HVX users in SOFLA

Capturing on FS-100 (When and if I will ever get them) Shoot coming up soon so we are looking at some 8g P2 alternative. Yourself?

Trying to finally wrap this whole workflow around my head...can't wait till next year when I have had time to go through all the troubles and unknowns of a tapeless format. Going HD adds to the list as well, it will be a learning curve, but I know it is well worth it.

We had to go FS-100 for some run and gun shoots that could eat up 3 or 4 hours, no time to do a swap, and I didn't want to drag a laptop around with me. Can't wait till there will be a P2 card big enough to not even worry about taking it out. But until then, we have to look for a work around.

We will be shooting 720p/24 and editing on FCP.
 
Same here but I already got both the HVX and the FS-100.
A bit of a problem to get it started but it's now up and running (at least on some of the available formats).

What sort of a project are you planning to shoot?
 
Next week we have just some interview shots of a historian talking about what America believes in today.

What where your problems with on the FS-100? I am worried of not getting my hands on one before a shoot day because we had to rent on. Then when I do, it doesn't make sence, much like it was yesterday with me trying to get time lapse to work. The manual is not very user friendly.
 
It's a bit odd to figure the FS out... the settings on both the FS and the camera have to match and they're not the most intuitive ones.
That's why I think it's so important to network though forums.
 
Hey guys. I live in Hollywood, Fl and have 2 DVX's. I will be buying an HVX soon. Do you have any reccomendations on the best place to purchase? I'm thinking of buying p2 cards and wait for the cineporter to come out.

Jarane,

What formats are you successfully shooting in on the FS?

So far 1080p60 , 720p60 and DV. The rest I haven't really tried since I'm not sure wich ones are currently supported by the FS.
 
We could eventually get something going among HVX SOFLA users to exchange ideas and to help each other solve our individual technical issues...
So the "party" is not out of the question.

This week I am on the road. I will be applying the workflow that I think will work the best for me (minus the FS-100's). I bought 2 500g G-Drives, have them secured in a pelican case along with my PB G4, that and my HVX200 will be going onboard with me on the plane.

Jarane, sure would like to know how 720/24p works on those FS-100's. That will be the format I will be using.

Not too upset about not having the FS-100's for this trip, I think the 8g P2's will be better since it is only a short interview.

What did you decide on Archiving?

Let's keep up to date with each other so we can share info.

I'm in Orlando. Maybe we should get a network group going in CF, too.
