Adam Loretz commented on the blog post Final Cut Pro X – James Tonkin IMHO FCPX is maturing rapidly into a professional app. Now we have multi clip capabilities, broadcast monitoring, XML and a pathway from FCP7 to X and back again if you so desire, I'd say that Apple are pulling out all the stops to keep Final Cut Pro, pro. I have just cut a live studio [...]

Den Lennie commented on the blog post Filming A Project : Lesson 11 – The finished film Hi Clint I think this is a problem with FCP7 being old and not working too well with AVC HD. I use log and transfer for tis but it often crashes. I haven't yet spent enough time playing with FCP X to figure this workflow out I'm afraid. But we did discover on a fairly [...]

Clint Regehr commented on the blog post Filming A Project : Lesson 11 – The finished film Thanks Den. I actually have Twixter and it works great. Since I have the FS100, I will use the S&Q mode for this next project for slow motion and record at 1080/60p and playback at 24p. When I file and transfer these to FCP7, they are recognized at 24p files. But, if I were to [...]

This is difficult to answer in a short paragraph as there is so much to consider when quoting. Let me come up with a way of covering this off. It;s a series of tutorials really. Let me schedule them in.

Den Lennie commented on the blog post How To Shoot Interviews : Lesson 4 – Microphone Placement 1) I can't recall the make of boom pole, I think it may have been this rycote http://www.prokit.co.uk/index.php?view=product&product=Rycote-A5-Boom-Pole 2) here's the Rycoe CCA mount http://www.prokit.co.uk/index.php?view=product&product=rycote-cca-camera-mic-mount-boom-adapter 3) Yes you're correct but you still need to hold the mic with something and so it makes sense to use the shock mount as it's already on the end [...]

Den Lennie commented on the blog post Filming A Project : Lesson 11 – The finished film Hi Clint, sorry I've been traveling. I'm in Chicago this week for the next Zacuto Great camera shootout. So I recorder the slow mo at 50P and the editor simply re-timed it to play at 25P (us being in Europe we shoot 25/50P but you'd shoot 60P and play back at 30P or 24p) Ther's [...]

Den Lennie commented on the blog post Lighting, Support and Grip If you live in Europe the power is 240V as opposed the US where it's 110 v so not so much benefit as necessity mate:)

I notice that the Dedo's come in 120V and 230V. What is the benefit of one over the other?

Clint Regehr commented on the blog post Video Vault : A Winters Tale Hey Den, what a beautiful film. Excellent! This time also has special memories for me. My youngest daughter was graduating from LSE and my wife was visiting her in London for the graduation and then spend a few days before they all came home to TX for Christmas. Long story short, they were able to [...]

Clint Regehr commented on the blog post Filming A Project : Lesson 11 – The finished film Hi Den, after I posted this I realized that I could use the S&Q mode of the FS100, and thereby shoot at 60p but play it back at 24p. (which would be at 40% slow motion) Question, is that what you did in this video, use the S&Q mode, or did you do the slow [...]

Clint Regehr commented on the blog post Filming A Project : Lesson 11 – The finished film Hi Den, great tutorial. I'm new here and had a question on frame rates. Since I live in the US, I normally shoot 24p and 30p. I have an upcoming project where it will involve interviews and some action shots. I would like to shoot 24p (1/48 shutter speed) for the interviews and 1080/60p (1/120 [...]
