Hello, Google had organised a series of lectures on various topics. One of which is about photo technology. One could access all these lectures on youtube under the heading "phototech edu". There are around some 32 lectures. I was able to view only a few. I think some lectures are highly t...

Hi Param, Just read the ASC article on Slum Dog yesterday. Its a comprehensive article. They had given the workflow and also the cost of production. Ofcourse, most of them in this site would have read it. Contrary to what I thought and wrote, the production have also used 35 mm film (around 30% of t...

Hi Megh,
Which southern film did you act? Did you by any chance act in a Tam film called 'Anjathe'. By the way thanks for your post on "Method Trained Actor". I was not aware of this.

What happens when you have a camera where you can detach the image registering area (film plane, sensor chip) from the image recording area (magazine, flash drive) through an ethernet cable (that can run upto 20 feet)..hold the image registering meachanism in your hand and carry the image recording ...

Wow, I din't know that F1 and F2 are temporally different. Thanks a lot Param.

I completely agree with you Nikhil...with the advent of digital age, sharing of information and experience had become more accessible and democratic. Well..blu ray is there. Infact, we are going to release one of the carnatic concert we shot for theaterical release on blu ray in couple of days/weeks...

Hi Jabeen,
Welcome on board. It will be wonderful to have some experienced people around. Anyway, u look younger than most of us. I had also joined recently. I think this site is being administered by none other than Param...let me see whether I earn brownie points for my guess..

Thanks Param...I completely agree with you...I had posted a little more on Nikhil's HD anyone..

Sorry Nikhil, I meant H.264 and not HS...

Sure, the development in digital is taking huge strides in a very short time. Infact, NHK has tested a 10K camera recently...and soon everthing would be available in the market and there is no end to what could be achieved. All said and done there is something where it would be difficult for digital...

Another instance which comes to my mind is how he solved synching 7 RED cameras that we used to shoot the concert. Though RED cameras have 'Jam Synch' option to synch with other cameras, it had to be initiated everytime we switch of the camera, which means every time we change the battery or the fla...

I was reading an article about how they had shot a music concert at Amesterdam using nine RED cameras. It was interesting to note that the team experienced technical difficulty of handling 'drop frames' due to the 'pressure' created by the speakers in the Auditorium (a procenium actually). They over...

Yes Mandar, its indeed a great loss. Its extremely ironical that just last week I was discussing about Mr.Sridhar to Amala and how she wanted to work in Chennai. Even more ironical was the the news I heard from friends at his house today. Just last week, it seems he hinted retirement after completin...
