Casting call for a short film I'm making
Boro_Bandito:
Not even gonna say anything about the Hi-8.
Being a poor film student as I am I use what's cheap. Just last semester before they switched to mostly digital cameras for our program I spent over five-hundred dollars on 16mm black and white film. If he's doing a day in the life video using good lighting and professional quality DV tapes it would cheapen it and its reality/voyeuristic view nature. Using the crappier stuff could definitely be seen as an artisitic choice. (desperately trying to find reasons why he's such a cheap bastard)
Best Buy is not a supermarket, it is my Mecca.
Kytt:
What's wrong with Hi-8? It's digital...
RallyMonkey:
There is no lack in quality compared to price ranges for DV tape. It's just a matter of if you want to risk frame drops on the cheaper DV tapes.
doki:
I'll do it!
im boring, but ill do it
Boro_Bandito:
From my experience the frame drops have only happened to me when I've been using a shitty program/cable to switch em. Use a USB and Windows Movie maker and sure you'll get more frame drops then if you use Final Cut Pro and a firewire 800. And the camera you use will have something to do with it too. Doesn't matter how good you're DV is, if you're using a low-end home video camera with a single chip recording RGB then its still gonna look shitty and unprofessional. And since that's what I have access to during the holidays, I'm still not participating.
