I would really like to know the logistics of the opening scene to raging bull. How did he get get such a crisp distinct black of the ropes in the foreground yet the hazy gray in the back? what do you think it was how did he make it look so fuzzy and foggy yet the ropes so crisp and the light bulb flashes so definitive? any help would do thanks

Hi I was just wondering is this a good buy for a shotgun mic that is attachable to the HV20 http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-ATR-5...8510&sr=1-1 Don't have a huge budge anything from this to about 75 bucks is good. Any advice on a better shotgun mic. thanks! bye

mm well I guess just standard. I've seen comparison footage and I can't tell the diff. I really hope I don't waste like almost 1500 grand on basically nothing. Is the DVX worth the extra money basically?

Alright basically I just wanted to ask, is the Canon HV20 better than the Panasonic DVX100b? price regardless just like if they were the same price, which would be the better choice and why?

Alright, thanks a bunch! I think the AC adapter is the charger because on another site with the camera it says: AC Adapter/ Battery Charger. I'm convinced that it is! Thanks again

If anyone could look at the link. Down at the bottom it says "What's in the box" Does it come with a charger? It says AC cable and AC adapter I think? So basically no charger? I'd have to get that seperately?

What's a good website to buy camera's from? Anyone know? I"m looking for an DVX100B and I just want like all the plugin's you know. A Charger, just enough to plug the camera in and start shooting. I have a firewire editing program. I just need to be able to charge it and shoot it.

mainly documentary

Hi I was just wondering if this is all I would need to buy to actually use the DVX100b. Does it come with everything I need? Any help would be appreciated! thx http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-AG-DVX100B...l/dp/B000BYJFYW

Nice collection! I see alot of books with the work "Kubrick" in the title.

Well, Jim Last time I checked you weren't the authority on which hobby belongs to who. From my own personal experience I'm pretty sure that that ,throughout the course of history, has been left up to the individual not the masses. If you think this post was aimless then why comment on it? How could you'r reply have any relevance if my this entire post (to you) has none? I think Jim need to FIND a hobby... and leave those alone who are trying to delevop theirs. Sorry I DON'T have a lot of money and thanks to everyone who accually helped I look forward to the new reading material.

No need responding. I found out it is http://www.consumeraffairs.com/cameras/usaphotonation.html I found out the truth. THX Ricky!!

Hello, well I was looking at websites to buy a camera and I came across this. Now, the day I saw the website the DVX100b was running for (cheapest) $699 then the next day I came across it and it was $989. They said it was due to fluctuation in price of electronics everyday. I'm not so sure of this? Should I buy from these guys? I'm a little scared, but if I can get it for that much then I'm happy.

Please help. I'm looking to buy a new camera and here are my options The one I'm probably going to end up buying is this one http://www.usaphotonation.com/products.asp...mp;dept_id=2527 the 700 package. However, I was wondering if THIS camera was better? What would be a better buy for a more professional look? http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?sk...d=1166840341098 Thx for your help!

Hey, I just bought a book as I'm very new to cinematography,and I was just wondering if you would think that this was the right buy. http://www.amazon.com/Five-Cs-Cinematograp...0123&sr=8-1 It got very good reviews and hope that it's just what I was looking for.
