Accessories and Essentials!

[Tippsy]

Ok so I just want a good list of products that I should buy to get more of a film look for the Dvx100b. I know that the camera is amazing by itself and you can do a lot in post but what filters and accessories are good or essential to getting a really good look for it. About the price well just think of how effective it is vs. the price I could go for buying a few lower priced items to increase the look or just one higher priced, basically I just need some suggestions! Thanks

i would say to start by getting one of tiffen's warming filters. i would also get a few external ND filters so you can always keep your aperture at F2.8 to get minimum depth of field. if you have a big budget, you can invest in a 35mm adapter which gives you the best film look possible and allows much shallower depth of field which makes it have more of a film look. since the colors are generally warmer on film, i would bring the color temp to -2 or -3 also... if you have a big budget, you can also look into matte boxes fir the dvx100. i do not know the prices on any of these things, but the filters should run around $60- $100 each (look on ebay first!). everything else will be more expensive. hope this helps!
