  1. Tim, Paolo, thanks, I think I'm in heaven and have finally found me the right forum to learn from. My g4 17in. is 1.67ghz with 2 gigs of memory and a Graid 500gig external HD. I'm waiting on some financing and then I can make my purchase. I think, from what I've seen, it's the right camera for me. Oh, I did hear that some people find the ear muff on the handle annoying? Have a great holiday weekend and thanks for the imput. Tim
  2. Thank you Paolo, I'll keep your site in mind when I get the camera. I understand the basics with video camera operations, I guess I wasn't to clear. I"ve been involved with video cameras since 88 and the last 7 years working for a network here in LA as camera op. The optura was the only thing I could afford two years ago, so I went ahead and bought it, so that I could create my my own little thoughts on tape. I like it it's a good camera and has some functions that are manual, like focus, and shutter speed, and iris control. If you had the money. 6 thousand, would you buy this camera JVC HD100u ? What I see being done with it is very impressive I loved the black and white Or is the Canon xl1 or 2 or a sony pd 1oo just as good? I want an interchangable lense. I have a powerbook g4 with FCP5 loaded on it and want to do some slow motion also. I'm going to be using the camera working on a few documentaries, and interviews, and 1 film as soon as I clear up some details. sorry to all for the double post above.
  3. good morning all. I'm new to the forum and I guess this is where I should be hanging around since I've never worked with a film camera except my Kodak slr 35mm still. For the last few years I've been fixated on this camera (JVC HD100u) Just to get started and have something to shoot with I bought a Canon Optura xi and it's fine for my shoooting style of run an gun and for pratice with uploading to the internet in different codecs and editng in FCP but I have an idea and I want this JVC HD100u for personal and professional use. What are your thoughts about renting compared to buying? if you rent would it be better to rent a more exspensive camera like the new red instead of the JVC HD100u. I want to own because of the flexibility of having the camera ready. Enjoyed your reels, very nice, and my only other questions is what are the major drawbacks of this camera. I have some shhoting I want to do in the Mohave Desert, just early sunrise and sunset backgrounds. Thanks Tim

  5. Standing on the metro rail platform was beautiful and the interior shots of the sewing was warm and pleasing. The only thing that bothered me was the the walk down the hall with the colored flurorescents, they seemed to wash out the woman in white and take away from the CG butterflies. I know absolutely nothing about film, I'm more into digital compositions and video.
  6. Hello everyone, I just found this site though an exhaustive internet search for camera jobs, and I hope that I can be of help to anyone that needs a professional, quick study, and avid learner of anything to do with the capture of moving images. I'm a cameraman with experience with working with the cammate jib, robotic and handheld ped mounted cameras. I can edit on my g4 powerbook with FCP5 and I have been experimaenting with ideas and upload compression codecs and formats at youtube. I use it as a reel but my jib work and other sources of my work are still on Beta sp. I'm currently running camera every Sunday at Hollywood park. I enjoy going to cinegear every year and am just really interested in talking and making friends. And a job wouldn't be to bad either.
