Re: How would you start a local club

Hi John, You might want to check out the next 'Shooters in the Pub' monthly meet at the Picture House in Exeter, for potential interested film makers. The Exeter meet is the nearest 'Shooters' meet to you, but you will probably find people there who live closer to you, and who would be interested in...

Re: Newbie with questions!

Just to add, as conductor 'cross sectional area' has been brought up, and to avoid any confusion : The cross sectional area of a 1.25mm diameter conductor can be calculated using the formula 'Pi X r squared' Thus : 3.142 X 0.625sqd = 1.227 sq mm. As you can see, this figure is well above the 1.0 sq ...

Re: Newbie with questions!

JIm, I am assuming you have measured your old extension lead cable correctly (the measurements are the diameters of the conductors and not the conductors plus the red and black plastic insulation around them. This being the case then we can first use Ohms law to work out the current flow for your 15...

Re: Green screen and chroma keying

Can anyone explain why, after I’ve filmed a subject against a green screen and then chroma-keyed it onto a video background, the edges of the inserted subject becomes blurred and, in general, the subject itself loses its original sharpness? No matter how much I adjust the chroma-keyer controls (Col...
