This camera has lived a very pampered life. The hour meter displays 105hrs, but I'm sure the transport has less than that actually on it. There's hardly a ding or scratch on the body. The LCD has had a screen protector on it since new (includes 2.35 cinema scope marks). Also will include my...

Me and friend just put this together for a high school project. It isn't completely finished yet. There are a few audio things we want to fix (goofy sound effects for one) And the entire thing is going to end up much more contrasty, but the story and basic image is all there. Thanks for taking...

I just recently got my hands on a Sekonic Auto-Leader Model 38 vintage light meter. The problem is, I have no idea how you are supposed to use it. Is it a reflected or incident meter? If anyone has used this meter or has a manual for it that would be great. Thanks in advance.

I've been having some trouble turning this fairly bland video into something I'm really proud of. I haven't really found any in camera settings that I like much yet so I've been shooting with a fairly factory default F6. I also shot on the 5600k preset. Reason being, I believe if you want...

Anyone else seen this? http://www.cinemek.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=265

Here is a clip from this past weekend. Most of it was shot in 60i (1/120th) then brought into Vegas and slowed to 40% in a 23.976 timeline. Some others were shot at 30p and slowed to 24p. Please feel free to leave feedback on the look as well. Everything is straight off the camera (No CC). I've...

Here's a little 3 minute clip I put together from a visit to the Princeton University campus. The editing is very bland and there's no music so it gets a bit boring. I thought it showed the camera off fairly nicely though so I figured you guys might want to have a look. I really wish I had my...

I have exported a DV-AVI (24p Advanced) file out of Premiere. Now I want to import that into Sorenson Squeeze 4.0 and compress it to a 24p quicktime file for the web. When I import the file and set the framerate to 23.976, the resulting footage looks mildly stuttery. I assume this is because...

http://www.earthworksaudio.com/14.html I recorded a show recently and realized just how inadequate the internal mic on the DVX is. I've decided I want to upgrade, and I want to get the best. I've checked out the Sennheiser and Audio-Technica but I really just haven't been overly satisfied...

Burton Zoom: http://shop.store.yahoo.com/snowshack/buzosnba36l.html Ogio TY Video: http://www.activemailorder.com/ca/111072.htm I've been doing a few searches on the forums and on the internet, but can't seem to come to a good conclusion. My main concern is that my brand new 100b is protected...

I'm planning to shoot up there this winter and am wondering if there is a processing/telecine lab around the area? It'd be great to be able to buy and process film right there. Thanks in advance.

I've noticed a few threads about which cameras are good, but haven't found much of a definitive answer. Mostly due to the fact that people haven't been specific. This winter I'm going to be going up to Whistler for a while and am going to be shooting a snowboard film and I would like to shoot on...

I'm in the market for a DVX100a. Would prefer one with less than 50 hours on the clock, around 2,200 - 2,500 dollars, and with all supplied accessories. It would be easiest to pay through PayPal, but if you would like a different type of payment, I'm willing. I am located in New Hampshire...

So I've been looking into getting a new TV. I want it to be 16:9, preferably CRT, HD, and under a grand. I've been considering this sony. It seems to have everything. 3:2 pull down removal, component inputs. Most TV's I've been looking at seem to be 1080i native? Is there anything out there...

So I've been at the New York Film Academy workshop at Harvard University for the past 3 weeks. I've been shooting on 16mm film but my buddy, who's in the digital program, has been shooting on the DVX100a. His final film is quite good and really makes the DVX look great. I just thought I'd post...
