COOL TRICKS with the DVX100b

DVX100B Camera Tip #42

If you've been a real good little indy producer and you place your camera under your pillow before you go to sleep, the DVX production fairy, (I think her name is "Jan something or other"), will secretly arrive at night and leave a completed feature with fantastic story, terrific acting, great sound and absolutely ground breaking visual effects.

However, because its just so... well magical, you'll be the only one that can see it. To everyone else it will look like the piece of crap you shot the day before!

Very funny! I think I experienced that once but I wasn't yet awake.
 
As for the iris: I strongly desagree, we're not talking about lenses for 35mm SLR.
Small sensor cameras like the DVX100 need to be used with the iris all the way open. When the iris is closed you have problems due to diffraction.
The best way to expose and shoot with a small sensor camera is in my opinion to keep the iris open, adjust the exposure using the built in ND filters of the camera and shutter speed and then doing the fine tuning with the iris.
Hope I explained myself well enough, not an english speaker here.
