METH video - was It really recorded on a dvx100?

what I ment earlier about grain/noise can be seen in this video:

AT 0.30 Im digusted by all the grain, yet around a minute when you see the whole car, the picture is very sharp and nice.

Now, is this the dvx handling light? The interior close up versus the half-shot outside?
That isn't fair I guess, but is it safe to say that it does this kind of gain at low light?
 
push ur master ped to around -12 to reduce noise/grain in lowlight. u will prolly have to introduce more light to the scene though. I will post a shot low light test i did last night. hardly grain...really low light...raw footy.

I just got finished filming a feature on the DVX, and I can say that this was filmed to intentionally exploit the alot of the DVX's ability, and I believe alot of attention was given to lighting.

I won't even try to go to in depth, but it's just good film making....too many people pay attention to the best way to get low light performance, and too little time on learning how to properly light a scene, from both a practical standpoint and an artistic one.

As for up rezzing? I know that Red Giant has some plu-ins that include anti-aliasing abilities.

The out of focus background bits? It's not a 35mm adapter, that's for sure...just good film making. set up your shot a little further back, zoom in, and viola...the background is out of focus....I'll attest to the advantages of video all day long, as well as those of 35mm adapters, but when it comes down to it the flexibility in shooting anywhere in any way, and always being able to match footage wins the prize for video

The advantages of 35mm adapters and film? These formats force you to deeply think through how a shot will happen...setting marks for actors, on the camera, deciding the rate at which people and focal planes will move, and it almost always requires an AC, which adds a synergy to the camera work....but it's slower then video.

Here's a production I was Cinematographer on that used a 35mm adapter:

the results were absolutely beautiful, but I cursed the long setup times here and there....as I mainly use stock lenses, and perhaps an add-on wide angle.
