Hi there, when I don't make movies, I work for a company named Cincom Systems as a software engineer on a new product named WebVelocity (or the other way around?). We have recently released a version 1.1 beta of WebVelocity and are looking for participants in our beta program. I know there...

This must be the most inane thing I have ever done - both on the web and at work. Here I am, two nights before my final day at the job, ready to start packing. I sneaked my camera to work, to shoot some footage for docs I've been thinking about. First is documenting my experience of quitting...

I am not even sure this is the right forum (I though Business/Post Production) as an alternative, but this seems to get more traffic... Anyway - today is the day. I finally gave my notice, and as of the end of October, I'll be free:love4:. Until the money runs out, that it. Obviously, sooner...

No, not smoking - my job! Yesterday, I gave a notice in my apartment, and in eight weeks, it will be good bye DC. This is the best present I could give myself for my 45th birthday. Oldtimers may recall that I used to be pretty frequent on DVXUSER. Then this SH***Y assignment was thrown at me...

Hey, I am sure for many of you this may be old news, but I thought I'd share with you a cool book I just finished (reading, not writing:) ). It's 'The Long Tail', and talks, among other things, about the future of media in the economy of abundance (as opposed to economy of scarcity, which...

I've been using Vegas for quite some time and generally I am very happy with it, but recently I've been experiencing some difficulties. I am hoping some of you Vegas gurus will be able to point me in right direction. I've got some MP4 clips that I am importing into Vegas (360x240, 29.97fps)...

The March issue of NG has a photo in the feature article 'Ivory Wars' on page 56. One of the NG people is trying to prevent a baby elephant from snatching his HVX ;-).

In a world... where fast food sucks... a bank employee gets hooked on a mystery man and his lunch. He will stop at nothing to find out who supplies the bastard. A spy mockudrama coming to a lunch table near you when all crumbs have been licked off the plate. I have a draft script, working...

Apple's digital rights management lock on its iPod device and iTunes software is illegal, the Consumer Ombudsman in Norway has ruled. The blow follows the news that consumer groups in Germany and France are joining Norway's action against Apple. More details here: http://www.out-law.com/page-7691

Hi folks, I never thought I'd ask THIS question. I just happened to be at a friend's birthday party, and took some pictures with my wife's Canon G6 camera. Then I thought - hey, it's got a video setting, why not use that to make some home movies? Well, the AVI files produced by that fine...

Has anyone seen this? It's a Turkish movie with some beautiful cinematography, but VEEEERRY SLLLOOOWWW. It got a number of awards, but I just don't understand why. Seriously, if a European or North American movie was this bad, it would get trashed by critics and audiences. If anyone has seen...

Well, after a long time, I finally convinced my S.O. to join the board. Welcome, ALenko!

No, it's not what you think, you perverts!:grin: I've been grappling with this for many years, and I thought this might as well be the forum to come out of the closet (and no, it's not what you think, either):evil: . As you may or may not know, Canada is the 'hyphen-nation'. We are mostly...

Hi folks, I took the HVX to a trip to Europe (she has never been before). We did a lot of travelling - twelve countries visited. I am way too busy to put together a clip in the foreseeable future, so hHere are just some grabs - uncorrected of course. I made the pics smaller so they fit on my...

Hey everybody, hope you are all having a great summer and a lot of fun shooting! I've been busy at work and then away to the old continent. Twelve countries and 5800 kms - and some nice footage that I hope to show in coming weeks. Just wanted to say that I missed you all - no internet in most...

Hello HVX-ers, the director of a short film I've been working on is in LA this week, and is looking for an HVX200 owner/operator who would be available to shoot some coverage shots for the film before returning to Toronto next Tuesday. You must own an HVX and be able to burn the contents of...

Hi folks, I've been quiet as of late (I am sure many appreciate that:thumbsup: ). Really busy at my day job, as well as shooting... Not sure how many of you care, but: I've used the HVX on three short films over the past six weeks, all 720p/24PN, some with slomo, some green screen -...

Heya friends... I've crossed that bridge. Putting a reel online was one of the most difficult decisions - for a hundred reasons. Eventually it had to be done. It's just over four minutes long, with a list of credits at the end that'll be too boring to watch for you... You can download a...

Okay - I got the camera and I LOVE it. I've worked out the workflow, got Raylight, imported to Vegas, looks great on an HD TV/PC monitor. Now is the time to put the camera to work, and that's where my trouble starts. I used it on a shoot last week. The camera worked great, the workflow was...

You old-timers know what will follow, right? :evil: That's right - a little bit of Bohemian propaganda from this ex-Czecho nut, combined with some musing on life, love, sex, and politics (ouch! I really, really don't want this thread to be banned, so I'll tread lightly). So - I picked up a...
