        <p>Is it possible?&nbsp; I know it&#8217;s been done, most famously with the SXSW &#8220;Best Narrative Feature&#8221;-winning <strong>Tiny Furniture</strong> (which, from the trailer, seems like it really didn&#8217;t even use the 7D to its full potential), but&#8230; is it possible?</p>

<p>A friend and I were discussing this, and I was wondering if anyone here had thoughts on the subject.</p>

<p>What are the chances of making a fairly low-end comedic drama on:</p>

<p>- Rebel T2i</p>

<p>- 7D</p>

<p>- 5D Mark II</p>

<p>?</p>

<p>If you were the DP on such a feature, what would you ask for, as far as lenses, mounts &amp; support systems and other gear go?</p>

<p>Aside from rolling shutter, are there any serious issues with the T2i/7D/5D Mark II?

      <![CDATA[
        <p>So, I was wondering what might be the best way to go about studying cinematography in films (as in, watching films).&nbsp; Is it better to &#8220;follow&#8221; a specific cinematographer&#8217;s career (e.g., Wally Pfister, Andrew Lesnie, Roger Deakins) and study his films, trying to get a sense of style?&nbsp; Or to just look at critically acclaimed/Oscar-nom&#8217;d cinematography?&nbsp; Or just find a movie you like and see what shots you like in it?</p>

<p>Or something totally random that I&#8217;d never think of?&nbsp; &lt;grin&gt;</p>

<p>Any thoughts?</p>

<p>(Note: I&#8217;m not asking about the best way to learn cinematography.&nbsp; I already know that&#8217;s by grabbing a camera and shooting something (with the camera&#8230;).&nbsp; I&#8217;m already doing that, I just want to see how other, more professional/devoted cinematographers study the works of other even more professional/devoted cinematographers&#8230; &lt;grin&gt;)

<p>They are both clean, no scratches or fungus. I held up the lenses to my EX-1, as I don&#8217;t have a DSLR yet. </p>

        <p>Just as the titles says. I&#8217;m in the market for a Super 8mm camera but there are many kinds in all shapes and sizes and it&#8217;s all very confusing. I know I need one with Crystal Sync to be able to record sound on set but which one is the best for filmmaking?</p>

<p>I just want one for artistic purposes.</p>

<p>Also, I&#8217;ve hear of Super 8s that have film cartridges you just stick in and shoot, is that true?

      <title>Lighting Kits</title>

      <![CDATA[
        <p>I&#8217;m looking into lighting kits right now. The company I&#8217;ve done videos for is planning on doing more in the future, likely in the same setup.</p>

<p>We did some videos in a small corner of a bedroom (probably a 12&#8217;x12&#8217;-ish space) and we lit that with, I think, 2,500w of shop lights from the hardware store and a photo umbrella. I&#8217;m surprised that with that much firepower and properly adjusted (to the best of the ability of both operators and cameras) equipment, we still ended up with a somewhat dark image.</p>

<p>I&#8217;d like to do better next time. So I&#8217;m looking into lighting kits. Couple of questions:</p>

<p>1. Would just the fact that I have &#8220;real&#8221; lights, properly used, help with the dark image? I&#8217;m mostly thinking that the shop lights could have lost a lot of light along the way, via spill, etc.</p>

<p>2. Any idea of what kind of lights I should be looking for? Specific brands? Controls? I&#8217;m feeling quite overwhelmed at both pricing and variety, as I&#8217;ve only ever worked with shop lights before.</p>

<p>Any help is greatly appreciated!</p>
