Low light samples?

Totally been there. Totally done that.

Or go rent a Canon SD camera, like the GL2, and shoot everything a 1/15 (or even 1/8 when you do tripod) shutter, open aperture, and +12dB gain. It's noisy, but you'll probably get three to four stops lower than the HVX could.

Definitely have a camera-mounted light. And pick angles where your subjects have light on the background, so you can at least silhouette them, e.g. windows, the DJ/band, etc.
 
Thanks a lot everyone, I really appreciate your input. I do have a dvc60 the bigger bro' to the dcv30 and it does slightly better than the hvx in low light with gain ofcourse. I think I will use it for the indoor shots and the hvx for their photo shoot outdoors, trouble is.... the dvc60 is pal and the hvx ntsc. Which format should I shoot the hvx? in order to mix the pal footage on the same timeline?
Btw, can I crop 4:3 to 16:9 without the image looking strechted?
I use vegas 7 so any suggestions on this as well will be very helpful.
Thanks!

Most night shots in feature films you see have 10s of thousands of watts of light illuminating the scene.
