Re: FTII to be turned into Global FIlm School?

Should it be difficult to get the study conducted by Hewitt?....I think anyone (any citizen of India) can file an application under The Right to Information Act and get their hands on the study and as well as the Terms of Reference (TOR) by which the study was commissioned by the Ministry.

Re: Variable Shutters and Flickers

Hi Nikhil,
I was not able to post the reply without getting some numbers jumbled up due to the formatting in this site. I had attached the reply as 'Hi Nikhil'. Please refer to that. I think you will find your answer there.

Re: Is RED ONE really as good as they hype?

Thanks a lot for sharing this Param. Its very articulate and puts in perspective a lot of digital stuff which existed in fragments. Probably I am reading a very comprehensive article long time after I read the ASC's 2 part 'Colour Space Conundrum'.

I think there should not be a need to elaborate the role that a shutter plays in the film camera. Shutters, linked with the intermitte...
