I'll be shooting a micro-budget feature-length movie soon and am looking for a very inexpensive lighting solution for indoor scenes. I am more concerned with shooting quickly than perfecting the lighting. I received a recommendation that I should just get a couple flourescent construction lights...

Are the settings in Scene File 6 for the dvx100a/b good for 30p? Or should I just use standard settings (F1) and change to 30p?

Hi all, Check out the trailer for The Castro Quartette at the following link: www.thecastroquartette.com I shot with one camera (DVX 100b), a bogen/manfrotto tripod system, and a Rode NTG-2 shotgun mic. Right now, we are submitting the short to festivals. Hope you enjoy! - Nick

Hi, I'll be recording my first live music performance in a few days with 2 cams (both DVX100b). The venue is a low-lit club. I'm planning on putting one of my cams on a tripod for a master shot of the stage and having another camera operator on-stage recording handheld close-ups. I'm also hoping...

I've read a few different threads now discussing challenges with 24pa editing inn FCP (especially if one intends to include 60i slow motion footage). Rather than at the problem point, I'm trying to decided whether to shoot in 24p or 20pa on my dvx100b, given that I will be editing in FCP...

I recently purchased my DVX100B camera and it came with a stock Panasonic tape (AY-DVM63AMQ). I've heard that you should stick with 1 type(brand) of tape because of chemical issues. Is this true? If so, which brand/type of tape do you suggest I should use. Thanks.

I recently bought a dvx100b and want to know what crucial maintenance gear I should invest in now for long-term camera protection. I already have a Pelican 1510 hard case. Beyond the case, any recommendations on maintenance essentials?

I recently purchased a DVX100b for shooting short fiction. Filming will be both outside/inside, but mostly indoor, small space (e.g. - apartments). The script material is very dialogue-driven, so I'm thinking mic "directionality" will be important as I attempt to capture close-up conversation...
