SD was for ease of storage and ease of editing. To power HMIs with magnetic balasts you need crystal sync generator howvever if your HMis have electronic balats you can use regular ones. There are queite generators so the sound shouldn't the that bad still it's always good to placem them far and around the coners.

Thanks, for the info. I definitely want to overlap a weekend to cut down on cost.
Suggestions on generators? I have never had to deal with one before. Are there any tricks to keep it from interfering with the sound.
Why did you decide to shoot SD on that camera?

the adpter with camera and the lenses will run you about $700/day so it's healy to shoot over the weekend. If You pay 3x day rate you het the camera rig for a week.

pr2, I am putting together a short film right now and really wasn't considering digital, but these shots look great. Those stills are taken from the footage? Any other information you can provide on the lens adapter and what you used for lighting?
Nice work. Also, any advice on finding a talented DP such as yourself?

well i'l be hones with you with the rental prices of Min35 droping there is really no resaon simply not to rent Mini35 with real film lenses. The Mini35 people got it right nd solved all the isses and since you are working with reall 35mm film glass you get the best uality possible. Here we went for M2 because the AC was coming with it so we didn't have to waste our money on insurance.

those shots are fun when you write your own banter between them.

very nice patrick, the M2 looks great! I've made 4 adapters and they roughly run the same cost as a complete unit. Do you get the same kind of results shooting in HD?

he probably also thinks that in the last still he is successfully hiding his erection with that pillow, however, she knows all about it, the question is - what happens next?

He probably thinks buttoning up will impress the girl and cover up his stoned look, but it doesn't.

continuity error: I find it hard to believe that someone would do up their shirt buttons on coming into a warm apartment from sitting in the cold with the button undone.
