  • HAPPY BIRTHDAY! SING A SONG WITH BARRY O!
  • this thread confuses me
  • i have a bike you could borrow for the next week if you could pick it up tonight. i am off bright and early in the morning to go help my pa with that jeff bridges benefit show (see other post)
  • sorry, i am a proud son...
  • my dad is not the famous actor. more info here: http://www.kbzk.com/news/actor-jeff-bridges-raising-awareness-money-for-hungry-children-in-montana/#!prettyPhoto[gallery]/2/
  • i think that the cataclysmic shifts that have taken place around the making/distribution/viewing of movies over the past 20 years has prepared me well for this new "book" reality. i have heard over and over and over about the death of cinema and t…
  • J- Judder on the Red indeed, on some deep horizontal dolly pans. dude at the fancy post production house said it was a combination of the CMOS sensor and the ARTIFACTING THAT SHOOTING 24FPS CREATES!!!
  • how much yogurt are you feeding him? a tablespoon a day mixed in with his kibble is probably more than enough, don't give him more than that. you probably don't remember your childhood dogs diarrhea because your parents dealt with it. that's one …
  • things are changing fast and furiously in terms of streaming. netflix is loosing it's hold and the rest of the pack is quickly catching up. it won't be long before we can subscribe to HBO via streaming, and for that i am very excited. the nice th…
  • "This is something you should not see on a non-dslr style camera, since the sensor is better optimized for movement." I have been victimized by the Judder Monster using the Red Cam! HD and horizontal movement are still a ways away from being a hap…
  • oh man, Ukiah used to fart like a maniac. they would be long and loud, and he'd just sit there looking at you with a goofy look on his face while he was stinking up the place. he even woke himself up a couple times! we recently switched him to a…
  • this is a tough call. i use streaming way more than i get DVDs, but i am very aware that i watch a lot of bad stuff on instant view. instant view is a lot like channel surfing. perhaps it's time to get reacquainted with my local video store.
  • i don't mean to rain on your parade Zuckerburg, if you like shooting 24p than fair enough. one thing for sure is that it uses less disk space, so that's a total advantage. my beef is just with the marketing minds behind the whole 'film look' thing…
  • well, again, if you are talking about a "film look" than the typical (celluloid) motion picture camera's shutter speed is 1/48 of a second. significantly slower(faster?) than 1/30 of a second that most prosumer video cameras can shoot at (in either…
  • off topic but a great read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eadweard_Muybridge
  • I HOPE YOU ARE HAPPY NOW MARCUS
  • my OTHER grievance with the "24p marketing ploy" is why 24? if this alternate frame rate is in fact for better image, why was the clunky number 24 decided upon? 24 frames per second didn't come along until the advent of movies with sound. the 24f…
  • there should be a class or support group for this. how are we supposed to know how much is too much?
  • D- are you sure that the improvements in image that you are seeing aren't just the result of improvements in the camera itself? back when the Panasonic DVX100 (which i think was the first prosumer level camera to have 24p) everyone raved about 24p …
  • one thing i will say: DO NOT GET SUCKERED BY THE WHOLE '24 FRAMES PER SECOND' CHARADE! the only reason shooting 24 fps makes any sense is if you plan on transferring your video footage to 35mm film. consumer cameras marketing themselves as having …
  • or maybe tad?
  • 25 tabs
  • the cool thing about DSLRs is that you get great images, you have both high quality video and still photo capabilities, and you can buy different lenses- (allowing you to invest in stages, essentially) and then when it comes time to upgrade the came…
  • what are you looking to do with the camera? how important is sound/image quality? do you want something that will fit in your pocket or that you'd put on a tripod? lots of questions. you do want HD. that is the format of now and the older stand…
  • speaking of ISP options out there, are there any others? does anyone have Clear? is that any good?
  • 1.5 isn't terrible- that's what we have at the boathouse. streaming netflix movies works fine, as long as your roommate isn't trying to do the same.
  • double check that. if true, send me a link cause i might sign up too!
  • is that $14.99 a month already on top of a landline phone account you have with them? i have always been under the assumption that you could only get DSL through them if you have a landline?
  • the photos and link to the facebook page (in addition to the insane nature of it) make me think it's a fake. but then again i thought that the photo of the people kissing in the vancouver riots was fake too so what do i know.
