I have actually been called a dinosaur. It happened in a photography seminar a number of years ago when the trainer asked for a program of hands from those still using film. Really, I was among two dinosaurs that he labelled. Not a motivating ratio for a class of about 20 people.
Misconception # 2: You need a film school to teach you how to make films. This weekend I inspected out 2 motion picture shoots. One was a student film being shot at New York Film Academy. Here, each trainee is paying $30,000 a year in tuition to shoot on a $6,000 electronic camera. Meanwhile, my friends Glynn and Frida shot their own 10 minute brief by teaching themselves and hanging out on film sets. They spent about $4,000 to get a quality HD cam, hire an expert gaffer, grip, and place manager, and actors. They did not pay any tuition. And the dailies look extraordinary.
Where this is leading me is that I can continue to use my film gear for as long as I'm prepared to establish my own film, if essential. The simplest by far to process is black and white, so when push concerns shove, that's what I'll be shooting. With my scanners, I'll be able to transform the films directly to digital without fretting about printing with an enlarger.
Your last press release could be about the conclusion of film ing on time and on budget, and should be sent with an image. Crucial to keep in mind that some behind-the-scenes photos - images that contain cams and lighting rig - are the best ones to film making utilize here. You might well be restricted to the number of real movie stills you have, and you do not want to begin using them yet. Conserve them for when you are promoting the film in earnest. However simply keep up the circulation of information, in any ingenious (and totally free) way you can.
The better alternative to the above approach is to hire a movie to video transfer expert. There are a variety of these professional transfer services today - numerous with flat rates, discounts or vouchers. However, if you really want the finest alternative for your precious memories, you require to work with a credible film to video transfer company. These folks will guarantee your old film is carefully cared for and that the quality you receive from them is the finest.
It's not a surprise that professionals (like our seminar leader) have largely deserted film, offered the breakneck speed at which improvements in digital electronic camera resolution and color precision are taking place. Gone are the days of bring packs of Polaroid film and video camera backs for verification of direct exposure and lighting. Now, we merely inspect the digital cam's LCD screen and its pie chart, and make instantaneous adjustments.
Movie financiers will ride your ass unlike friend or family when it concerns when the movie will be done, offered and their cash paid. Do not get shaken or take it personally. The company world is not warm and fuzzy loaded with hugs and kisses.
