HVX book coming soon!

Does anyone know if I can purchase the DVX Book by itself without the DVD ?

Maria

[scannon]

Maria:

I would send Barry Green a direct PM and ask as I believe they come as a set. But I would tell you the DVD is very valuable especially the review of the DVX scene file settings. The DVD provides on screen visuals of what happens when you change gamma pre-sets, matrix, master ped, detail, etc. This section is worth a lot in understanding their use for tweaking your video output.

I personally refer to this quite often as I experiment with different scene set-ups.

Best regards,

S Cannon

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

they're a set ... but why would you want just the book when you have the opportunity to see real examples????

(unless you have a of the DVD already and lost your book or something)

[Maria]

that's exactly what happened. I have the DVD but lost the book.

Maria

[Maria]

to my previous post, I forgot to ask, does anyone know how to get in touch w/Barry?

Maria

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

just PM him :)

hard to believe but he walks among us ...

Is it possible to buy it retail in New York, or only online. I checked B&H and they don't sell it seperately.

[Barry_Green]

Yes, Abel Cine Tech in NYC stocks it, and Hello World also bought a lot of copies so they should have it as well.

[Claude Isbell]

Thanks, appreciate it.

Claude

I bought my DVX end of Feb from B&H but didn't get any of the
rebate info included, so haven't sent in for it yet.
Is the book/DVD still included in the rebate package?
Do you have to submit a different form from the $400 rebate
paperwork to get the book?

[Barry_Green]

There should have been a letter in the box that tells you how to get it... it doesn't come packaged in the box anymore.

[RandyRosenthal]

How can we get a copy quicker than 7 days? We have a shoot week after next with the HVX and would love to use the DVD as we do tests next week.

Thanks!

[Barry_Green]

All orders are sent within 24 hours. Add $10 (to paypal @ fiftv dot com) and I'll upgrade shipping to express mail, which should get it to you within two days.

[flowolf]

Barry, just ordered my 100BE from B&H but the PAL version does not include the rebate, Magic Bullet or your book/DVD.
Is the book also aimed at PAL-users?

[nenaD]

I'm a PAL DVX100B user who got Barry's Guide, and since I'm novice to the field, I treasure every bit of it. My DVD player is a multizone-multisystem which allows me to watch NTSC ready disks.
DVX100BE-urope version is slightly different from a DVX100BA-merica and I find it correctly stressed out in a guide. In my opinion, it's an american product with enough global sensitivity to be found acceptable elsewhere.
I just tried on my Macintosh to reproduce the DVD in order to make my comment more complete and it worked.

[pud]

There should have been a letter in the box that tells you how to get it... it doesn't come packaged in the box anymore.

there was no information in the box regarding the book.
There was also no paperwork for the rebate.
I will call B &H for the rebate paperwork. Should I contact
Panasonic about the book paperwork?
I'm itching to get my hands on that book and DVD.
I'm using the camera, but I'd like to really learn how to make
the most of what the camera has to offer.

[Barry_Green]

The PAL cameras don't offer the bundling deal.

If you got an official authorized US unit from B&H, it should have included the paper that tells you how to get the book/DVD from Panasonic for free. If you bought a demo unit or a gray-market unit (B&H occasionally sells those but usually identifies them as such) then no such paperwork would be included. You may have to send a PM to Jan Crittenden to verify your serial number to make sure you have a valid US-authorized unit.

I was very specific when I purchased the camera with B&H, asking that
the camera would not be PAL and that it would have a valid US warranty.
Also that the rebate would apply.
I paid full price. If I wanted grey market, I would have purchased at a less
reputable seller. In fact, B&H would not match Beach or Willoughby's
prices because they said they were not reputable.

Is Jan Crittenden's email address available on this site?

[earache]

Hey everybody, I bought a DVX100A last year and I have the book but not the DVD. So two questions:

- Is there any way I can buy just the DVD, to go with my book? Or,

- Would anyone like to EITHER buy my book OR sell me their DVD? My book is for the DVX100 and 100A, but not updated for 100B.

Thanks

[vocare]

Ship the book and dvd to singapore.
especially to border..this book should be sold in singapore.

[Barry_Green]

Actually I've had several customers from Singapore. If you know of any dealers who want to carry it, let me know. Otherwise, Singapore customers have just ordered direct.

by the way, i got the book already.
This book is very helpful .
i think the dvx user should order it.

[Kyle Stebbins]

i registered my dvx with panasonic and it told me i was going to receive a copy of the book... does this mean it will come with the dvd as well?

[macintosh]

Yes, the dvx book comes paired with the dvd.

HVX book coming soon!

NEW HERE etc. ...
I bought a the dvx100be (PAL) from B&H because I'm a film student from Israel.
I bought it all "KOSHER" and legit.
I understood that the book can still help me so I would love getting it.
Does the rebate still applicable at this time or should I have gotten anything with the package I bought (something I had to send or register).
I could realy use the book but rather get what I deserve before spending my 70$ (Which I will still spend if there's no other choice - I have 98$ left in my wallet after buying the camera and before going back home).
Thanks men,
I'll be here for a while :).
Omer Ninyo.

[Barry_Green]

The free offer is sponsored by Panasonic USA, who gives free copies to USA residents who buy a USA model; you're not a USA resident and you got a PAL model so unfortunately you wouldn't qualify for a free copy from Panasonic USA.

[oninyo]

Thanks, it was strait to the point with no possible mistakes - just makes me wanna get your book even more...
And I'm guessing that as previously mentioned the book will still be a great instructional experience despite my obvious disadvantages (though I am a part time resident)?!

[imageonepictures]

Hello,

If I order this say this Wednesday. When will I receive it? I am in Canada? I want to get this before Xmas.

Chris

[Barry_Green]

Orders usually go out within 24 hours. The problem with Canada is that the US Postal Service's deliveries to Canada seem exceptionally slow; I can send one to Germany in four days, but to Canada it takes usually a minimum of 12, and usually 14 days. So if you order it I'll get it out immediately, but we'll be at the mercy of the US and Canadian postal services as to how soon it actually arrives; expect at least two weeks.

[greenhorn]

I have just got a new AG-"DVX100b and I am looking for your book but with no luck.
I live in Modesto CA, so is there a place around here that carries it, or do you have an address so I can buy it online?
Greenhorn

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

In lieu of being able to pick one up around the corner ... just click the "more info and to purchase" link at the top of the page :beer:

Barry's book/dvd is the best feature of the DVX, IMHO, and that's saying a lot as the cam is packed with a ton of bar raising features.

[bustak]

The book & DVD is excellent! A must have for a DVX user!

I'm wondering if Barry would consider putting out a couple of DVD's of the DVX bootcamp, like he did for the HVX bootcamp DVD's.

Just a suggestion! If so put me down for an order!

[imageonepictures]

Hey,

Got my book today. Did not take as long as I thought. It looks very thorough and the DVD looks quite good.

Chris

[AJSwin]

Recieved book today, followed 30 mins later by the delivery of my very own gorgeous georgeous DVX100b. The book is expensive but invaluble, therefore expensive soon turns to value for money. Thank you Barry and all who compiled the book.

[chiohkeh]

Is paypal the only payment option at this time? I refuse to use paypal due to some technical difficulties i have had with them as a seller in the past. I use google checkout now instead. I would love to know if there is another way... thanks!

[Barry_Green]

No, you can also order off of Amazon, or from B&H or Abel Cine Tech or Birns & Sawyer. Any of them should be able to take credit cards.

[Sven]

Great book Barry. Really enjoyed the breakdown of the scene files

[TowerFan]

Whoa, what a book! Great job Barry! I found the video showing all of the Scene File settings particulary useful. Hard to describe all the subtle differences with words. Best $70 I ever spent!

HVX book coming soon!


I got my $500 Panasonic rebate, but the DVD and book never came. Does anyone know what I'm supposed to do? I applied for it online a month ago

[fenigirl]

Barry,I notice your sig says NC. Do you still sell them from your company and can I order one from you directly? I am only one state away. Would be sending MO. Thanks.

[greenhorn]

Although I have not received the $500.00 rebate, nor the training DVD from Panasonic yet, I did go and buy the books and DVD, which was one of the best things that I have done!
Not having a camera with this type of power left me in the dark, but Berry;s book and DVD has really help, I can say that I have had noting but fun with it all.
thanks berry!!
greenhorn.

[Carmen Neely]

Yeah, I'm thinking about buying the book and DVD now too. I just got my camera on Tuesday and can't imagine waiting months to get the book/DVD.

Anyone know how long it's taking to get the book/dvd and Magic Bullet now?

I am not sure how long it takes to get all that, but I can say that it is too long to wait.
Got my book and DVD from amazon.com in a couple of days and it was the best thing I did, besides getting the 100B.
I have also checked out Amazon.com for more books and got them also.
Haveing all kinds of fun!!!

[Carmen Neely]

Yep, I think I'll order it today. What do you think of Magic Bullet?

[greenhorn]

I just got my book, dvd and magic bullet program, so I haven't had a chance to use it yet.
Bought my book and dvd in Jan. so I could start learning the camera to it's full power, which is a lot.
On the dvd you will learn how to set the camers , scene files, to come very close to magic bullet.
Before I got the book, I was going to spend a lot of money for filters, but that would have been money out the door!
Like I said, THIS CAMERA HAS A LOT OF POWER, all you have to do is learn and experiment with it.
HAVE A GREAT DAY AND HAVE FUN LEARNING.

HVX book coming soon!

Is the HVX book here yet?

EP

[Barry_Green]

It's been here for nearly two years. :)

[HenryDee]

Just wanted to say thanks to Barry for creating such an informative video. I chose not to go to film school and sites like DVXuser and books like Barry's are what's making it possible for me to learn. Really enjoyed the sections on panning and what not, the whole seven second rule was new to me....Im going to have to get some more books for other tidbits like that one.

Anyone whose new to film making and new to the DVX, this book is a must it will really help. Saves a lot of time instead of searching around the net hoping for answers.

Thanks for making such an informative DVD and book Mr. Green : )

Henry.

[H-Man]

Hi Barry,My name is Scott and was wanting to purchase your book and DVD but am fairly new to all the technical dide of things and you would use NTSC and i use (In Australia) PAL and was wondering if 1. You post to Australia and 2. is all your descriptions in NTSC and not PAL and does it matter ? Look farward to hearing from you Regards Scott Holwell
Could you reply to my email if possible sholwell@yahoo.com thanks!

[Barry_Green]

1) Yes I send to Australia, but you may also be able to find it at some dealers in Australia already -- including John Barry, Lemac, and VideoGuys.

2) I tried to cover NTSC and PAL equally.

[Hawk Teflon]

Are there different versions of this, or just the one? Is there one that only covers the 100, one that covers the 100 and 100a, and then this one?

[semila58]

Are there different versions of this, or just the one? Is there one that only covers the 100, one that covers the 100 and 100a, and then this one?

The book covers all three models, and the PAL and NTSC versions.

[Barry_Green]

There were two versions. The original, then an updated version that added the DVX100B. The early version hasn't been in print for years, the only version offered is the one that includes the DVX100, DVX100A, and DVX100B (both PAL and NTSC).

[Hawk Teflon]

Is there a way to order WITHOUT paypal? I kinda hate them. My account is banned because someone in Russia logged into it. Anyhoo, is there another way? I didn't see anywhere.

[Luigi]

Hello from snowy Canada. Does anyone market your book locally?

[makini]

Mr. Green, how much would it coast me if I wanted the book to be mailed to Tanzania (East Africa) Please E-mail me back through soulmakini@yahoo.com

[Tradeco]

Hi- any chance on purchasing just he DVD?

[Barry_Green]

If you'd like, we could arrange that; send a PM.

[shadowfever]

My problem is that I have the book but not the DVD. Any suggestions. Can I buy just the DVD?

[Lucere]

Hey Barry :) Is there going to be a lighting dvd in the near future?

[Barry_Green]

Yes.

:D

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

He said "near" future Barry :)

[Barry_Green]

Depends on what your definition of "near" is... :thumbsup:

[Lucere]

YIKES!

You're one of my primary cyber-mentors :) and I'm hoping it becomes available before I begin shooting/directing a zero-budge feature early October... If not, I guess I'll just have to apply what knowledge you have to offer to my following project :)

[Barry_Green]

It'll be out by Christmas.


(notice I didn't say what YEAR...) :evil:

[Lucere]

Oh man, priceless! Well I do know you're a thorough and diligent person and am eagerly looking forward to it, when it's ready... Thanks for the heads up on the year :)

[Barry_Green]

At this pace, it'll take a year just to watch it... :P

[kyleb]

do any bookstores carry the dvd's ?

[Barry_Green]

Dealers include Abel Cine Tech, B&H, Birns & Sawyer, CineQuipt, Specialized Communications... some of the books are carried in B&N College Bookstores. Not yet in general bookstores.

[snide]

COOL!!! Just ordered my DVX100B not 30 minutes ago! Complete Newbie here, this book and video is sure to be a HUGE help!!

Gonna order asap!!

[Lucere]

Barry, any updates on the lighting DVD?

[Barry_Green]

We hope to have it out before the Scarlet. It's a race! :D

Hi Guys

Want to purchase both DVD's.....INternational shipping ..... but it says 'Currently Unavailable"

Any ideas why?

Tim

[Barry_Green]

I just tried it and it works... don't know why you're having issues. If you can't make it work though, try ordering from amazon.

[Sargent]

Im looking here...

http://dvxuser.com/articles/hvxdvd/

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

That's for the HVX DVDs

this thread is DVX book / DVD
buy here if that's what you want:
http://www.dvxuser.com/articles/dvxbook

[Barry_Green]

Ah. I thought you were looking at the DVX Book order page.

Interesting... I went over to www.hvxtraining.com (http://www.hvxtraining.com), they're also saying "unavailable". Likely just waiting for Volume II discs to come in. But that's odd; I have some Volume II discs so even if WBS is out, we could definitely get you an order. I'll send David Jimerson a PM with your info.

[David Jimerson]

We currently don't offer Vol II or the HVX BootCamp bundle on a regular basis, but PM me and something can be arranged. We don't have many left and have no plans to repopulate it.

[Sargent]

Sorry, Yeah I was getting confused.

Anyway, I just ordered the HVX book with international shipping.

Cant wait to get it!

[whiskeyred]

New owner of the HPX-170 and received B. Green's HVX/HPX book upon on purchase. Of the other offered products, books/dvds what is essential for a new owner?

[Sargent]

Just got the book, looks good. Thanks. And decent shipping too.... well done USPS/Royal Mail ;)

[LATIF]

As soon as I heard about them, I ordered them. Better than what I expected. I actually invested in my lighting kit after I watched Lighting for Film and TV. I also purchased and watched Sound for Film and TV and will be purchasing my sound kit in another week. Thanks guys!

[David Jimerson]

Thanks for that! Glad you got a lot out of them.
