Here are a few links to some 100% DVX100a shorts that I've done shot/edited in the last few months. Too bad YouTube has such bleh compression. Enjoy :)

I watched some of that stuff. You used the built in lightnening effect of adobe premiere in the Super Bowl one. haha! Anyway - good fade from the super bowl logo to the truck - also I liked that rap song but thought it was missing depth of field in some parts. But it was good. EGizmos put me to sleep but that is exactly what the client wanted i bet. The narrator voice was really pro on that and it was good. The thing that threw me off was at the very end you have the store partially faded out with an egizmos logo faded out... then you put the egizmos logo overtop. So basically at the very end i wished it faded the background totally to white.
 
Right on with the eGismoz spot. Totally boring, but wowed the client. What a world.

The lightening effect was actually a FCP filter (the name is escaping me right now) that is jsut keyframed to jump out.
 
I'd like to know what you did to stabalize the shots of the car moving down the road that you shot from outside. I'm going to be doing the same thing soon except it is a jib shot. Essentially, I was going to stick the jib in the back of a truck and follow a car down the road. Do you have any ideas on how to do that?
 
I actually shot it in my driveway after dark. The car is in park, and someone is shaking it out of frame. I kept my frame close enough so you could not see anything outside of the car. I had a grip hold up two fresnels behind the car and then turn away to make it look like headlights of another car, then I had someone else walk by holding a light 2 or three times. I just hated that my talent was moving his hand on the wheel waaaaaay too much.

If you are going to do a jib in the back of a truck, get some sandbags/weights to help stabilize it. Find the smoothest road possible. You'll also need a car-powered light for the interior to light your talent if ambient moonlight is not enough (usually isn't) Audio can also be a pain too.
