I've searched the forums for a similar issue to what I'm experiencing but couldn't find anything. I apologize in advance if this has been covered. I'm currently attempting to update the firmware on my AG-HVX200 to support a new 32 gig E-Series P2 card. I've formatted the card in the 2 gig SD...

Hey guys, Just wanted to point you in the direction of a 30 minute short film I made using the HVX. We started shooting it last September and only just finally finished it and put it online. It was initially meant to be a 10 minute short but just kept growing over time and ended up being put on...

Hello, Not sure if anybody else has experienced this, but I'm currently using compressor to export a NTSC DV video file to DVCPROHD60 and upon my first attempt, the file got to about 90% in 45 minutes. Unfortunately, I ran out of hard drive space and the export failed. I tried loading up the...

Hey guys, I'm currently shooting a feature length doc with a two person crew; myself and a friend. I'm going to be shooting a meeting between two people at a race track and need to figure out the best option for covering their audio. I have one wireless lav package and a shotgun mic. I really...

Hey guys, Hoping some of you might take the time check out my demo reel and share your thoughts. The entire thing is shot on the HVX with the stock lens. Any comments or criticisms are encouraged. Here's the link: http://vimeo.com/3886232 password: demo2009 It's a little on the longer...

Hey guys, Can anyone suggest a good quality, affordable wireless LAV mic package for shooting documentary? I don't know very much about this type of equipment and am looking for something that won't totally break the bank. Maybe a $200-$400 range. Thanks in advance!

Hey guys, So I'm currently finishing up post on a short horror film I shot last fall called 'Colore Non Vedenti (Colour Blind)'. Everything is pretty much set EXCEPT for audio. The tough thing is we had a very tiny crew of friends and I'm currently feeling a little overwhelmed by the...

Sorry if this specific problem has already been addressed, but I couldn't find a solution on the boards here. Anyways, I'll try and keep it short: The last clip of my P2 footage will not upload, giving me a message that the footage is corrupt. Everything is there...it just won't import. I...

Hey guys, I've recently wrapped up shooting a half hour short horror/comedy film called 'Colore Non Vedenti'. It's in the tradition of 70's and 80's horror/thrillers; more specifically, the 'body snatcher' style films like The Stuff, The Blob and Invaders From Mars. I wrote/directed/dp'd and...

I'm currently working a short horror/comedy and have just done a rough cut of a short scene that's been giving me some troubles. I was hoping to get some opinions. The scene is a CB radio conversation between a man in a van and a dispatcher in an office. All of the van shots are locked off. On...

Sorry, had to take it down. Moderator can delete this post of you'd like.

Hey guys, Just wanted to get some of your thoughts on this. I'm currently finishing up a short horror film that I'm shooting on the HVX. (Check out the 'teaser' trailer here) I'm sort of considering this (as well as my previous short works) as a dry run for a feature I'm hoping to shoot next...

Hey guys, Here's a little 'teaser' trailer I've just put together for a short horror film I'm currently shooting. The movie is called 'Colore Non Vedenti' and is an 'Invasion of hte Body Snatchers' style horror/comedy/thriller. http://vimeo.com/2088140 We're only about 2/3's filmed, but I...

Here's something I've noticed in the past and on a project I'm working on right now. I've been working on a short horror film, and visually it sort of draws from Italian horror, especially the work of Mario Bava. I've been using some harsh red lighting, and I've used red in the opening titles...

Not sure how much help I can get from here, but does anyone have any advice/suggestions for unscrewing a step down ring from the front of the HVX? There's not much to grab and it's on pretty tight. I didn't even screw it on tight...but must've been the force of the brevis going on that tightened...
