Mixing DV sources
I'm interested in picking up a a miniDV cam ($1k range) for shooting "B" roll footage to be mixed with footage shot on a high end (Sony or Canon, not yet determined)
Anyone care to share their wisdom? Thanks |

Howdy from Texas,
Just make sure you match manufacturers. If your main camera is a Canon, then another Canon will be a closer match than a Sony. You could always just color-correct in post but why go through this if you don't have to. Also, make sure your cheap 1-CCD sub-$1000 camcorder has an RGB filter in front of the CCD and not a complimentary color filter. The primary color filters go a long, long way toward getting a 3-chip look. Hope this helps, |

If you can find a Canon Optura Pi, get one. It has been discontinued for awhile but every once so often you can find one. Less than $1000, superb, has the RGB filter. Good luck,

I just used Canon as an example here. Click on the "profile" button below my signature on any of my posts, and it'll pull up a list of gear that I use. You can fill this info in for yourself using the "user CP" button at the top of every page. Hope this helps,
