This post didn't generate much response in the DVX100 Screen Grab Forum which made me wonder if the majority of folks have moved on and are using the HVX200 instead. Sorry for the double post, but like I said, it did receive many views in the other forum. (Note to mods: I don't care where it ends up merged and moved, etc).

I'm currently working on a new project that I wanted to share with you folks. "In The Band" gives viewers an inside look at rock and roll from load-in to load-out. I've placed a link to the 5-segments, below, that make up the 44-minute program. Here's some info as to how it was created:
Cameras
• 1 HVX200 (camera that shows close-ups of guitarist) was used for multicam also - In SD
• 5 DVX100 cameras, a mix of 100, 100A and 100B types were used for multicam concert footage
• 1 Panasonic Varicam was placed on a jib and shot in SD
• Unfortunately, each camera was set to something different like 29.97 NDF, and 23.98 DF, or 24 NDF, etc (ugh!)
• 1 DVX100A was used for interviews with 1 600W ARRI and Chimera for key light and 1 100w Lowell for backlight/hair light
• 1 DVX100 and the HVX200 were used to shoot stand-ups and b-roll
Audio
• Concert audio is temporary. It's an untreated soundboard recording provided by the band
• Interview and b-roll audio is a mix of wireless lavs and boom/shotgun recordings

Getting all the footage into 1-timeline was challenging. I used Shake to separate and replace fields on some of the 29.97 footage in order to to fake a pulldown cadence that Cinema Tools could use to reverse telecine to 23.98. I eventually got every bit of footage to play in a 23.98 timeline flawlessly without any video loss. I chose 23.98 since that's the what the majority of the cameras used as their fps.
• The concert multicam was edited with Final Cut Pro
• I did not use their multicam function - I have my own method I find works better for me.
• After editing the entire concert the band and I reviewed for best song choices
• The TV show was then also edited with FCP
• Color correction was done in FCP
• The band didn't like the background in one of the interviews so I was forced to cheat a DOF
• DOF was created by rotoscoping the subjects with Commotion and applying TrueCamera Blur to the background
• Back in FCP, I applied a beauty treatment as well as some vignetting
• Motion graphics were create in AE as well as some of the flashier transitions.
• Compression for web delivery via Sorenson Squeeze and Flash On2 codec
I don't wanna seem like I'm blustering on and on about the project but I thought this might answer some common questions which may or may not follow the usual, "Check out my clip," posts.

Enjoy!
