Hasta La Motion!

hi guys, i suppose many of you guys have heard about the those two DSLR, so i have searched in many forums trying to find winch one is the best for shooting video ,cause basically i will be shooting a lot of video…
some places they say that the 600d(t3i) its better cause its cheaper and in has the 10 x digital zoom in video mode but others say that the 60d its a better camera …So i don’t really know winch one to buy…and its that 10 X digital zoom such a big thing ??
can you guys give me a hint?
:thanks:

Hi there

I’m about to switch from mac to a new windows 64bit prof. with the following specs:

Grafikkarten NVIDIA Workstation
PNY Quadro FX 3800
NVIDIA Quadro FX 3800, 1024 MB, 256 Bit, PCIe 2.0 x16

CPU Sockel 1155

—-
overall: € 2100

but I’m no hardware expert. I just read some threads and tests and looked up some hardware.
So I’d like to know what’s more important: a lot of ram (16 or better 24gig?) or a awesome graphic-card. this one is specialized for rendering and I read that 3dsmax supports its new technology.

this might be an alternative:

PNY Quadro FX 1800 Retail, DVI, 2x DisplayPort

—-
with this graphic card instead: € 1700

I’m new to 3dsmax, maya and fumefx, but I want to get something I can work with for quite a long time without getting to slow in terms of renderingspeed.

I’d be glad if you guys could give me some advice about that. Sounds this like a good system?

thank you in advance!!

Hi All
so here goes my first post !

im after a camcorder to use for recording my own footage for practicing my nuke ( greenscreen, tracking, roto etc) at home as i am currently being taught it at a London studio.
im not looking for anything like a HVX200 ( having used them for years at uni i know there great but well out my use need and price range)
the most i will ever use the footage is practicing, if push comes to shove then maybe a bit in my reel.

i’ve got a budget of £600-£700 at the most.

using the search on the forum, i’ve found alot of talk about the canon’s HF s10 and the HF S100

why do they keep coming up and what others should i be looking at.

Thanks all for the help
Theo

hello all,

I know this is more of a post-production kinda forum, but I thought someone here might be able to help anyway.

I was wondering if anyone could suggest how to get rid of flickering or strange waves of light or bars of colour that appear whenever I try filming projections.
We’re filming on a Canon 5D so its in progressive, and so far we’ve had the same problems whichever input we use on the digital projector. We’ve tried playing around with the shutter speed and with the refresh rate on the computer we’re playing the videos to be projected from but with limited success.
Can anyone help?!

Thanks,
Greg

Hi,i’m not new to computer graphics,but I am fairly new to whats going on inside your computer.heh. I come from an animation/modelling background.I have recently taken an interest in particle/fluids and would like to take it more seriously.

Right now I have:

Win7-64bit (recently upgraded)
Intel Core 2 duo
6 GB Ram (recently upgraded from 2gb)
Nvidia Gforce 8600 GT graphics card
ASUS P5W Deluxe motherboard.

I was wondering if this is enough to render millions of particles for short student tests ,15secs maybe (apprentice)

If not what should I look into for the future? and with my current specs,what could I do improve performance in the meantime (until I gather money for the real deal)

I know I may need to get a whole new setup in the future,if someone can point me in the right direction that would be great.

I will be using mostly houdini (for particles)

thankyou for your time.
