Shooting in RAW <3. It really is a must if you want to get better looking lighting than what the presets give you.
Yeah, I am using a DSLR (Canon 550D with a Helios 44 2 58mm f/2 lens, to be exact). I have basically zero experience with post-production editing (although I've really been wanting to close this gap in my knowledge--I do have a free copy of HitFilm that I got in a promotion, but I've yet to find a good opportunity to use it), so I'm not really sure if shooting in RAW would be all that beneficial to me at this point. I don't think I'd have the experience to Effectively use RAW to its full potential (considering I barely know how to use GIMP and don't even have PhotoShop) and I have a tight-ish deadline for this film, so I want to save time where possible. Basically I want to get this film done by early February at the latest, and it'll be 10 minutes or more by my current calculations and I've barely started animating (I'll be applying for a film course, and I intend to use this film as part of my portfolio). (If someone could conveniently teach me all about computers and digital editing, that would be grrrrrrrrrreat....)
Still, I might have to re-shoot what I've animated so far (which isn't too much), thanks to camera bumps and suchlike.
