My lighting discovery...

Hello all, I am a relatively new user to the DVX... but I just tried some lighting tonight.

This was the first time I had ever tried lighting, and I had always been troubled trying to get a nice clean smooth film look like a lot of you have had. I discovered that lighting was probably the most important thing I had been missing.

Is lighting really the answer to the film look once you have the controls down on the DVX? Is it possible to have a really good shot without proper lighting? I feel like I've made a great discovery that I should have known long ago.

Yes. That and editing. As a DP, I am also amazed how much professional sound mixing will improve the photography.

Of course you can! You just need luck.
