I'll be visiting my hometown of Mexico City in about a month, and would like to try out some time lapse stuff there. I've searched the forum, but I haven't found clear instructions on how to time lapse using the DVX100A. Can someone please enlighten me?

This board seems to be full of people who hate the handheld look. Why is this? I understand that a tripod and other types of support are essential, but why is it that every time someone posts a video that was done handheld, people say they needed to use a tripod? I honestly prefer the handheld...

I'm going to be shooting a music video soon and I'm running into a big problem. I'm shooting 24pa and editing on a 23.93 timeline. However, I'm also trying to mix in slow motion footage that was shot at 60i. I use JES deinterlacer to get the slow motion, only it exports the slow mo footage at...

I'm trying to shoot a scenes where A) the sun is giving off a very warm and very orange glow, and B) The streetlights are extremely orange. Whenever I try to WB using a white card, the colors obviously shift into a blue hue, which I don't want. How does one perform an effective white balance...

I got this from another forum. It's a list of random/funny thoughts. Hope you enjoy it. -I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option. -More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can't wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own...

I found this video the other day, and I'm wondering how to do and effect similar to the one that starts at the 1 min. mark. Do you guys have any ideas? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mKtt7F0rPU

I took a .mov clip and converted it to .mpg using a video converter. The video looked fine on my comp, but once it uploaded it got messed up. Can anyone tell me what I did wrong, or how to upload the videos so they work? http://vimeo.com/6292801

I'm trying to get the smoothest slo mo possible, but I have a few questions. First of all, the best way to get slo mo I've found is using Optical Flow in Motion. I recorded a clip using 60i on my 100a, captured it into FCP, and then sent it to Motion. Once in motion, I changed the timing to...

Heres some video project that I did throughout the year for a high school film class. "Testimony" and "Math and Science Center" were shot on a DVX 100a. The other video was shot on some other camera (not sure what it was). Please let me know what you think of my videos. I'd love to hear some...

I want to put videos on youtube and vimeo (only tried youtube so far), but they are coming out jittery and jumpy. Could somebody please help me out? I'm using Handbrake to rip my dvd videos onto my mac, and then trying to put them on youtube. Could somebody give me sort of a walkthrough as to...

I'm waiting for my admission into the Art Center College of Design (Where Snyder and Bay studied) to study Film Directing. The school is located in Pasadena. Depending on when I get accepted, I'll be moving there either for this Fall semester or in the Spring. I haven't lived in a big city...

I haden't noticed it until now :D

I pulled in a photo into the timeline and color corrected it to get more contrast and a yellow/orange overall color. Is there a way to keep that photo as a photo file while maintaining those changes? As in, is there a way to use FCP to color correct photos instead of having to purchase photo...

I received my FCS2 software today, and it only came with 4 volumes of FCP manuals, and a Color setup manual. Am I missing manuals for the other applications (Motion, Soundtrack, et.), or is this how it was supposed to come? The package was brand new and unopened, but it just seems weird that it...

Anybody know how I can achieve the look of "Collateral" using a DVX? Also, I'd like to know the actual settings Mann used (shutter speed, 24p, etc.)

I'll be going to college in the fall, and my school is asking to have a mac (desktop or laptop), as well as Final Cut Pro. Will a macbook (white version, with the firewire, 2.0GHz, 2GB RAM, 120GB hard drive) be able to meet my requirements and run the software smoothly? I'm also wondering as...
