Cheap teleprompter options
I agree it's important but in our tests people weren't able to distinguish between a talent looking directly at the center of the lens and slightly above it. Not one person could tell the difference. The show didn't have a lot of tigh…

Why use sky lights? Not controllable. Unless you mean for the office space section. Sky light will create a huge light source that changes in temp, intensity, every which way. You'd also give up soundproofing.

Greece: Life is a long jump from pussy to the grave
>The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get …

Broadcast Industry Acceptance. of GH Cameras
@GH2UW Like most, I dismissed GH2+ recorders when reports of the crippling of hdmi were reported? What are you using to defeat it? Is avsynth still the only method?

I remembered some advice I got while building a studio pertaining to sound: Make a room within a room. That's esp relevant to the rolling steel door you're installing perhaps.

US: Debt solution found
@JRD What you say is all true of course. The Prison Industrial Complex. Don't forget the privatization of prison. Big business! There's gold in them chains! Also, Obama has recently signaled an easing of the fed's crackdown on pot use…

My daughter, she's just a kid, and I think saw the 24fps version, said it looked "Fake". I haven't seen it yet.

I find the lead actress appealing. How long is the film?

Choosing camera for my needs
I'd forget DSLR/Lumix. Get something with decent on board audio and built in ND filters and that's reasonably ergonomic.

Keep floor not just flat but smooth for good dollying. Every ounce of money and effot put toward soundproofing won't be regretted (watch that roller door as a weak link). Plenty of oulets. Light grid. Full light control, cove? Cold sets prefera…

Yes. It's important that these chicks are smart. That's why we're all looking at it.

I need advice: I dont know if I'm crazy or obsessed
Don't do it. GH2 is not the limiting factor in your film career. SAVE you money and hire a sound man or something. Don't do it.

If you're not fully comfortable with video, you might consider just shooting your film unhacked. The unhacked image is gorgeous and it'll be glitch free and take up less HDD space.

Gaza is getting hammered...
I've always thought the Palestinians were better off using sling shots instead of rockets. Less damaging, but that the point, Israel is forced to a measured response. And the optics are sucky for the Israelis.
