Look ma no hands
hehe.. In another thread he mentioned something about trying to get sort of a Se7en look.
I'd just shoot it straight and get the look you want in post. It'll give you more options.

Play around with chroma phase, and level but I agree with HorseFilms that you should shoot for normal color representation and mess with the look with you editing software. This method gives you the most flexibility. Do you have Magic Bullet? It is another good tool to help you with this look.
Welcome aboard.

lol guys are you not understanding whats being said?
Shoot with the picture as flat as you can, this way you have as much more room to play around with your footage
Here are my settings ALWAYS
Everything is set to 0. sometiems my pedestal is set to +2 ( makes it look more flat, but you actually get a little bit more information in the dark areas, which can be fixed in post )
Its best to capture ALL the detail and from there pic and choose what you want visible or dark or light in post
then im on Cinelike D for dynamic range ( givesyou the most latitude from black to white ( should look the flattest once again )
Cinegamma
Knee is on auto

If I remember correctly, andystarbuck mentioned that doing any color correction in your NLE after it has been shot will degrade the image slightly due to the image being compressed before it gets recorded to miniDV tape. If I'm not wrong, the compression ratio for DV is 5:1. On the other hand, he mentioned that if you make adjustments in-camera before the image gets written to miniDV tape, you're working with a non-compressed image & have that much color information to work with before it gets compressed. So he said that the quality of the image in terms of color, etc will look better than adjusting the images in post, once it has been written to tape.
