Hola, amigos. I know it's been a long time since I rapped at ya, but maybe you can help me out. A television studio would like to license one of my photos for use in a pilot and I'm trying to get an idea of what to charge for usage rights. For a small indie production, I'd just give them...

Congratulations to all the filmmakers, crew, and actors that entered LoveFest 2008. The films were really great this round and we really saw some filmmaking chops on display. We can only recognize a small number of films and individuals with the awards, but you should all be proud of coming up...

Welcome to the dvxuser.com LoveFest 2008! We've got a really interesting mix of films for this fest and as usual-- it's a treat getting to watch the amazing work you guys produce. I was pleased to see these films showcase some very solid performances by your actors. Screening the films late...

For whatever reason, some of you were under the mistaken impression this was hide-the-camera-fest. No. It's LoveFest and there is no love for the fest coordinator searching for the single frame in your film where a small section of what could possibly be a camera appears in the shadows--maybe...

I'm working on an interactive art installation and I'm looking for the absolute cheapest progressive frame DV camera I can find. It can be 24p, 30p, whatever, but it must be progressive, not interlaced. It should have a firewire output and that's about all I need. If anyone has a trashed...

The current package of special offers included with the HVX end tomorrow on November 30 and I'm wondering what we're going to see next from Jan. Anyone think we'll see the return of a bundled P2 card? There are some changes in the HVX's market (ahem) and it seems the enthusiasm for the AB...

We mods decided it was time to consolidate the Sony PMW-EX1 threads into their own top-level forum. We want to remind everyone to self-moderate when it comes to discussing camera X vs. camera Y. As always, our goal is to provide a friendly forum for the exchange of technical information. When...

Some of you have been posting and messaging us with questions about whether your planned films fit the theme of LoveFest. First of all, the intent is to give everyone some lattitude to make a wide variety of films, yet still remain bonded together by the theme. In no way are we looking to...

Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and then suddenly it flips over, pinning you underneath. At night, the ice weasels come. ---Matt Groening Love. Who hasn't made a fool of themselves for love? In the entire universe, nothing is more complex than a human being and no emotion is...

Congratulations to all the filmmakers, crew, and actors that entered All Hallow's Fest. We all enjoyed watching your films and you all deserve kudos for your efforts. The majority of films received multiple points, meaning that others thought it ranked as a top film. I want to thank our...

Welcome to the dvxuser.com All Hallow's Fest 2007! We asked you to bring on the darkness and you didn't disappoint. As always, we have an amazing collection of short films in our fest. Two things were apparent after watching this bunch--we have some dedicated and talented filmmakers, and some...

You: Oscar or Emmy winning director with deep experience and access to top notch DOP. Must have willingness to drop everything on short notice, work for nothing and rewrite our shitty short film script. Us: Talentless morons without a clue or the ability to write anything approaching a...

I'm looking for an experienced web geek to set up a a very simple web site to facilitate document and file sharing. The main requirement is the site be as secure as possible with a user/password system for entry and access and protected file assets. The site should be able to be maintained and...

Finally, a touchscreen iPod (and no AT&T contract). The iPod Touch looks pretty nice--the iPhone without the phone, but it does have WiFi--woohoo. And iPhones are $200 less, the early adopters tax has been dropped. :) Time to retire my 3G, I think. http://live.gizmodo.com/

Everybody loves a good YouTube video, but, the number of threads has gotten out of control and is taking over the Cafe. Please try to cut back on the number of YouTube posts, so we can reclaim the Cafe for some other topics as well. If there's already a couple of YouTube threads on the first...

I just got one of the new Zoom H2 units today and will try to write up a short review this week. Some quick observations--both the physical controls and the menu interface are an improvement over the H4 unit. The unit is easy and intuitive to use and basic functions (like setting levels) are...

Congratulations to all the filmmakers, crew, and actors that entered AdFest. This was really an outstanding group of films. I had many PM's from users wringing their hands over having to pick only three films. I have to agree and I've been screening your spots for a lot of people who're...

This is a beautiful little spot and it has a nice fluid sensibility. The music is perfect, although I puzzled over why it abruptly cuts at the end. A few of the shots seem a tinge too long, but overall this is a solid spot. I felt like you had a message and understood the product and the...
