I made this recently:
http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?t=126503
All I did was shoot normally (I think it was shutter off, and 24pa, slight adjustments to fstop/ND filters) and then just sped it up in post.
If you were shooting film or the HVX, obviously you could just opt for a lower framerate, but with the DVX this isn't an option. You won't get all the cool motion blur (ala cars on the freeway at night type timelapses) but you can still get some good shots.
Take a look at my video, I shot normally and then just sped it up a bunch in post till I got what I wanted.
(Just as an fyi, the stuff I shot was about 20-30 minutes before being shortened into the timelapse)
Hope that helps!

If you have the DVX DVD theres a formula in it for tetting slower framerates.

Really? That's awesome! I've been meaning to buy the DVX book/dvd... maybe now that I just got $100 back from uncle sam I can finally get it.
