Indie Film Live: October 2006

http://indiefilmlive.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html

Tuesday, October 31, 2006. We were using premiere 1.5 for some time even when Cineform insisted we upgrade to V2 for best performance with Cineform RAW. We began testing Pro 2 with a demo version and have just upgraded. The test results were varied and there are definately issues with the entire work flow. But nothing that will actually get in our way and as we settle in I think most should dissapear or we'll find a work around. Posted by simon at 8:00 AM. Posted by simon at 7:38 AM. See what can be done.

Well If you haven’t heard about it yet, best read this: http:/ www.siliconimaging.com/DigitalCinema/. Was our work flow the best it could be or had things moved on allowing for an even better format? We tested ...

Thursday, October 26, 2006. Thank you all for your continuing support and interest. Posted by simon at 4:14 AM. What lenses did you use with the SI camera? Have you ran into any issues using Premier Pro 2 as far a stability? As a film journalist, I was wondering if there a direct email contact for anyone on production itself. Please feel free to contact me nora@moviemaker.com. Thanks. 1 Why is the fact that the SI cam was used on SPOON now ignored by Cineform? 2 Will you use the SI cam again? On this sit...

http://indiefilmlive.blogspot.com/2006/06/heads-and-grips.html

Friday, June 09, 2006. Here's a shot of Alfie, our key grip, pushing Sunel on a trolley we found on hanging behind her but nothing more cumbersome than the usual video take off cable used on film sets - and our small location. Worked out beatifully. There is a 16 core network cable batteries last 4 hours on the head and monitor. The big ones last almost a day. Here is a pic of Alfie's bungy rigs. These worked well for alot of hand held feeling shots where operators had to roll a lot. I know they are a bi...
