If you want to achieve the look in-camera then set your color temperature low. Also, set the white balance outside, so when you shoot inside locations it has a blue-tint to it. This is risky though....I'd just try to do it in post and shoot flat during the actual filming.

just a slight correction.
you want to white balance to tungsten ( indoors ) because your daylight will then appear blue. If you want your tungsten light to appear bluer, you will have to white balance t osomething almost orange. Otherwise white balance to tungsten and raise your color temperature untill you have found the desired effect.
Lower your chroma level as well.
Otherwise, i would shoot with the correct tungsten white balance and achieve your look in post. Which, by the way, will have to be done because there is nothing that the dvx can do incamera to achieve the "same" look. They have a bleach bypass on their footage as well. Watch the behind the scenes, they discuss this 'look' quite a bit.

Achieving the Minority Report look can be done in post in Final Cut Pro with Film Effects 2.0 from nattress.com, which has a great bleach bypass filter (and the entire plug-in collection is only 100 bucks). wow, that sounded like a commercial. I have been using nattress a lot more since I bought a new Intel DualCore MacBook and Magic Bullet doesn't run on it.
If you use After Effects, you might want to check this out:

There are a number of ways to achieve a blue look look.
1/ In camera setting the white balance on a warm card, on the DVX you can simply select the exterior preset for pretty much the same result.
2/ Color Temp. Blue over your lighting fixtures.
3/ In post via color grading.
With the DVX I would be more inclined to do it in post. None is really better than the other, the choice is dependant on you, your set up.

Don't forget about production design. The costumes, the set decor, painted walls, even use of things like make-up, hazers (smoke machines) or practicals have an effect on your work.
