Hey all. Well it's official, I cannot fix these Sony MDR 7506 headphones. They are a couple of years old, and cosmetically they are in great condition, the problem is <drum roll> they do not work. I have been messing with them for about two hours, but I cannot get them to work. It might be a...

I found this article in the New York Times this morning and thought everyone might enjoy it (in case you don't read the Times). Very interesting stuff... Smaller Video Producers Seek Audiences on Net By SAUL HANSELL In 1999, "The Blair Witch Project" became one of the most profitable...

So I have been storyboarding very specific shots for a violent assault scene for a short that I am doing (essentially to help me learn how to shoot scenes like this). As part of my research I am watching everything I can from great 'fight' or 'beat down' scenes, looking at the angles, lighting...

I'm looking to purchase some microphones. Need several for some tests and things like that, so if you have any to sell email or PM me model, condition, and asking price. Please also let me know if you have any accessories with it. Thanks so much!

I just received word from Panasonic that my rebate was sent out this week, so of course I am all ga ga on the EVS site trying to figure out how quickly I can blow $300. I know the first purchase I am going to make is going to the the 503 head, but I was looking at these...

I am just sitting here in the office and am curious about how adjusting the shutter rate can add effect to what you are shooting. Can anyone offer advice for a ball park on shutter settings for frantic hand held shots. I am going to try to do some experimenting this evening when I get home...

Obviously it looks washed out, but please rip it apart. I got nothing to lose and tons to learn...

So I decided to go back into my zombie film and rerender it, but this time us some of the magic bullet effects to sort of change the look. My original cut, like most things I do, came out looking completely washed out, and I am just not happy with the look of it. For a five minute short it...

Hey all. This is my first post for films that I have done, but I would like some constructive critism to help me get better. This is a one minute film I shot a couple of weeks ago. The footage is all 100% unprocessed (no magic bullet) 24p footage. In the flashback I used Vegas' contrast...

Last night I was watching Easy Rider. It has been at least five to eight years since I had seen it last, and I had a much different reaction to it this time than previous viewings. Out of curiousity, what are other people's opinions regarding this film from both a cultural/story viewpoint...

Hey all, looking to buy a Bogen Tripod Kit with either the 501 or 503 head. If you have one that you are looking to sell please PM me with type of head, sticks, condition, and price you are looking for. Thanks so much!

OK, long story very short. Went by my local rental location to pick up the microphone I had put on hold to rent, and they double booked it (Lectrosonics UCR 190 UHF). Anger sets in and then they tell me that while they cannot supply me with what I want, they will give me this incredible deal...

I am selling a Panasonic GS120. This is a 3CCD miniDV camcorder. It is the NTSC version, and includes: Camera Standard Battery Remote Additional High Capacity Battery Camcorder Bag Original Box Original Manual I will do local pick up in North Carolina or will ship for actual shipping price...

I'm talking about the original Henry Fonda version... The openning dolly shot is incredible, but after the titles role and they are in the chamber, that single shot goes on for 10 minutes. The camera is dollying throughout the chamber, you are introduced to all the characters, and it is...

I know most people here are pretty well sold on the 503, but how would you say that it compares to the 501? Any opinions on actual performance differences? I know the 503 is more of a true fluid, but from reading I've done it seems like the performance is nearly identical. Any opinions?

I have a question for the board, that I guess I can only phrase as what is the right level of balance to seek between being humble, arrogant, and confident when the project is complete. Essentially when you are putting together credits and you wrote, directed, produced, edited, composed the...

OK, this is a strange question, well at least to me, but we were at lunch today and this question came up and I didn't know how to answer it or how to make sense of it. To my understand, the reason we all bought the DVX was because it shoots in 24p, and the purpose of 24p is to imitate how film...

So I got my DVX yesterday from EVS Online. I had tickets to see some of the actors I use in a play, so by the time I got home and was able to unpack the box it was like midnight. I carefully unpacked it, picked up the camera and using the AC Adapted just turned it on. Then I sat down on the...

I know this is going to seem like the most ridiculous question, but... How do you shoot in 3D? I have been using the search function here at DVXUser.com and also at google, and I can't find a thing about how you do it. I did find something about having two projectors, but that doesn't make...

Hey All.... Tonight I was doing some shopping and I remembered about a store that I shop from American Musical. They do mostly guitar and stuff, but I like them because on orders under $1000 they will do 3 split payments (a great benefit for those of us who want the gear now, but can't afford...
