Here's something a little different: http://www.slantyhouseproductions.com/Sequence%203.mov My old college friend was visiting a few weeks ago and we decided to do something interesting with our combined skill sets. He's a brilliant puppet maker, so we decided to shoot a scene from David...

Hey all-- Another piece of very nice equipment that is not getting any real use with me, due to my larger role in post work. This is the original "M2 Indie Bundle" that includes the 35 mm adapter, HD lens, 15mm rods and the Canon EOS lens mount (can be changed out, with other lens mounts)...

I'm selling my Focus FS-100 drive, complete with Additional High Capacity Battery. The Unit is in excellent condition with no real visable wear to speak of. I purchased this in the fall of 2006 and have used it for 4 interviews. I'm doing a lot more post than shooting these days, so I really...

Does anyone know if the HVX variable frame rates will work with FS-100. I own the FS-100 and have tried using variable frame-rate with a 72024p/filmcam setting. It doesn't seem to work when I playback from FS-100. The downside with the FS-100 is it doesn't (Yet) register 72024PN: Does HVX...

Anyone know when Focus Enhancements is releasing the 3.0 firmware for the FS-100? I've seen "middle of the fourth quarter" posted in a few press-releases, but no date. Thanks!

Here's a quickie I made from my first outing with the HVX. Love that variable frame rate! Shot 720/24 at a VFR of 60 fps. Super duper QT http://www.slantyhouseproductions.com/clientfiles/JACKHVXLAN264.mov Lousy Win 9 http://www.slantyhouseproductions.com/clientfiles/JACKHDSUNDAYWIN.wmv enjoy!

Another quick Q. about the firestore 100: has anyone used the camera mount kit that is being sold for this model. Prices seem to averge at about $115.00. I haven't been able to see any photos are get a better description of it. I'm seriously considering the Firestore 100 for my new HVX and I...

Hi All--I'm happy to now be an official HVX owner. I've held off on P2's because I usually shoot alone, and I just can't see the loop/dump method working for me. I'm about to swallow hard and put another 2K on the biz credit card for the Firestore 100, but I had a question. I understand the...

I'm upgrading to the HVX and selling my DVX100a. I have a few extra batts for the DVX but I don't want to sell them if they'll work with the HVX. I'm putting the DVX on ebay today but won't take delivery of HVX til tomorrow. Thanks!

Hey there-- I've got a Glidecam 2000 with a Bogen 577 QR plate. I get alot of slipping and sliding between the QR adapter plate and the base plate of the GlideCam (a standard mounting screw connects the glidecam with the QR adapter plate) I'm think a thin rubber skin, or something would...

Has anyone attempted to capture HD footage on the HVX with the capture feature in FCP? I am interested in purchasing the camera, as well as the firestore unit that will be coming down the line. Until the firestore is released, however, I thought I'd shoot some interviews with the camera hooked...

Sometimes you just have to swallow hard and ask a stupid question: So if I shoot in HD 720p, am I shooting in 4:3 as opposed to 16:9? Since so much output will initially still be delivered in SD, I want to match the HD footage as closely as possible to, say client provided footage, that is...

I am a DVX 100a user and love the camera. Im not crazy however, about its limited color space, and often cringe at the tiny arifacting occuring on my interview subjects. Ive begun considering renting a higher end camera to shoot interview sequences. I use the DVX, because I shoot almost...

I often shoot outdoor shots with two filters: tiffen 812 warming, and a circular polarizer. The results are often beautiful (shot on my DVX 100A) but in shots looking to close to the sun (for nice flare effects) I end up with a reflection of the camera lense off the filters. I'm not sure if...

I've been looking for a remote zoom/focus device for the DVX with no success. I currently use a Varizoom remote for zoom, which is great, but I can't find one for the DVX that will also control focus. Can anyone shed any light on this? I often work with the camera off the tripod and like to...
