes long). I hope to start shooting by July so any help would be more than welcome. :)&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Another thing..do you think I should make the whole white balancing process in-camera or doing the post-production?&#60;/p&#62;</description>
