Hello, I currently have a film in development and we are trying to prepare ahead for some of the logistics (micro budget film). We will be potentially shooting with the AF100 and/or GH2 and we were looking at using two HD computer monitors on set for the camera feed so that the director can...

Hello everyone, I found a post from a couple years ago regarding what it was like to work with York, and Maverick for distributing their films. The general consensus seemed to be recommending that you produce the film for $5,000 and sell it to Maverick for $20,000. That post was from 2008 and...

About a week ago on a shoot, our HVX200 got bumped into a wall and the battery popped off of it. Upon closer inspection, I could see that the battery was actually ripped off, and that the four plastic tabs that hold the battery in place have become stressed and cracked and will come off at any...

Hello all, I had the opportunity to view the independent film "Deadland" at the Delray Beach Film Festival last weekend and I just wanted to say to the film makers that it was a great job well done! I was particularly interested in this film because it was shot with the HVX200 with the RedRock...

Hey all! I work part time at Dolphin Stadium in the video department, and the other night during the Marlins game, a small crew came with Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson to shoot a quick scene for their new film "Marley and Me". They shot the scene during an inning break in which they...

Hey all, I was just wondering if you have two P2 cards in the camera, and you are shooting a take and the first card fills and recording goes to the second card....is there a way to make that all one clip in Avid or does it only have to be two clips split between the two cards? I'm just...

Has anyone used these or have any experience with this? http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/460224-REG/Audio_Technica_ATW_1821D_ATW_1821_Dual_Wireless.html We are looking to get a decent wireless mic setup within reasonable pricing and this caught my eye.

Hello, We are looking at some LCD screens for our HVX and wondered if I could get some opinions. The standard seems to be the marshall screen, and it looks pretty good though it costs a little bit more than we are prepared to spend right now. Panasonic has an 8" one and it looks great...

Hi all, I know this must be a VERY novice question, but I am wondering what is meant by a lens being "fast". These are not video lenses, but what makes a lens fast? Also I just purchased the Letus35 Extreme and am looking for some recommendations for some good lenses. Thank you.

Hey all, I apologize if this has been asked before or is common knowledge, but my company just purchased the HVX200 a week ago and we are exploring the option of the Red Rock lens. We just heard that the reason the Red Rock is so cheap compared to other adapters is that the image is recorded...

Hi, when you shoot with 1080 on the HVX200, are you shooting real 1080 or is it 720 upconverted?

I am putting the P2 card into my laptop PCMCIA slot and it recognizes new hardware but can't seem to find a suitable driver. I tried the disk that came with the HVX200 but it doesn't work, and I downloaded the Panasonic P2 Viewer software from their site. The only way I can open the P2 Cards...

Hello. My company got the HVX camera on Friday and we fell in love with it already. One problem though we are having is when we are using Avid Media Composer, we transcode to the hard drive of our editor, the HD footage plays back stuttering. We figure it is either an issue of RAM (we...
