The 35mm film version sounds good.  The Silver Screen edition sounds nice too (like in the trailer).

Newer DSLR's don't have manual focus???  Is that true? 

 

we are using the canon hack software for control.

all the newer 10 and 12 megapixel and up cameras don't

allow for manual exposure without autofocus.

What model camera are you using? My new Canon 500d DSLR definitely has the option  of manual exposure without autofocus.

we're not using a DSLR. we're using the point and shoot models

like this powershot:

also, it has to work with this software:

which allows the camera to be controlled via scripting

and timing parameters.

 

there's no point in shooting at higher megapixels, because the

disk space, and rendering time, along with resizing and scaling

make it much harder. also the difference when you render down

to 1080p isn't really that noticeable. only when you are working

with 10 bit raw files, and different color process is where the

workflow makes an impact.
