I'm working on a promotional video for Kessler Crane (www.kesslercrane.com) and I thought I'd check DVXUSER and see if anyone has any clips they'd like to share in the DVD. I was actually first recommended by someone on this site to buy a Kessler Crane a few years ago and I've been really happy...

Has anyone had experience with making a tripod shot look shaky and handheld? I figure this is pretty easy in either FCP or After Effects but I didn't know if there was a plugin or something that can create it rather quickly and randomly. Again, I'm asking before I give it a shot, I know I have a...

I guess I'm missing something here....what exactly comes with the Firestore FS-100-160? Do I need to buy an additional battery or charger? What would I need to make sure its charged for 5 hours or so in the field? Thanks!

I've got a shoot coming up and I'm looking to get a frame made that has a cut-out of a client's logo. Basically I'd put it over the light and then project their logo on the wall. What the name of that frame called? I need to find a company that makes them. THX!

Obviously the FS1OO has a lot more space, 160gb, but I've also been reading some bad things about it. I was wondering what some of you who has purchased the FS100 think of it and its reliability, etc. Thanks!

I've heard horror stories of guys traveling to Canada to film and be refused entry with their equipment. I know they'd prefer companies to hire Canadian crews. I'll be traveling to Toronto w/ a US based company and I'll be paid by them. Do I need to get some sort of a visa or work permit to film...

I was just wondering what the going rate was for DVD authoring and/or how you charge for it, by the minute, how many menus, etc. It'll be a dvd for a company that has several products to sell, etc. Thanks!

Has anyone ever had any trouble with their headphone jack not working? Any ideas on who to get to look at it? Thanks!

Hey guys, I just booked a pretty good sized gig for a documentary that would require traveling for about a month and shooting at various locations. My first probelm is to figure out the best way the shoot this in 720 and save the files. I'm trying to limit the amount of gear I take and also the...

Just getting some professional advice here. I got a call about a gig that requires travel for about a week and a half. (There will also possibly be another week and a half shoot as well as editing this project.) Anyways, he wants to know my rates. While I offer both day and hourly rates on...

I've got an idea that a client and I talked about but I'm not sure where to start. I'll explain it and what I'm planning to do, please let me know if I'm heading in the right direction on this. The idea is to be traveling down a road in AE using an animated camera. Then stop and look over at a...

This is just a 30 second sample of a music video I shot this past weekend. The band wants this footage to edit into a commercial for an upcoming concert. The gear in the video, lights, computer, etc., is part of the storyline I'm going to shoot so don't let it throw you. Please let me know what...

Hey guys, I'm looking to the experts on this site for a little last minute help. I've got a shoot for a music video Saturday night on a rooftop in a downtown location. I don't own much lighting so I'll need to rent something from a local company. What do you guys reccommend? Should I go with...
