Trailer for a short film shot on DVX. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RQE_zvtZno

the room tone of my audio seems to be a bit noisy because of vents which couldnt be turned off. do final cut or avid have some sort noise gate control which will cut the hiss and leave the audio from the actors at a good level?

i'm doing a film noir spoof, using a dvx. i did something similar before, using film but i'm worried that video will just look grainy in low light instead of giving nice shadows. any way around this?

i recently shot a short film on my dvx in letterbox, framing shots knowing that in post i'd have a little bit of room to add thicker bars (i dont like the look of skinny bars) i will edit as though i've shot in 4:3. am i right in assuming this? also i shot the film at 1/50 shutter spead, am i...

i bought some fuji tapes for my dvx. they make good film but are their miniDVs decent?

i was wondering what is the best shutter spead to use when shooting 24pa on a 100b. the manual says either 1/50 or 1/60 is best, but in another thread a guy said most films are shot at 1/48. i wont be shooting any fast action sequences, just natural movement. any advice? thanks.

hi, i'm new to this forum and i'm looking to buy a dvx100a. i'm debating on buying a used dvx off ebay from electronixmax (understanding what buying from ebay entails) or buying a 100b new from buydig. the problem with buydig is that they won't ship to canada and i'd have to worry about customs...
