Congratulations. You've just won Indy Mogul.
Again, Thanks For posting so Early!
You Rock Steve!
Great Tip's!
MUST GET GELS!
And lights...and a working editing program, and good sound...and a date...
i need a dateto
Cool, thanks for the tips and ideas.
On a small scale - for stop motion - I found Baking paper works well as a diffuser with desk lamps and won't burn. :)
Great job on this episode! Really useful.
Great episode and a cool shirt
Good episode.
Steve, please don't murder me and my entire family.
(I have a very busy weekend planned and murders tend to be such a hassle with the crime scene and what not.)
Thanks!
Angie is a freakin' cutie!
hey, why haven't I seen Angie before. I like Steve but Angie is hot! She needs to be on camera more.
that comment sounds kinda gay

I learned about c-47s at Kamp Hollywood (yes it's supposed to be spelled with a "K")
PIEBALDDD!!!!!!!!

I know...but their last show in NYC was so amazing, that I am now able to let them go.
They used my Forum post!
HOO-YAH!
Steve, where can i get gels?
Theatrical supply houses have them...
You might check the yellow pages to see if there's a Smith-Victor, Rosco, or large photo store in your area.
Some of the online houses can sell and ship, if I'm not mistaken, like B&H, 47th Street Photo, or one of the others...
Cheers!
Where (or how) can you get gels for the florescent lighting rig??
That's partially a question of size (big enough gel to cover the rig) and partially a question of color (fluorescent to daylight conversion is bluish, much like tungsten to daylight).
A simpler solution for fluorescent lighting is to get a fluorescent filter for your camera. Check the size of the filter threads on your lens front, and you can get the filter at a photo store or on eBay (where I got mine).
Cheers!
great episode! =D
Hi guys, I have an awesome site called www.freewebs.com/comicman32. Alot of people visit it (check my guest book) I am sponsering you guys!! P.S. Comment my guest book
Oh man, I'm gonna be so pissed when steve kills both me and my family. Great ep :)
would you mind doin an in depth on how to do the day to night thing? we have no lighting supplies and want our movie to be at night, but with out lighting supplies it would look like poo. so a comment on how to do that would be pricelessly useful.
