Most people today probally don't remember this each year but I feel it is an imporant day for all americans...

no I don't own a light meter so just trying to use alittle guess work and get it close. So maybe I should move the light clsoer to the subject when filming with a single 560watt light ? sounds so. so a wider aperture is what I though too when watching the movie, it looked like some scary movie with ...

Since I don't own a super 8 camera I will have to vote on reg 8mm. My 2 favorite cameras that I use would be my Bolex B8 and Bolex S-1. the S-1 while not popular produces great reg 8mm footage, and it's easy to use with a good feel to it. The B8 is also a great camera for filming small compact and w...

Projector bulb question

Here's a question for someone that can answer it. What is the proper way to clean a projector bulb if you were to say get oils from your hand on it ? Would plain old glass cleaner work to remove the oils ?
thanks
