Filming digitally
Here are some interesting observations about the advantages of filming movies digitally.
By the way, for anybody interested in movie quality digital cameras, here is a forum about the Red One camera.

It is interesting that the leap the rest of us have experienced in digital cameras is only just now happening for the 'big boys' at cinema.
I remember six years ago when Lars von Trier used 100 miniDV digicams (yes, one hundred cameras) to shoot the musical scenes in Dancer in the Dark. I thought the guy is mad but if it works at all, this will signal the start of the digitalisation of cinema. And it kind of did.
The Red One is delicious. But they need to work out how to configure two of them for stereo work. Perhaps they have already? I guess this will come up in the forum. (Thanks for the link.)
I know this is off the subject, but is Pascal the doctor single? I think he's one of the most elequent speakers on this blog. I've read his posts before and wished that he lived in America. I'd ask him out. Please let me know. I'm bashful.
I think he's one of the most elequent speakers on this blog.
he is actually, but he has a tendency to write extremely long opinions on posts, he likes to say a lot. normally what many of us do is scroll through it and pick out the bullet points, it's easier on the eyes that way. he also claims Jesus as just a cool dude but i don't think he's born-again but there's always hope. he's a nice guy overall, but like i say he's very wordy. you could have approached him yourself. he will speak with you directly, but don't get on his bad side, he can be very, let's say, stubborn. maybe it's because he lives in lebanon and deals with the ongoing needless suffering wars over there. he puts me in mind of alan alda of m.a.s.h. always joking his way through life. you must understand this about him. he often jokes about some of the hospital situations which are in bad taste, but that's part of his make-up, but otherwise he is a good chump. i feel bad for the guy and wish he could simply move away from that terrible land plagued by sin and blood.
Yes, I'm still single, until now. Not that I'm overly picky, but there wasn't much choice where I used to live. Rural Lebanese village... And there were the incidents of life, with its unexpected turns. There are always some unexpected turns along the way.
Your kind words are much appreciated, but being an ocean and two continents apart complicates things more than a little. (Ah well, I don't expect to stay here all my life.)
In any case, Emily Jean, I sense that any man smart enough to try and get to know you will be happy that he did. You sound like a nice person, and you're capable of overcoming your bashfulness when you feel it's worth it (good for you!). I'm not that bold myself, once you take away the keyboard. :-)
It's hard to predict whether we'll ever meet (in person). Whatever happens, me or another, I believe you'll end up with a good man and find your happiness.
In the meantime, we can always talk here on the blog, since you like my conversation. I follow all the threads. Feel free to participate and express your ideas. It's good training for coming out of one's shell. :-)
Be careful, Pascal. She could be an Israelian spy or your next door neighbour trying to discover your identity!
Use the captain for escrow. Ask for a bikini photo with her holding a copy of yesterday's New York Times, and the words "Eolake, please pass this photo to Dr. Pascal, would you be so kind? Note: this photo is not meant for use with the DOMAI website." written on her skin with crayons.
Only, and only then go for it. But proceed with caution. It could still be a setup. In your first correspondence, ask her what she thinks about keeping tigers as pets, and which opera composer is her favourite. Evaluate the answers very carefully. If you suspect anything fishy or insincere, back off immediately.
If I have a pretty neighbour, I'd be interested to find out about her existence.
I have nothing special to hide from an Israelian spy, but let her know right now, I'm not moving with her to a country that's even less safe than Lebanon right now! Israel is in a state of "warm war" since 1968, while my country has its calm periods. Better the evil you know than an unknown one. Still, I hear Sierra Leone is quite pleasant this time of year... If landmines, dust, armed rebels and swarms of cuddly mosquitoes is your idea of pleasant.
I like crayon tattoos. But not nearly as much as chocolate tattoos! Yummie! :-p~
Smart questions, your advice. If she don't like pet tigers, she wouldn't get along with mine, all loving 10 pounds of 'im! (But he happens to like fishy smells. Purrr!)
I don't know what I should think about a potential set-up. I've been praying to be sexually assaulted by a fiery amazon for months now, and still nothing. It's getting so desperate, I'd be ready to date a girl who doesn't whip me on the first date. Really! I know, I know, it must sound quite pathetic...
I hear Israeli "interrogation methods" can get quite kinky. Maybe I should try and get caught beyond the borders. But how can I guarantee I'll be (ahem!) "interrogated" by a Mozart-loving leather-clad dominatrix feline-tamer in a leopard bikini smelling of chocolate and vanilla? I could also end up with a hairy and sweaty short guy without a thread of imagination. Or even worse, a hairy and sweaty short guy WITH imagination! (:-o

Emily,
I've no doubt that Pascal would be a great catch, and that he'll be flattered at least. I've notified him.
I've notified him.
Thank you Mr Stobblehouse :)

Best of luck, buddy!
Thx for the warnings, TTL. ;-)
