Help a Newb with his DVX-100

[Dacjedi]

Hello all-

Some friends and I are entering in a 24 hour film fest this upcoming weekend. We were lucky enough to acquire a DVX-100 from a friend, and we will be using it for the shoot.


I have some experience with shooting DV, but I need some advice:

What kind of settings should I pay attention to when shooting in very low light? (midnight- sunrise)

How can we take advantage of the DVX-100's professional capabilities with little to no budget and almost no additional lighting?

What kind of settings benefit the 'run & gun' kind of filming that the shoot will require?

Any additional help and tips would be greatly appreciated!

thanks for your time

-D

Your asking some very broad questions. The look you want will determine what setting to use. Play with the settings and read Barry Green's DVX book.
