Wow, I love this film, saw it when it first came out and had no idea it was shot on the DVX. Are you sure that it was and where do I find this info?

I'm glad I watched it before I knew they used the DVX just in case I was sitting there trying to work out how he got certain shots. I'm only interested because I shot my first feature with the 100b last year and when I saw how good it looked on the big screen at my local theatre I was blown away, as were the audience. I've posted the reaction of half a dozen e.mails I recieved from people I don't know on my website in the photos section. www.containsnutsfilm.co.uk There was also a lady from an international film festival there who said she wanted to show it and I picked up paid work behind the camera from a man in the audience. So, sticking by the DVX for one more at least! When I'm forced to upgrade it I'm going to go for the ...
