Video from my 2nd day w/dvx100a :) at DVinfo.net

Michael Petro · April 11th, 2004, 12:09 AM

I decided to take the family out and try out the new cam. What I shot is below. I set the cam to scene file1 (the default that came with the camera) and only changed the ND filter. I was impressed ( of coarse I have been using only consumer grade camcorders untill now)and manual focus every now and then, but mostly left it to autofocus. I captured and edited in Vegas with no enhancements except for cross fades( maybe to many) no color correction no nothing.
Its not the greatest vid you will see . but i would like some feed back(how I can do it better). I was mostly testing and having fun with the family but it turned out nice...should have bought this cam long b4 now:)
This was shot and edited on 4-10-2004

Gear used:
dvx100a
tripod
ford station wagon
and some cardboard
