My original and 2 DVX 5600 mah batteries are all getting near their EOL. I do a lot of arena shooting where the camera is fixed however, so an AC adapter would be perfect but I can't seem to figure out what's needed to get the DVX running off AC. Also I noticed the DVX batteries are "offline"...

I was just reading in another thread where someone hadn't seen (Leon) The Professional and it struck me as an interesting topic. So what are the major hard hitters you've never seen and why not? They don't necessarily need to be Oscar winners, could even be cult classics, but must be iconic in...

I'm looking for someone with their own pro-sumer or better camera and gear to act as my second camera person for 5 days in June. The exact dates are June 3-7. The job is shooting the AHA Region 8 Championship Horse show at the National Western Event Center. The job pays a flat rate of $200/ day...

I'm using OSX 10.4.10 on a 20" ACD. I've heard Mac displays use a native white point of 1.8 Gamma. The docs for the SPyderPro2 say to use 2.2 6500. Looking at them both, the 1.8 is a little warmer, and more pleasing to the eye, however the whole reason I got an external calibration unit was...

Holy smokes... they snagged Starbuck (Katee Sackhoff) for the role of the evil experimental revision 1 bionic woman prototype. Awesome! She's totally badass too, perfect casting. I'm a little jealous and concerned that they're stealing her away from BSG but -whatever, it's Katee on primetime...

Can anyone provide me with a part # or link to order this? Thanks. I'm talking about the cable that runs from the AC Adapter/charger unit to the battery mount which allows one to run the camera plugged into the charger rather than off a battery. I shoot in one spot at shows, and swapping out...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hidvElQ0xE This is inspiring no matter what your creative aspirations. Seriously, the 5 minutes you spend here could alter you for the better. That's #3, #4 is also awesome. posting in the order I'm watching them... #2 rocks too. Safe to say this guy has some...

WA questions: First off, what's the effective zoom through difference between the .6 .7 and .8 WA lenses? Is the .8 better than the .7 than the .6 in terms of quality of zoom through? Does one lose focus length, particularly on the tight end? Tele Questions: What's the difference between the...

I'm asking the impossible here but it's worth throwing out a line. I'm a startup company and I've got 3 weeks to put together the videography for this week long event. The show will require 2 camera's for shooting specific riders (orders) and possibly a third for general event coverage. If you...

I've got a 23.97 sequence in FCP with 24pA footage that's ready to go into the can. I'm about to export the entire sequence to MP2 for DVDSP directly from FCP via compressor. Is there anything special about the compressor configuration because of the fact that the sequence is 24fps (and...

I shot with a Senn G2 wireless on channel 1 and the built in Mic on channel 2. So- what would be the ideal audio capture mode. I will want to boost and tweak channel 2 as it's how I recorded audio for everyone else who wasn't wearing the lapel mic. I can't make heads or tails of the little icon...

I just captured my footage shot with a DVX100B on scene file 6 (which is still the factory scene file) using the NTSC with pulldown removal capture mode. When I look at the properties for the captured clip however, it shows it as a 29.97 clip. Is this normal? I created a new 24 fps sequence...

Just a pet peeve i've gotta get off my chest. Does anyone else hate the fact that iTunes has an udpate every other day, and instead of patches you have to download the entire application? It's downright comical. I swear to god it seems like there's new version before/ by the time I've finished...

Have you ever written one of those extra large editorial type posts that encapsulate oh basically to quote ...only to have your browser take a huge **** and make it all go bye bye? Well I had written such a post about how I've come to realize the enormity of digital editing and film making...

Is there such a thing as a tabletop tripod -and sturdy and steady enough for a DVX? My dilemma is that I'll be shooting from behind a large bench in a photography/videography booth in a large indoor arena. The bench is high enough and the standing area narrow enough that I can't use a normal...

The spaces are pretty large and usually echoey because they're seldom full of people and I'm shooting from a distance, not necessarily doing close ups- so ambient sound isn't a bad thing. Would any semi decent shotgun work fine, i.e. Rode NTG-2? See this clip for a visual of the space, but the...

I've been watching this quite a bit lately. Not only is this movie packed with good acting (Malkovich, Landau, Turturro, Damon) it's packed with really great characters. Also, I really enjoy the camera work of Jean-Yves Escoffier. Lot's of cool focus manuevers on the cards, chips, faces of...

I'm looking for a way to present event photos (not stock photos, event photos) that won't cost me an arm and a leg. I've got about 600 photo's from a recent event I was asked to shoot for- and I had just figured it would be no problem to chef up a web slideshow in some photo app (PS-CS2, iWeb...
