Re: K-5 video question

Most excellent read. Thanks Walt It's been 10 years since I've been in LA. The trailer makes me nostalgic. Ah, Dum Dum Girls http://www.imdb.com/rg/s/4/title/tt2292959/#lb-vi4287341849 On 11/01/2013 9:46 AM, Walt wrote: Apparently, if I can come up with a script, I can get Lindsay Lohan.

Apparently, if I can come up with a script, I can get Lindsay Lohan. And from there, all I need to do is launch a Kickstarter campaign and everything will fall into place. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/13/magazine/here-is-what-happens-when-you-cast-lindsay-lohan-in-your-movie.html?ref=magazine

Re: K-5 video question

Mark is correct of course. Much of the sound for motion pictures and high-end commercials is created in post. Back in the day when budgets of over a million dollars for a 30 second commercial were fairly common, almost anything was possible. This commercial was made on a budget of only 300K, but

It may be a while before I dive into Premier. I figure this is one of those "baby-steps" situations, as I probably need to spend time developing the basic focusing and panning techniques before worrying about post-production. Still, having the capability to produce excellent quality just begs

It's quite simple to just have fun shooting video on the K-5. I've done a number of them. I edit on iTunes, which is not as powerful as professional tools but lets you do things like frame by frame positioning, different types of cuts and dissolves, placement and modulation of audio, and more. I

K-5 video question

So, I'm actually intrigued by the K-5's video capabilities, and like the fact that it has an external mic input for stereo sound. I even went so far as to download Adobe Premier last night, in the event I want to actually do something creative with it. But, I'm curious about how much I can exp
