How to stop light flickering in movies

Mar 26, 2005 10:23AM PST

Hello to whom ever can help, Im currently using a panasonic mini dv camcorder with 3ccd and I'm trying to film in a dark room and attempting to shoot a movie screen, the colors are fine the only problem is that I'm getting flickering light going from dark to light really fast consistently through out my movie. What can I do to correct this problem?

Trying to film a movie in a darkened theatre is not what

camcorders were intended to do, and sounds both illegal and unethical. Perhaps you should provide more explanation of what you are doing.

It does sound like you are asking for help is shooting some movie in a theater. If so, you won't get any help here.

Pirates flame out fast in these forums.

FYI, you can't get rid of the flickering. So just wait for the movie to come out on DVD and buy it.
