Does anyone know when they will open the voting up for the DVXfest? I know the post says the 1st of the following month (which would have been yesterday), but maybe they are going to hold off until after the holiday weekend? Just wondered if anyone had the inside scoop, I can't wait to check...

I just ordered a new Dell computer and I finally took the leap and got a well-reviewed LCD with it too. Aside from the LCD I want a monitor/TV obviously to check color, brightness, etc etc. I am broke so I can't spend much (say $400-500 MAX) which I am thinking probably takes away the...

Just watched this tonight. Nicole Kidman stars in it. Seems to be a lot of debate on "was he Sean or was he not?" around the net (as well as in my house after watching it). Anyone see it? I definitely recommend it if you are into twists and thinking movies (although it does move a bit slow...

Just got back from the 47th Annual Rochester Film Fest and I must say it was the MOST filmmaker-friendly true indie fest I have ever attended or been a part of. Not that I have had tons of festival experience or anything but I can't imagine anyone not feeling the love at this fest. These people...

Hi Guys and Gals, This past weekend was the Premiere and 2-disc DVD/CD set Release Party for my new short HUNTING CAMP (filmed with a DVX100a) and it was a HUGE success! The first night (Mar12) over-sold-out so we had to add a second showing the following day (Mar13)! What a great weekend...

After test screenings in Chicago, Cleveland, and Erie and reviews starting to trickle in online, this coming weekend marks the big Erie, Pennsylvania Premiere and 2-disc DVD/CD set release party of my new movie HUNTING CAMP! The movie (made on the DVX100a in 24pA) has made a couple film fests...

Anybody know when they usually start taking submissions for the DV Magazine fests?

Just wanted to let you all know that I met and got to hang out with Mark from "American Movie" fame this past weekend at the Eerie Horror Film Fest and he and I got to talk DVX as he is using it to make his new film "SCARE ME".   There's a pic from the weekend at my post here...

Hello fellow DVXers! Well (as many of you have felt hundreds of times before me) I am starting to see the end of the tunnel now on my current project, HUNTING CAMP, and it's starting to feel good!   I am getting confident enough to start putting some stuff out on the film's website.  So here...

Hello fellow DVXers!!! I disappeared from the forum for awhile to finish filming my second short film "Hunting Camp" (my first one with the DVX), but now I am back - wahoo! I am working on the second edit right now on it and am working to get a teaser trailer up on the site soon.  Just thought...

what do you guys use to safely clean your LCD. a guy told me you could just use windex, that would be nice and accessible but i didnt want to chance it. i know they make special LCD cleaners and wipes, i just wondered if there is something else that works just fine i may have laying around the...

exporting a frame from the premiere pro timeline is easy enough, but how do you get that frame image to look like its supposed to? i shot a docu/promo vid in 24pA, and in the IN CAMERA 16:9 squeeze mode, and made a 24p DVD for it.  the client wants a couple screen caps to send to people.   in...

i bought the premiere 1.5 upgrade for obvious reasons. the video 2.5 upgrade collection was out of stock where i shop so thats why i went that route. is there any significant reason to need to have the 1.5 upgrade of encore? it had 24pA support before anyhow right? thanks!

Hello, I am in the middle of my current project and have had a weekend set aside for months now to film outdoors mostly at a person's cabin and surrounding areas in the woods. The thought just occurred to me: "if it frickin' rains I am dead"! I know I can buy a nice, made for the camera rain...

I see the Alienware banner displayed at the top of this site with EVS and the Matteblox people.   Is there any kind of discount being offered for forum members or does Jarred just really like their PCs? (who wouldn't)

Hello again DVXers Well as some of you may already know from my posts I am out of budget for hardware and accessories.  I am a week into filming my new project and I came into a free wheelchair to use whenever I want. Has anyone used the "poor man's dolly" before?  Any tips and tricks for...

Hello This weekend I filmed at several different indoor and outdoor locations.  At the end of the day my sound man told me this (keep in mind none of my crew are seasoned professionals so if this is obvious try not to beat on me too bad, he he): "It doesn't happen in every location, and...

would the settings apply for filming a TV screen as to filming a computer monitor? or doesnt it matter. i could get my camera out and see, but that peanut butter pie is keeping my ass in this seat!
