Marcin,

You'll find that most M2 or Mini-35 owners aren't willing to rent their equipment, mainly because most people don't treat rentals very well and most shooters on this forum don't have commercial equipment or rental insurance in case something goes bad - which it easily can and often does.

Your best bet if you need an adapter is to either purchase one yourself (the Brevis is a cost-effective and high-quality alternative to the M2) or, try the Red Rock forum and see if any registered owners are willing - but don't hold your breath. (^_^)

Hi all,

We're looking for someone with an xl1s to serve as 2nd camera for a 6 hour shoot in Clinton, VA.
The 2nd camera will be mainly static with minimal, if any hand held work. Compensation is $300.
Please email me if interested.

Thanks,
Nancy

Hi,

I'm looking for help to get a miniDV PAL to NTSC conversion in the East Bay (Walnut Creek, Concord, Berkley, Oakland, etc..) area.

It's approx 5 minutes worth of footage.

Thanks in advance,
David

I can do it if you want to send it to me. Otherwise contact Tom Adams here...

If he can't do it there are several others AVP member studios out there that can probably do it for you.

Be sure to tell him I sent you!

I was looking for awhile for someone to rent from. I may be purchasing an HVX, M2, and set of Nikon lenses in the next month or two and renting it out to recoup some of the costs. Since I know most people renting this equipment from me, rather than going to a rental house, are doing so because its cheaper and, thus, probably doesn't have insurance, I'll require a security deposit. I guess I could do this via paypal. It seems like the most logical way of insuring that my equipment returns to me in good condition or at least the damages are paid for. Does anyone else rent out there equipment and have any suggestions on policy, etc?

No offense, but 10/21/06 was 3 weeks ago.

Some other date perhaps?

you can borrow mine but I doubt you will want too. Mine is PAL and you would have to come to Norfolk to get it and you would have to use panasonic tapes.

I reccently bought a Macbook Pro and a GL2, i have also aquired Final Cut Studio Academic. After I installed the nessicary software for the GL2 onto my Macbook i then installed Final Cut Studio. Upon hooking my camera up to the Macbook via Firewire, putting it into VCR mode, and then launching Final Cut, i was sorely disspointed when it found no camera. My mac detects the camera but Final Cut does not. Nor do any other programs; like the ones the GL2 came with. I have since updated all the software and still no results. The same camera works just perfectly on my PC and i just now finished editing in Premiere. So i know it is not my camera or cable. Can anyone help me??

Read the FCP manual, and just eliminate one variable one at a time. If you don't have any luck contact Apple tech support to help you troubleshoot.

Chris, go to your capture settings and adjust them so you can capture via firewire from your gl-2. There's a tab on the capture window for capture settings. This should work.

Nancy,

I got the gear and time. Let me know if you are interested.

Thanks,

Leo

It looks like I am shooting my next short film in Calaveras Cunty, Angels Camp city (CALIFORNIA) in January of 2007.

Is there anyone who is interested in helping out who lives in that area, please contact me at duke@hd-motionpictures.com

We are looking for anyone with some film experience, or is interested in getting some.

We managed to find a willing and very capable shooter. DVInfo triumphs again!

Hi David,

Probably a bit late now but maybe next time?

I'm a TV composer from Southampton (did an awful lot of the Meridian and ITV themes) who loves a project and also has a few useful bit and pieces Sony PD170, VX1000 and FCP Studio.

Email me if I can be of any use in the future.

Cheers for now,

Colin

Hello All,

I'll be in Atlanta all next week on a shoot. We will be using our XL H1 with a Formatt matte box. We have the proper adapter for it to fit the 72mm threads of the stock Canon 20x but need a step down ring for using it with our Redrock M2 and lenses.

I need to go from 72mm down to 49mm. B&H has one and we might get them to overnight one to us but I'd like to avoid that.

I can't get one here in Roanoke because it's such an odd jump in sizes. I even called Showcase in Atlanta and they'd have to order it as well.

Any help you guys could offer will be greatly appreciated.

hi people.
would any of you know if there's an audio-video store in Brussels or Kortrijk selling Apple Mac hardware and software?
thanks

Hi. I own my own camera gear (video) and am located in south jersey. I will volunteer my shooting services in exchange for experience in shooting docs and film. Weddings and events has been a part of my life for ten years so I kinda know a little about pressure and how to tell a story. If I'm on the wrong site please let me know where else to post.

Thanks

dumb question, I know. There's probably 8,000 talented shooters in Burbank!
Newbe film maker needs shooter great with miniatures for filming a 6 minute puppet show and some piano playing for an online competition. Simple production in a hurry (must shoot this week). Pay is $250 for short consultation and 1-day shoot. Must be patient to not only get nice shots but correct performance as well. Great if you have own camera/lens for better depth-of-field, but can also use my HD3. Low light is more important than HD for this, though. Better if you have DVI references. email grifmusic@mac.com

Finaly, I just order the M2 conventer for myself.
and I'm willing to rent if you need one.

Best,

Awesome Marcin. Hope you like it! I may just have to rent that from you in a month or so before I buy mine- test it out and see how I like it. Are you getting it with just the Nikon mount? I was thinking about getting PL maybe also. Let me know once you get it. Thanks!

I just shot a short in Japan (on a Z1) and dumped all the tapes to disk while there (and had the camera) but one half of one file (i.e. about 30 min. of one file/tape) is corrupt... or I hope SO!! I hope it is not the tape!! I do not have a Z1 or FX (I am a producer) but would like to know if anyone would be generous enough to help me out, I live in Las Vegas. I just need to recapture one tape (one hour) to Vegas 7.

I might be down in Vegas for Thanksgiving... I'll let you know if I come, I'll bring my z1. Hey, that last bit rhymed!

I need a pro videographer in the San Jose area for a corporate talking head that will be ultimately put on the web. I would like an experienced videographer with very good lighting and skills. Equipment can be a PD150 or similar with good lighting and sound package.
Thank You, Aldo Visaggio

I'm working on a Holiday DVD for people that don't have the money or time for decorations.
I decided to videotape my Christmas tree and decorations, and perhaps drive around the neighborhoods taping the elaborate house decorations. I'm also thinking of going to a shopping mall for some footage.
I was wondering if anyone has any footage of holiday snow scenes. I've already been online and found stills for over $300. This is a non profit project.

I apologize if this post is in the wrong category.

Hi guys,

3. - With exstensive industry experience

Hi Arthur, welcome aboard DV Info Net. I have moved your thread to our
helping hands forum. Good luck!

Bit of a long shot but i thought i'd post here.

Im producing/shooting a Tropfest (www.tropfest.com) short, and we understand the value of a good sound. Which is why they would be the only ones getting paid.

We are on a tight budget but its a one day shoot. If anyone knows anyone familiar with HDV and its levels etc or has a dat (even better!) we would love to get in contact with them.


Cheers,
Ben Gurvich

You might try istockphoto.com - their still photos usually cost $1.

Are you planning to sell this DVD?

Hey Ben,
If you move the festval to south Florida, we'll shoot hdv and do the sound...LOL.
good luck.

Thanks for the helping hand, Rob :)

Philip, I plan to give these away. In my church and at work, there are a number of people who don't have money for decorations. Also some people don't seem to be in the holiday spirit.
Thanks for the website info. Art

Well,

If the film does well, i think i mihgt be able to visit. Tropfest is a big deal if you win.

He told me never to forget the number 768x576. He knew his stuff but i had an arguement with him over the fact his beta sp looked nothing like 35mm which he thought it did.

i was right ofcourse (i think when you spend a lot on a camera you get delusional)!

Thanks for the tip,

Cheers,

I'm a student filmmaker working on putting together my reel. My DP cannot make the second date of shooting.

We are shooting December 13, wednesday night into Thursday morning.

We are going to use the redrock m2.

I am more concern with your lighting ability then your ability to use the m2. If you don't know how, I can operate camera.

Owning your own lighting is not necessary, but priority is given those who does.

PLEASE SEND REEL OR online LINK TO YOUR REEL.

Shooting in a studio in North Hollywood.
