Response to SHooting DV

from kalunga (kalungalima@hotmail.com)
Hi Craig I'm living in Europe trying to do very much the same sort of thing you are. Here are a few suggestions: 1. Shoot DV with the transfer to film already in mind. The last issue of RES has an excellent article on that.

2. Test, test, test. We do it in film all the time but not in video.

3. Talk to a transfer house before you shoot. They've seen all sorts of results and can tell you (and show you) what works best.

4. Consider shooting with a PAL DV camera. They have higher resolution and run at 25 frames per second (almost) like film. But you must find out if you can edit PAL where you are.

5. I use the AVID a lot because i have access to one, it's a great machine, but otherwise it's overkill for offline work (especially if you have to pay for it). I suggest the old fashion way: making a VHS dub with the time code burnt in, logging everything properly, paper edit, offline VHS edit and then going to the AVID.

With your budget you use w
